Your Majesty — 10 things
September 7th · Issue #289

Hey ,

Walking meetings, catch-ups on the balcony, lunch in the sun - here at Your Majesty we’ve been making the most of the sunshine during this summer reprise. 

We are hot (literally) on e-commerce trends this week, with articles exploring how to do social commerce well, hyper-personalization and a new trend, live shopping. Plus, our CTO Kasper’s latest thought piece has just gone live - the case for [ai] creativity. 

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend,

⚔️ Your Majesty
