The Art of Strategizing Success-Prone Digital Marketing

What significant changes have you noticed in the last few years, and how has the pandemic impacted businesses and their reliance on technology?
The past few years have been quite the ride. The world as we knew it has changed, all thanks to the pandemic. It is forcing us to re-evaluate the way we live, work, and interact with one another. The most significant change in this phase is our reliance on technology. We’ve gone from face-to-face and in-person interactions to virtual ones, which have become the new norm. The silver lining is that technology has enabled us to work from anywhere, collaborate remotely, and continue our daily lives while maintaining social distancing.
This positive shift toward technology has created a significant demand for new technology solutions. Businesses and individuals seek ways to improve their digital capabilities and stay ahead of the curve. The product lifecycle has also significantly expanded, as staying current with the latest technology has become more critical than ever. If products don’t evolve and offer a fair share of value to the end users, they quickly become irrelevant.
The past few years have been a time of significant change and upheaval, and we’ve had to adapt quickly to navigate these challenges. However, with technology as our ally, we’ve persevered and continued our lives as best we can.
Customer data has become more valuable with the pandemic changing how customers interact. In light of this, how is your company leveraging customer data in the food and beverage industry?
The approach to leveraging customer data started years ago when vending machines sold nickel candy bars; we are now refining it with technology. We have always understood the importance of utilizing customer data to better understand their behavior and preferences. Currently, we analyze data surrounding ‘what time of day customers visit our restaurants or log into our app, as well as their buying behavior.’ Leaning on this information, we can tailor our interactions and deals to be more relevant to each customer, straying away from mass marketing and toward a personalized approach.
We should constantly be looking for ways to innovate and stay ahead of the curve. We must keep leveraging new technologies and actively engage with and provide opportunities for the next generation of professionals in the tech space.
We aim to reach them at the right time with personalized deals and offers unique to their spending and frequency patterns rather than bombarding our customers with irrelevant messages and promotions. For instance, if a customer works a night shift and typically makes their lunchtime purchase at 4 PM, we can use this data to offer them an attuned deal that is more likely to be relevant and enticing to them. In the end, our goal is to provide the best possible experience to each customer and create a sense of loyalty through personalized engagement.
As a recognized leader and expert in your field, I am curious about what technologies you are excited about and looking forward to in the near future.
I don’t consider myself an innovation leader or industry expert, as I am also constantly learning and growing with technology. However, I am excited about the recent developments in AI technology, like Chat GPT and other chat-based models. Although there is wariness regarding the implementation of such solutions, they have a great potential to substantially improve efficiency and productivity in our day-to-day operations, which will lead to better results in projects and initiatives. Specifically, developing AI and ML in our industry is valuable in effectively communicating with customers and enhancing their overall experience.
As an ending note, what is your advice for other senior leaders and CXOs working in the food and beverages space? How can they extract the full potential of emerging technologies?
We should constantly look for ways to innovate and stay ahead of the curve. We must keep updating about new technologies and actively engage with and provide opportunities for the next generation of professionals in the tech space. This way, we can benefit significantly from the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that young professionals bring. By involving them in our projects and initiatives, we can provide them with valuable experience and professional development opportunities and position ourselves to better understand and serve the needs and preferences of this growing demographic. In short, by opening up and collaborating with the youth, we can create a dynamic and innovative ecosystem in the tech space.

ArtDependence | Rinko Kawauchi receives the Sony World Photography Award 2023.
One of the most important Japanese photographers working today, Kawauchi has achieved international renown for her intimate and luminous images, capturing ephemeral moments of everyday life.
More than thirty images by the photographer will be shown at the Sony World Photography Awards 2023 exhibition, which returns to Somerset House, London from 14 April – 1 May 2023. The selection, made by the artist, spans over twenty years of her career and highlights significant milestones and themes across some of her most iconic series: Illuminance (2011), AILA (2004), Utatane (2001), and Ametsuchi (2013).
Kawauchi was born in 1972 in Shiga Prefecture, Japan and first began taking photographs at the age of 19. In the early 1990s she worked as a photographer for an advertising agency, before moving to a Tokyo studio to focus on making her own work. She first gained international attention in 2001 after the publication of three photobooks, Utatane, Hanabi, and Hanako. Two of the series went on to win Japan’s most prestigious award for emerging photography, the Kimura Ihei Award.
Kawauchi is influenced by Shinto, which holds that everything has a spirit or energy, called ‘kami’. Accordingly, Kawauchi’s lens is patient and empathetic towards its quotidian subjects: shimmering lights reflected in a mirror, a pair of hands braiding thread together, sunbeams flooding through the canopy of a forest. Her photographs have been compared to haikus, a style of short-form poetry originating from Japan which through its lines often reflects upon a wider meaning or truth. So too, Kawauchi’s spare visual language gives these seemingly small moments a sense of great weight and significance.

TipSheet: Austin City Council, 4.13.23
Thursday, April 13, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Today City Council will convene for its regular Thursday meeting. As usual, anyone can read through the agenda, which is posted online, but we’ve done our level best to pick out the most interesting bits to make things a little easier for our readers.
After two deaths and a lot of online speculation, Council looks to step up safety measures near Rainey Street with a resolution from Council Member Zo Qadri that looks at increased patrols, cameras and a reduction in overserving bar patrons. In slightly tamer Lady Bird Lake news, we reported on a plan that will bring new art to the hike-and-bike trail after a long hiatus. Today, Council gets a chance to approve said plan and make it official.
In a potentially huge Land Development Code-changing step, Council will also vote on a resolution from Council Member José Velásquez that will set the wheels in motion to eliminate non-accessible parking requirements for bars in Austin. In a less-huge, but still-significant move, Council will also consider changes that incorporate the risks of wildfires into development.
Council Member Vanessa Fuentes has spearheaded the distribution of Project Connect anti-displacement funds. There’s $300 million to distribute in total, but this resolution covers the next three years, distributing $75 million as follows: land acquisition, preservation and rehabilitation: $43 million; affordable housing development: $14 million; programs and other strategies addressing immediate needs: $14 million; staffing, community engagement and marketing: $4 million. (You can read the full breakdown here.)
Council Member Qadri has also brought forward a resolution that looks at working with the county, Integral Care and the Austin-Travis County Sobering Center to develop a diversion program that focuses on housing and mental health as an alternative to throwing people in jail.
After a postponement to work out the kinks, Council Member Mackenzie Kelly’s resolution that calls for an aerial fire truck for the city’s fire department is back, with language that asks that equitable response times, gaps in service and staffing shortages be taken into consideration when considering its purchase. In other public safety news, Kelly has a different resolution on today’s agenda that looks to fund and distribute Narcan, which helps reverse opioid overdoses, as the region (and county) continues to battle a crisis of overdoses.
And, in zoning news, we’re never quite sure what Council will take up, but looking over the agenda there are a handful of cases that might be familiar to our readers.
After a long hiatus, the St. James Baptist Church property is back with a request for another zoning change – this time to multifamily. Council will also consider a multifamily zoning in North Austin that was endorsed by the Zoning and Platting Commission but now has a valid petition against it, a project on North Shoal Creek Boulevard, a rezoning on Swansons Ranch Road that triggered fears about road capacity and an East Riverside Drive rezoning that could pave the way for almost 700 new homes. Council could also take up a rezoning of former tank farms on the increasingly built-up Airport Boulevard corridor near Springdale Road, a downzoning in Montopolis that (kind of) flummoxed the Planning Commission and a proposed bar on Guadalupe that stressed neighbors at the Planning Commission.
The Austin Monitor’s work is made possible by donations from the community. Though our reporting covers donors from time to time, we are careful to keep business and editorial efforts separate while maintaining transparency. A complete list of donors is available here, and our code of ethics is explained here.

The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art : Coyote Park : I Love You Like Mirrors Do – The Eye of Photography Magazine
The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art presents Coyote Park: I Love You Like Mirrors Do. The exhibition explores multi-disciplinary artist Coyote Park’s deep bonds – between loved ones, lands of origin, diasporas, and queer, trans and Indigenous kin – creating spaces of togetherness and liberation. Informed by LGBTQIA+ visual histories, I Love You Like Mirrors Do began with the artist’s research on figurative pairs across the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art’s collection, from silver prints by fin de siècle Prussian photographer Wilhelm von Gloeden, to erotic drawings by twentieth-century Japanese artist Goh Mishima, to the celebration of queer, Black love by contemporary South African artist Zanele Muholi. Gestures, backdrops, props, and other visual elements from collection works are borrowed and interpreted in Park’s tableaux, which centers on the artist’s own constellation of relationships and intimate entanglements.
As a Two-spirit, Indigenous (Yurok), Korean-American artist, Park works to expand the spectrum of queer representation, noting that “we are always looking for ourselves in art.” They embrace photography’s unique capacity for world-building: the single frame that still photography affords the viewer hovers in time, documenting ephemera and energetic connections between the artist’s past lovers, current partners, and those they hold close. In Park’s process of collaborative image-making, they capture the unspoken understandings of how they see and are seen, and the dynamic fluidity of both: a process underscored by the exhibition’s title. Through objects, gestures, and form, I Love You Like Mirrors Do iterates images of the self in relation to others: a self that is not intrinsic or inherent, but continually negotiated and produced. Park envisions love dynamics, lived and represented, as reflective and contingent. We are all mirrored refractions of one another.
Park’s is the first exhibition in The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art’s Interventions series which engages LGBTQIA+ artists and cultural producers to dive into the Museum’s collection and creatively present their research, building new narratives and interpretations from diverse subjectivities. The Interventions series offers a unique platform for public access to the Museum’s artworks, establishing a new avenue for showcasing the expansive and historical collection that Leslie-Lohman has acquired over five decades.
The end result is a dialogue, representing the shared histories and lived realities that influence the LGBTQIA+ community of today and the future.
I Love You Like Mirrors Do marks Park’s first ever museum exhibition. “The Museum is proud to support this pivotal moment in Park’s trajectory as an artist,” says Alyssa Nitchun, Executive Director at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art. “Their ability to contextualize works from our collection and to offer a contemporary, intersectional perspective is acutely significant to Leslie-Lohman as a space that affirms and engages the past, present and future realities of LGBTQIA+ lives.”
“In these photographs, as with mirrors, the ocean and with my loved ones, my gender is a prism: it changes color based on the light refracted through it,” says the artist Coyote Park. “As I say to a lover in the film created for the exhibition, ‘I am not just the strength of my body, I am not the amount of hair, the deepness of my voice, I am not just read as boy or girl. I am not what a public perception projects on me.’ The film’s addition to the photographic work serves as a living organ of many voices: an ephemeral experience of memories between me and the loved ones in the photographs (Tee Jaehyung Park, River Gallo, Kaliko Aiu, Em Grotton, Ke’ron J. Wilson, Hercules Goss-Kuehn, and Bones Tan Jones).”
“It has been extraordinary working with Coyote Park for this first iteration of Interventions,” says Stamatina Gregory, Chief Curator at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art. “Their process of research into LLMA’s collection, and their deployment of formal references within this new body of work has been playful, open, and intuitive. But more critically, these works are a reclamation: they move our queer visual histories toward more inclusive and radical forms of relation.”
The exhibition also features a section of artworks from the Museum’s collection from which Park drew inspiration. Featured pieces include artwork by Goh Mishima, Leah Michaelson, Li Ming Shun, Luigi & Luca, Marcelina Martin, Marion Pinto, Tee A. Corrine, Wilhelm von Gloeden, Yannis Nomikos, and Zanele Muholi.
About The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art

Peter Fetterman Gallery : The Power of Photography #29 – The Eye of Photography Magazine
This is the 29th installment of the online series by Peter Fetterman Gallery called the Power of Photography highlighting hope, peace and love in the world. We invite you to enjoy and reflect on these works during this time.
Sarah Moon

The process of creation. Sarah has always engaged in the great dance of life on a level very few can reach. She has been given a special gift of observation and incredible insight which thankfully she shares with us.
Ralph Gibson
White Nude, 1989

Much of Ralph’s work is spare, sensual and profound like this image. He has lived a full and rich life which is thankfully still ongoing with great travel, adventures and deep encounters with many of world’s greatest painters, writers and photographers from Dorothea Lange to Marguerite Duras. But he can hold his own with them in terms of sophistication and productivity.Perhaps the hardest subject to contribute something fresh and inventive to is the female nude but here it is in front of you to marvel at in all its beauty.
Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004)

Henri was always very self-deprecating. I don’t think I ever heard the word “art” come out of his mouth when talking to him about his work. To call one of the greatest bodies of work produced in the 20th Century in any medium as a “trade” is of course quite amusing. No one was more a witness to the great moments of history than he was. He was the first Western photographer to be allowed to work in the Soviet Union and given incredible access because of his international reputation. No more so than the permission to photograph behind the scenes of the celebrated Bolshoi Ballet. His long out of print book “The People of Moscow” is a book collector’s gem. Of course, for me it was always a dream to own a great Degas painting but this image is up there with one.
Emmet Gowin
Edith, Chincoteague, Virginia, 1967

I don’t think there is a more powerful, romantic, tender, intimate image in the history of photography than this one. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. Emmet Gowin has spent many years photographing his wife Edith. They are more than just a series of images of her. He has created a novel about her. I find the emotion permeating this special one so intense and universal. It is almost a summation of a life fully lived through all its stages in one single frame. But in the end it is really about what it is to love and be loved.
Arnold Newman (1918-2006)
Martha Graham, 1961

Arnold Newman loved to shoot his subjects in their natural environments. That’s why he took his cameras over to 316 E 63rd Street on March 2nd, 1961 to capture the formidable Martha Graham. She was known as the Mother of Modern Dance, as important to her profession as Picasso was to painting or Stravinsky was to music or Frank Lloyd Wright was to architecture.
She stands in front of her rehearsal barre almost as if an arrow is about to pierce through her heart and she is ready to move to escape it and in the process move us with her power and sheer force of nature as she did in each her performances and creations.
Louis Stettner (1922-2016)
Times Square at Night, New York, 1952

Louis was mentored and encouraged by the great Paris-based, Hungarian-born photographer, Brassaï. Brassaï was renown more than anything for his incredible night time images shot in Paris in the 1930’s.
It was hard for Stettner not to have been influenced by one of his key teachers. Louis always told me that “Times Square” was the belly button of New York. He lived nearby and would often go there in the evening with his camera. People would come from all over New York to take in a movie, or a play or just to walk around. He was fascinated by the constant waves of humanity to be found there.
I also think on this particular night he must have also been stimulated into action by the billboard for Elia Kazan’s great, great film “On The Waterfront”. No one who ever saw it when they were young could ever forget the power of it not to mention Brando’s haunting performance.
Wynn Bullock (1902-1975)
Child in Forest, 1951

I think Wynn is being perhaps being a little too modest here. I think to create an image of such beauty and power you would have had to devote a lifetime of dedication and experience to the task at hand. It is so far removed from just a simple act.
It was one of the stand out and most popular images in Edward Steichen’s 1955’s celebrated “Family of Man Exhibition” which later toured the world to enormous acclaim. This is an image one can stare at for hours and meditate on its various layers of meaning. But the one thing everyone can agree on is its luminosity as a print.
Neil Leifer
Portrait of Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers posing during Camera Day at Ebbets Field. Brooklyn, New York, 8/12/1956

This is a remarkable photograph of Jackie Robinson, one of Baseball’s all-time greats and the first player to break down the game’s racial barriers. What makes it remarkable is that Neil was only 14 years old at the time. He went on to have an illustrious career turning sports photography into an acknowledged art form. It was taken on “Camera Day” at Ebbets Field, a tradition where once a year the players posed for the youngsters in the stadium before the game began. Neil managed to hustle his way into a great position and created an iconic image of one of his heroes in his final year in the Major Leagues. Pure magic.
William Klein
Wings of the Hawk, 42nd Street, New York, 1955
© William Klein / William Klein Estate / Courtesy Peter Fetterman Gallery
Here William Klein captures all the edginess and allure in the signage and lighting of a pre-Disney clean up of Times Square. It’s like Scorsese in “Taxi Driver” but a generation or two before. You are caught up in the crowd, in the energy of the street and the allure of the movie marquee lighting. Cinema would be an allure for Klein too and he spent a big part of his career making films like the fashion world send up “Who are you Polly Magoo?” and the wonderful documentary “Muhammed Ali: The Greatest.”
Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002)
Ernest Hemingway, 1957
© Yousuf Karsh, Yousuf Karsh Estate /Courtesy Peter Fetterman Gallery
I have been enjoying the new Ken Burns/Lynn Novick PBS series on Ernest Hemingway. They are such superb filmmakers and it seems that whatever subject matter they turn their attention to, they unravel so many new and surprising levels of story-telling. Hemingway is no exception. It is not just a story about one writer’s tempestuous life. It really is a story about America and indeed the human condition itself. And staring at this great Karsh portrait, one of his best, is the perfect complement.

The Selects Gallery – Par Excellence : Chic : Capturing that ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’ in Photography – The Eye of Photography Magazine
The Selects Gallery presents an exhibition in collaboration with Par Excellence, the luxury artisan showroom dedicated to French craftsmanship. Entitled “Chic: Capturing that ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’ in Photography”, the exhibition creates a world centered around the glamour, sexiness, freedom, and creativity of couture fashion and editorial photography. The curation celebrates French style, reimagined by international fashion photographers.
The exhibition features renowned fashion photographers Terry O’Neill, Jacques Olivar, Kenneth Willardt, and Sylvie Castioni, alongside up-and-coming Nigerian photographer Adebayo Jolaoso, with images of supermodels Esther Cañadas, Doutzen Kroes, and the iconic Brigitte Bardot.
Terry O’Neill is one of the most celebrated and collected fashion photographers, best known for his work capturing youth culture in the 1960’s. In photographing the rise of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Brigitte Bardot, among many others, O’Neill defined celebrity and created a visual language for the representation of icons.
French photographer Jacques Olivar is known for his elegant, narrative-driven photographs; taking formalistic cues from classic film, Olivar imbues his models with a sense of character and mystery. Fashion is a critical element in his work, as he creates the world of the image around the clothes, letting them create the sense of character and mystery.
French photographer Sylvie Castioni is known for her intimate portraits of female models, which aim to connect to the subject’s sacred femininity and soul. Her images create a world of fashion and couture which is centered around women embracing their innate femininity and power.
Danish photographer Kenneth Willardt, a major contributor at Harper’s Bazaar US, is a versatile fashion photographer, known for his beauty images as well as his highly editorial fashion portraits. Marked by a combination of precision and joyful spontaneity, his modern aesthetic is highly emblematic of contemporary fashion photography.
Nigerian photographer Adebayo Jolaoso combines the classic fashion photography imagery he was raised seeing in magazines with a contemporary Nigerian eye. Through his technical, elegant, and imaginative images, he embraces diverse forms of self-expression and celebrates the diversity and beauty of Nigerian models.
The exhibition is the first photography exhibition to be hosted in the space after the renovation by interior designer Thomas Pheasant.
