White Castle was “craveable” long before the term became a QSR cliché. In fact, since its founding in 1921, the brand quietly pioneered many conventions of the industry. It tried QSR delivery in the 1930s, had drive-thrus and app-based advance ordering years before most competitors, and its product went into grocery stores over 35 years ago. Not surprisingly, this QSR/CPG hybrid was very well positioned to weather, even prosper from the pandemic year. CMO Lynn Blashford explains how a highly centralized structure of nearly 400 company-owned outlets helped White Castle make the necessary pivots. At the same time, the company structure also...

Ep. 16 Urban Skin Rx founder/CEO Rachel Roff
It has been a wild ride this year for skincare maker Urban Skin Rx and its founder/CEO Rachel Roff.
