Retailers leaned into strategic promotions over Thanksgiving weekend, and consumers responded with record-breaking spending. Ecommerce data highlights from Adobe: $6.1B spent on Thanksgiving (+8.8% YoY) $10.8B spent on Black Friday (+10.2% YoY) $13.2B projected for Cyber Monday (+6% YoY), with peak sales between 8-10 p.m. Discounts are the driving force, but they’re smaller than previous years, per Adobe and Salesforce. Key takeaway: Shoppers are spending smarter, and retailers are optimizing promotions to navigate inflation.

Regional banks struggle with carving an ownable space between big national banks that have lots of resources and small local banks that offer personal service. We turned this challenge into a positive for First Horizon Bank with a fresh and unique brand position in the financial industry, showcasing the bank as the "Best of Big and Small."

We were so excited to celebrate our 2024 accomplishments with our San Diego office by hosting a Thanksgiving potluck. We shared a delicious meal together, and reflected on everything we have to be thankful for. We could not be more proud of our teams this year, and are looking forward to an even better 2025.
