Your Majesty — 10 things
December 1st · Issue #295

Hey ,

In a hands-on session this week, our CTO Kasper got the team up to speed on the latest and greatest in AI news and developments. And, we put our machine/human creativity to the test in a "holidays are coming" themed workshop.  

In a flurry of colourful stats, Spotify Wrapped once again surprised and delighted users. Naturally, it was a hot topic of discussion in the office, with some loving it and others, well, not so much.  

We’re covering all of this and more in the latest issue, 



⚔️ Your Majesty

P.S Check out our latest campaign launch below too – everyone has a price…
