Welcome to the first full week of July. We hope your July 4th went well—we enjoyed a long weekend ourselves. Let’s see what the brands got up to.

Jack in the Box and Snoop Dogg’s Munchie Meal Collaboration

For summer, Jack in the Box and Snoop Dogg partnered to bring consumers “Snizzacks and Sidez from Curleez to Jalepenizzle Poppers, to Bizurgers like the D-O-Double-Jack and Tasy Mothercluckers (Jack’s famous chicken sandwiches).” Customers could visit the Dogg in tha Box pop-up June 29 – July 2 in Inglewood, CA. And for those who missed the pop-up, the Snoop’s Munchie Meal is still available nationwide through August 6.

Bud Light & Dylan Mulvaney Update

Influencer Dylan Mulvaney released a statement lamenting Bud Light’s lack of support when its client base turned on her. And in the melee since the collaboration, Modelo has usurped Bud Light’s throne as the best-selling beer in America.

Comedian Ken Jeong Helps Cottonelle Find ‘Assvertisers’

Cottonelle is leaning into user-generated content (UGC) with a contest to select four brand ambassadors ("Assvertisers") who will earn $10,000 each. Actor and Comedian Ken Jeong is leading the charge by asking consumers to “get real about down there care.”

Taco Bell and Crocs Want You Comfy

The Taco Bell and Crocs Shoe collaboration is now available nationwide. These “Mellow Slides” allow “your feet to melt into the footbeds” while the Cheesy Gordita Crunch melts on your tongue.

Looking to expand your team without breaking the budget?

Try looking in the Ocean (pun most certainly intended). 🌊

Oceans embeds dedicated, full-time, offshore professionals to help you grow your headcount without the headache. You tell them where it's rocky — they’ll get you a “Diver” to calm the waters.

What makes Oceans different:

• Caliber of talent—You’ll be matched with a professional with 5-10 years of experience, most of which have degrees from international universities and have worked at major global organizations like Accenture, Deloitte, and Unilever.

• Depth of relationship—Unlike other outsourcing firms where people work for multiple clients, Oceans only operates on a fully embedded, long-term team model. Their “Divers”, like Krishanth and Dulakshi pictured here, aren’t project-based, they’re not part-time, and they don’t work for multiple clients—they’re entirely dedicated to a single client for the long term.

• Variety of roles—Hire for roles across Sales & Marketing, Finance & Accounting and Ops & Admin

• Competitive rate—Starting at $3,000/month, you’re adding a full-time resource to your team that can add tremendous value to your company
