#040 - The most creative Coronavirus company pivots

(Pivots • 3 mins • Read on website)

Hola. It's been a while. I had an article done last week. But it didn't make it past the wine tasters (my brothers). So I've done another.

All aboard the coronavirus creative pivot train:

1) Evo Entertainment cinema

Evo Entertainment converted their parking lot into a drive-in movie theatre.

It opened a fortnight ago to Spider-Man Homecoming. Every show since has been sold out:

2) Shake Shack

Shake Shack launched “DIY burger kits” with a free cooking tutorial. Now everyone stuck at home could recreate their legendary Shackburger:

3) New Balance

In six simple words New Balance became a company with a much bigger purpose than just selling shoes.

4) Lucky Devil Lounge

Portland strip club, Lucky Devil, transitioned to food delivery service, Boober Eats.

Pay $30, and a pair of scantily clad dancers deliver to your door:

5) Joe Wicks

In response to UK schools being cancelled, fitness instructor Joe Wicks started live-streaming 30-minute “P.E.” classes every morning on YouTube.

The nation got behind him. So far he's pulled in more than 35 million views:

6) The SnapBar

Events company, The SnapBar, pivoted to gift boxes full of products from struggling local businesses.

After selling 500 in Seattle, they've expanded to LA, San Francisco, and Portland:

7) Mobile Escape

The Canadian escape room company launched Escape Mail, escape room-style puzzles delivered to your door.

Demand was so overwhelming it's now a subscription service

I mentioned a few weeks ago how I was getting into John Prine's music. Sadly, he died this week. RIP.

For a heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter.
You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there.
Wrapped up in a trap of your very own
Chain of sorrow.
