You Asked, We Answered

THE BEST PART of my job is when I can carry out a request from our audience. I had a conversation with Gary Schellerer, VP/partner, ER2 Image Group, and Big Picture Editorial Advisory Board and Brain Squad member, about content we should cover in the magazine. He said, “An article about supply chain shortages that are affecting us would really be relevant this year. Material shortages are probably the most difficult challenge we have. Everybody is out of everything and manufacturers cannot keep up. Our ability to pivot into alternative products has been so important. That is an article I would certainly read.”

Elaine Scrima, another Board and Brain Squad member, echoed Gary’s thoughts. In a recent Brain Squad survey she wrote, “Supply chain and transit delays are also things we never had to typically plan for or incorporate into timelines, and that has been challenging, as well.”

Clearly this is an unprecedented topic that is continually affecting businesses. So, I reached out to Eileen Fritsch, a founding editor of this very magazine, who jumped at the idea and provided us with a compelling, timely piece on supply chain issues in the wide-format space, which you can read on page 30.

As you can see, members of the Big Picture Editorial Advisory Board and Brain Squad are an invaluable part of the brand’s strategic planning. The way we help you succeed is by covering exactly what you want to know.
