Designing for digital nomadsIn our top stories this week, Stratcom Branding's Gail Macleod lists the golden rules to consider when designing packaging for digital nomads, and Lemok Group's Lebogang Mokubela weighs in on the Black Friday opportunity for SA retailers. In other news, Woolworths is trialling a recycling vending machine in its Palmyra store in Cape Town, and 'Scotch whisky' is now registered as a certification trademark in South Africa. Elsewhere, PepsiCo's first female CEO Indra Nooyi has stepped down after 12 years at the helm, and Baselworld's CEO René Kamm resigned days after The Swatch Group announced it was pulling out of the annual watch and jewellery trade fair. Last but not least, Clicks celebrates its 50th birthday since launching in Cape Town in 1968, and Fitbit Pay is now available in South Africa. Until next week, enjoy! Lauren Hartzenberg
