This week, the Cone Communications team headed out to Sustainable Brands in Detroit for four days of conversation around “Redefining the Good Life.” From inspirational plenaries to tours experiencing the resurgence of Detroit, the week focused on what a new “good life” could mean – a shift from “better, faster, more” to perhaps a new definition focused on authenticity and mindful simplicity.
The conference was replete with bright ideas and concepts, but here are four key insights – some big and some small – that stood out to us:

“Sustainability targets provide partnership opportunities for industry and government agencies to address the global challenge of climate change to develop market-based solutions,” Newton said. “Ingersoll Rand’s commitment to the environment is evident in our investment in new technologies that provide higher energy efficiency in products and systems while implementing next-generation, low global-warming potential refrigerants.”

Kicking Off on Menstrual Hygiene Day, Tampax Aims to Fuel the
Conversation around Access to Feminine Care and Inspire Women Everywhere
to Give Back
CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, Procter & Gamble’s leading
feminine protection brand Tampax®, is collaborating with 20 social
influencers to donate one million tampons to women’s charities across
the United States over the next 30 days.
Menstrual Hygiene Day takes place on May 28 and is a global initiative
aimed at raising awareness around the challenges women and girls face
during their menstrual cycles. The initiative also strives to educate on
the role feminine hygiene plays in allowing women and girls to reach
their full potential.
In the United States alone, 1 in 3 women are either living in poverty or
on the brink of it1, which can make it challenging to secure
feminine hygiene products on a monthly basis. Without the proper
protection, a woman’s monthly cycle can compromise her dignity and
result in her missing work, skipping school, or sacrificing important
things in her life. Underserved women sometimes have to make a choice
between food and period protection, and Tampax wants to change that.
“It’s widely recognized that women and girls in developing countries
often lack access to menstrual hygiene products, but what most Americans
don’t realize is that this is true in our own backyard,” said Amanda
Hill, Marketing Director, North America Feminine Care at Procter &
Gamble. “We believe that every woman and girl deserves access to
feminine care products, and this donation is part of our continued
efforts in supporting those in need.”
With a donation of one million tampons in 30 days, Tampax aims to
encourage women to become catalysts for change in their own communities
by engaging in a national dialogue around the importance of access to
feminine products. Individuals all over the country can get involved by
using #PowerOverPeriods and share what actions they are taking to help
break the period stigma and help those in need.
“The women behind Tampax share my vision in providing equitable access
to menstrual hygiene, especially to those in need, and changing the
narrative around menstruation,” said Nadya Okamoto founder of the
501(c)(3) non-profit organization PERIOD.
“I’m inspired by what Tampax is doing to shine a light on this issue and
thankful that we can make access to period products a reality for even
more people with periods.”
Making a Difference
Influencers from coast-to-coast have banded together to support
organizations in their local communities. Some of those involved are YouTube
stars Marissa Rachel and Shanna Lisa, Miranda Mendoza of Slashed Beauty,
and Founder and CEO of MomTrends Nicole Feliciano. Notable charities
that will benefit are PERIOD, GOOD+ Foundation, Working Wardrobes, The
Midnight Mission, and Support the Girls.

Memorial Day weekend would seem like the best time for a big summer blockbuster to hit the theaters, but in recent years audiences have been focusing more on their tans and grillmaster skills over the holiday than going to a movie theater.
Past Memorial Day holiday weekend openings that were instant fails at the box office include: “Tomorrowland” ($33 million opening weekend), “Alice Through the Looking Glass” ($26.8 million), and “X-Men: Apocalypse” ($65.7 million). Now you can add two new releases from this year to that list.
Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” will win the holiday weekend, but the studio won’t be bragging about it. The fifth movie in the franchise headlined by Johnny Depp will take in an estimated $62 million ($77 million by the end of the four-day weekend), according to Exhibitor Relations. That’s below its industry projections of $80 million to $85 million.
It’s also the lowest opening for a “Pirates” movie since the first one, 2003’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” ($46.6 million).
Made for around $200 million (counting marketing), it looks like the movie is doing better overseas, with it taking over $200 million worldwide.
That led to Disney/Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” earning the second place spot over the weekend with $24.2 million by the end of Memorial Day, though the movie has been in theaters for four weeks.
The performance of “Pirates” and “Baywatch” domestically is the latest examples that studios are not bringing out their top material over Memorial Day weekend, or just staying clear of it. Business was down 15% from last year (big releases then were “X-Men: Apocalypse” and “Alice Through the Looking Glass”).
But there’s always a silver lining. “Wonder Woman” opens next weekend, and should have a huge opening weekend.
