Dear Mrinal Mrinal,
As a Category Assistant at Woolworths, your role is crucial in managing and optimizing product categories to meet customer demands and drive sales. Over the past month, sales have increased by 10%, primarily driven by the fresh produce and health & beauty categories. The new marketing strategies have been successful, resulting in increased customer engagement and retention.
However, there are challenges in stock management, particularly in the dairy and bakery categories. There is a need for improved forecasting models to prevent stockouts and overstocks. We also recommend focusing on the digital transformation of the retail process to enhance customer experience and streamline operations.
In the upcoming period, we encourage you to focus on data-driven decision-making, strategic supplier partnerships, and innovative merchandising tactics to further improve category performance and overall business profitability.More...

David Lerouw Lascurain
Global Creative Director@Love, Bonito
Verified
I’m David Lerouw Lascurain, a globally experienced
Creative Director with over 15 years working at the intersection of fashion, branding, e-commerce, and
storytelling.
My journey began on editorial sets and behind studio monitors, and has evolved into leading creative
services for global brands across markets like Singapore, the US, Indonesia and Europe. My career has
always been driven by a core belief: that creativity without commercial viability is indulgence, and
commerce without creativity is invisible. The magic lives in the middle — and that’s where I thrive.
In 2018, I was named one of GQ Style’s Top 10 Most Influential Pioneers in Fashion — a proud moment
that recognised not just my contribution to the visual and editorial space, but my commitment to pushing
boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in brand integrity and audience connection.
I’ve had the privilege of shaping campaigns and content for brands like Love, Bonito, Pomelo, Condé
Nast, Porsche, New Balance, Adidas, Mercedes Benz DE, Woolworths and more. From styling and
concepting to production and brand development, my role has always been to bridge the artistic and the
strategic. I bring creative flair, but also operational rigour — guiding teams from concept to campaign
execution across all channels.More...
