Fiverr vs Groupon

Fiverr's Spoof Skincare Brand Rrelief Targets Work Stress

Fiverr has launched a satirical skincare brand, Rrelief, positioning it as a remedy for work-related stress. The campaign includes products like an anti-aging cream and a brightening concentrate, packaged with Fiverr credits worth $250 to encourage users to delegate tasks to freelancers. The humorous angle suggests that the best way to reduce stress is to outsource work, not to apply skincare. The campaign features unboxing videos from skincare creators Liah Yoo and Jasmine Phipps. Fiverr is giving away 14 kits with a total of $3,500 in credits via social media from September 28 to October 2, 2026. The creative work is directed by Nir Refuah and seeks to reposition Fiverr as a platform for reliable freelance talent, not just cheap gigs.

90% of SMEs Affected by Cyberattacks

A Kaspersky study cited by Retail-News reports that 90% of surveyed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe experienced at least one security incident within a year. The research finds that human factors — insufficient IT security knowledge, weak security culture, and poor organizational structures — are more often blamed for successful attacks than missing security technologies. Phishing affected 23% of respondents, AI-based attacks 18%, while vulnerabilities, business email compromise, supply-chain attacks and deepfakes each affected about 15%. Around 74% of surveyed companies have increased cybersecurity spending, investing in personnel, hybrid/cloud protection and security training; 65% plan further security investments. Kaspersky recommends combining modern security software with regular employee training, automated backups, strict access controls and email protection.
