Logitech Comms Head: Indifference Kills Brands Faster

Parekhit Bhattacharjee, Logitech's global head of communications for core products and juror for the PR category at The Drum Awards Festival, argues that brand indifference is more damaging than negative feedback. He urges brands to build clear convictions and integrate communications before decisions are made, rather than treating comms as an after-the-fact fix. Bhattacharjee says AI helps with data, sentiment tracking and execution, but cannot "read a room" or grasp subtle cultural and socio-political nuances; human character, empathy and accountability remain critical in crisis response. He predicts future comms leaders will be defined by intellectual curiosity, radical clarity and business acumen.

• Parekhit Bhattacharjee leads global communications for Logitech's core product category.
• Bhattacharjee is a juror for the PR category at the Drum Awards Festival.
• He states that indifference, not negative feedback, is the primary brand killer.

Burlington to Reinvest $55M Tariff Refunds into Lower Prices

Burlington CEO Michael O’Sullivan said the company will put the full $55 million in tariff refunds it received in Q2 toward lower prices rather than retaining the money to boost margins. Burlington reported Q2 sales up 11% year-over-year to nearly $3 billion, with store comps rising 2% and a record 51 store openings in the quarter (net +45). With the tariff refunds included, gross margin widened 250 basis points to 46.2% and net income doubled to $184 million (excluding a $41 million after-tax benefit, net income was $151 million). O’Sullivan said the move supports customers facing higher living costs and helps protect market share amid competitor strength at Ross and weaker comps at TJX U.S.

• Burlington received $55 million in tariff refunds in Q2 and plans to reinvest the full amount into lower prices.
• Q2 total sales rose 11% year-over-year to nearly $3 billion; comparable store sales were up 2%.
• Gross margin expanded by 250 basis points to 46.2% when tariff refunds are included; merchandise margin expanded 70 basis points excluding the refunds.
