Hi there,

This week, we relaunched custom lists on Thingtesting. 🚀

You can now click the bookmark icon when discovering brands in our directory to create and save them to your very own custom lists. Early Thingtesters will remember a version of lists on our site, and today they are back and better than ever.

Curious what this looks like? Emma curated a list of 27 snacks and drinks for Sunday’s big game. We can't wait to see what lists you make! Tag us when you share them on social or send them here so we can feature them.

See you next Thursday,

Natalie

How are brands working with the growing number of user-generated content creators?

Including 22 brands that use UGC.

As 85% of shoppers say they’re more influenced by UGC than brands' own content, more brands have incorporated it into their marketing strategy.

But the growing number of creators has made it challenging for brands to sift through who to work with.

Meet Katherine, this week's community spotter.
Katherine is the founder and owner of Big Night, a company dedicated to curating everything you need for the perfect dinner party.

What are some brands you’ve recently spotted?

D.S. & Durga makes my go-to fragrances, and I just saw that they re-launched their Pistachio perfume. I need to know what that smells like.

Taion. I recently discovered Taion, a Japanese brand that makes luxe-feeling, sleek, packable down puffer jackets and vests. It’s a cold-weather upgrade that makes winter in NYC more bearable.

ABC+. I was just in Los Angeles, and kept seeing this new tinned fish line everywhere! Look out for its debut at Big Night soon.

Kaweco. I’m picky about my pens, and I love this short, chubby, sporty-chic ballpoint.

Carleen makes one-of-a-kind pieces from vintage fabrics. I love knowing I’m the only human in the world wearing my Carleen coat.
