In a bit of interesting automotive news, Aston Martin has officially arrived in India.

Mercedes-Benz's August 2009 sales decline — falling luxury demand at the trough of the global financial crisis, the Daimler/Chrysler unwind aftermath, and what the moment revealed about premium brand elasticity.
Automotive, defense, and energy are three sides of the same communications problem: capital-intensive companies, long product cycles, heavy regulation, and audiences that include regulators, investors, suppliers, and the public at the same time.

This desk covers the communications work behind the industrial economy: EV and mobility launches and their recall playbooks, defense primes and the venture-backed defense-tech wave, utilities and renewables developers operating under climate policy and permanent crisis exposure, and the agencies and in-house teams that serve them.
