Stellantis has made sweeping changes to its US marketing partnerships, cutting agency relationships and restructuring how it manages media, creative, and commercial activity across its brand portfolio. The moves are significant not just for the agencies involved, but for what they reveal about how a major automaker is rethinking the role of external partners in…
The 2025 marketing trends reports are out, and most of them will tell you the same things: AI is changing everything, first-party data is the future, and measurement is getting harder. They are not wrong. But most of these reports package observations as revelations, and they skip the part where they explain what any of…
Albertsons Media Collective is the retail media network operated by Albertsons Companies, one of the largest grocery chains in the United States. It gives brands access to Albertsons’ first-party shopper data, on-site and off-site media inventory, and closed-loop measurement tied to actual in-store and online purchase behaviour.

UGC marketing KPIs need a serious rethink. Most brands are measuring the wrong things: impressions, saves, and share counts that look good in a deck but tell you almost nothing about whether user-generated content is driving real commercial outcomes.

Most SaaS companies skip this entirely, treating go-to-market as a sequence of activities rather than a set of bets with known failure modes. That framing shift changes…
November 2025 brought a steady stream of rebrands, some deliberate and well-executed, others that raised more questions than they answered. Across sectors from financial services to consumer tech, brands made public commitments to new identities, new names, and in some cases, entirely new positioning strategies.
