An agency marketing machine is a structured, repeatable system for generating awareness, building credibility, and converting prospects into clients, without relying on the founder’s rolodex or a lucky referral at the right moment. Most agencies don’t have one. They have a website, a LinkedIn page they post to occasionally, and a sales process that kicks…
Walmart Media Network, now branded as Walmart Connect, is a retail media platform that gives advertisers access to Walmart’s owned properties, including its website, app, in-store screens, and off-site placements powered by Walmart’s first-party shopper data. It sits alongside Amazon Advertising and Kroger Precision Marketing as one of the few retail media networks with the…
Brandcast is YouTube’s annual upfront presentation, staged for advertisers and media buyers, where Google pitches the platform’s reach, creator ecosystem, and ad products ahead of the buying season. It is, in simple terms, YouTube’s answer to the television upfront, adapted for a streaming-first world where the audience has largely already moved. But Brandcast is also…
A campaign measurement framework is a structured system that defines what you will measure, how you will measure it, and what the results actually mean for the business, before a single pound or dollar is spent. Without one, you are not measuring a campaign. You are collecting data and calling it measurement. Most marketing teams…
Mobile marketing challenges are not always dramatic. They rarely announce themselves. More often, they show up as campaigns that underperform despite solid creative, attribution models that look clean but tell you almost nothing useful, and audiences who technically received your message but never engaged with it. The gap between mobile’s promise and mobile’s reality is…
The Share a Coke campaign is one of the most studied examples of personalisation at scale in marketing history. Launched in Australia in 2011, it replaced the Coca-Cola logo on bottles with 150 popular names, turning a commodity product into something that felt personal, and drove measurable sales growth in a market that had been…
Publicis Groupe has spent the better part of a decade acquiring its way into a structurally different business. The acquisitions of Sapient, Epsilon, Publicis.Sapient, and more recently Influential and Mars United Commerce are not isolated deals. They represent a deliberate, sustained bet that the future of the holding company sits at the intersection of data…
The Burger King rebrand launched in 2021 is one of the more instructive brand repositioning exercises of the past decade. It returned the chain to a visual identity rooted in its 1969 to 1999 heritage, stripped out the aggressive chrome-and-blue modernism of the 2000s era, and signalled a clear strategic intent: stop chasing McDonald’s on…
Ad measurement companies sell the promise of clarity: spend money here, get results there. In practice, most of them measure a proxy of performance rather than performance itself. Understanding what these platforms actually track, where their methodologies diverge, and what questions they still cannot answer is more useful than any vendor comparison chart. The market…
Peloton has cycled through more chief marketing officers than most companies cycle through brand campaigns. Since its peak in 2021, the company has seen multiple senior marketing leaders come and go, each inheriting a different version of the same fundamental problem: a product category that exploded during a pandemic and then had to find a…
