As Marketers Experiment with Gen AI, New Applications Emerge
The emergence of generative AI is the defining feature of 2023 and 2024, in both a broad cultural context as well as within the world of data-driven marketing.

The Olympics: A Real-Time Celebration of Unity and Excellence

For brands, it represents the most compelling branding opportunity a brand can want. No other television spectacle can quite compare to the Olympics.
