Happy HHM (or not so happy?)
I don’t know about you, but Hispanic Heritage Month is just kicking off this weekend, and I’m already overdosing on all the social media posts and shallow brand celebrations. As far as I’m concerned it feels quite token for brands to opportunistically “show up” during Hispanic Heritage Month! I’m sure this feeling is shared by my African American and Asian American friends when Black History Month or Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month come around, as well as my friends in the LGBTQ+ community when all the Pride brand activations and campaigns pop up out of nowhere.

The Olympics: A Real-Time Celebration of Unity and Excellence
In a world that seems more divided than ever, there is one event that stands as a beacon of unity and excitement — the Olympics. For brands, it represents the most compelling branding opportunity a brand can want. No other television spectacle can quite compare to the Olympics. Even the Super Bowl, which dominates U.S. viewership annually, doesn't encapsulate the global camaraderie, athletic variety and purity the Olympics offers. It is a bounty of culturally diverse and awe-inspiring stories told over weeks, not just hours. And this time, those hours fall during prime watching hours.

The Upfront Is Dead, Long Live the Upfront
In an era where television was not merely entertainment but a cultural event, the inception of the TV upfronts marked a strategic revolution in advertising. In the 1960s, amid a backdrop in which today's digital sprawl was mere science fiction, upfront negotiations set the stage for an annual symbiotic dance between networks and advertisers. With only three major broadcasters holding the reins to America's visual diet, the competition for ad slots (particularly those in prime time) was fierce. Highly coveted inventory was scarce; securing it early was not just advantageous but imperative.
