Performance versus Brand: Can Values Unlock Success in Both?
For years, marketers have wrangled with the balance between brand and performance marketing; between building long-term equity and driving immediate conversions. Which one is more important? While long-term customer relationships are critical, it only matters if your brand has the revenue to move forward today. Too often, this industry conversation is framed as an either-or trade-off.
Latinas in advertising: The untapped powerhouse agencies can’t afford to ignore [REPORT]
As a Latina who has worked in the Hispanic marketing industry for over 20 years, I have spent my career uncovering the potential of our market. And let me be clear—the opportunity is massive. The U.S. Hispanic market represents a $2.7 trillion economic force. Latinos account for 51% of the country’s population growth, and we are one of the most influential and affluent consumer groups. Even more striking? We are young—58% of U.S. Hispanics are under the age of 34.
Winning the Launch
For many marketers, launching a new product is an exciting opportunity that sometimes comes with its own unique set of challenges. The goal isn't just to introduce a new product into the market but help it stand out quickly and effectively in a crowded marketplace.
Advertising Is Being Rebuilt. Independent Agencies Have a Window. Talent Does Too.
Over the past year or so, the advertising and marketing industry has gone through a shift many had seen coming from a mile away. What started as budget tightening quickly turned into something deeper. By now, we all know the headlines - thousands of job cuts, months of steady decline, and an industry-wide pivot that's no longer just reactive.

The soundtrack of summer is bilingual: Why music is your shortcut to the Hispanic heart
It’s not a stretch to say that the sound of summer in the U.S. has a distinct beat, and more often than not, it’s bilingual. From Bad Bunny and Karol G dominating the charts to backyard parties thumping with cumbias and reggaetón, music isn’t just background noise for U.S. Hispanics—it’s the cultural glue of summer.

How to Use AI to Improve Your Campaigns Now
There's so much justifiable teeth-gnashing in our industry these days. Whether it's programmatic campaigns landing on fraudulent or MFA (made for advertising) sites, similar campaigns delivering impressions on wildly objectional sites, as the Adalytics study just revealed, or verification companies somehow being unable to police these campaigns, despite sucking so much revenue from the ecosystem, buyers have a big problem. The really bad news is that publishers have an even worse problem.
Peacetime CEO/Wartime CEO
Recently, Eric Schmidt stepped down as CEO of Google and founder Larry Page took over. Much of the news coverage focused on Page’s ability to be the “face of Google” as Page is far more shy and introverted than the gregarious and articulate Schmidt. While an interesting issue, this analysis misses the main point. Eric Schmidt was much more than Google’s front man; as Google’s peacetime Chief Executive, he led the greatest technology business expansion in the last ten years. Larry Page, in contrast, seems to have determined that Google is moving into war and he clearly intends to be a wartime CEO. This will be a profound change for Google and the entire high-tech industry. By Ben Horowitz
Mastering the Art of Marketing Measurement
Measuring ad effectiveness is both more critical and more complicated than ever. Advertisers are expected to prove the value of their media spend across multiple channels while navigating a complex ecosystem that is increasingly privacy-conscious and fragmented. Gone are the days when simple tracking through cookies or last-click attribution could provide basic insights. Instead, brands now rely on three major measurement approaches: media mix modeling (MMM), multi-touch attribution (MTA), and lift studies.
