  • Dmitry Rudenko: 165 million views taught him to stop trusting his own taste

    Dmitry Rudenko made an AI-generated Reel about a chef in Sicily. He thought it was charming. Almost nobody watched it. The day after, he made a Reel of a couple sitting on a couch, borrowed loosely from another creator’s idea. He didn’t think much of it going in. It became the video that changed how…

  • Your content distribution strategy needs a dependency map, not a channel list

    Most content distribution strategies are still organized as channel lists. Search. LinkedIn. Email. Paid social. Creator partners. Syndication. The list looks diversified because the logos are different. But the logos can hide the same underlying risk. A search program may depend on Google rankings, AI Overview citations, crawling rules, and paid-search economics at the same…

  • Fractl tests what makes AI recommend a brand

    Fractl has published two connected studies that challenge a comfortable assumption about AI visibility: getting into an answer is not the same as being trusted by the model producing it. Its controlled experiment shows how strongly recommendation systems follow retrieved sources, while its real-world analysis maps the much broader field of brands and publishers that…

  • Liverpool FC leads Europe’s clubs on cultural relevance at 31%

    Football fandom rarely stays inside 90 minutes.

  • Cadbury turns a chocolate clutch into a New York Fashion Week moment

    Fashion Week is usually where brands fight for attention through clothes, celebrity sightings and spectacle. Cadbury is entering that environment with something much smaller and stranger: a crystal-covered clutch designed to carry chocolate. The limited-edition Cadbury Clutch is part of the chocolate brand’s new “There’s Magic in More” platform, its largest U.S. campaign to date.…

  • Firmable finds sales data is not ready for AI agents

    Firmable has found a sharp divide between how widely B2B sellers use AI and how few believe their revenue systems are ready for agents to act independently. Its agent-ready revenue team survey shifts the conversation from access to AI toward the quality of the data, workflows, and accountability underneath it. That distinction matters for marketers…

  • Standard Chartered puts AI into regional wealth campaign decisions

  • SERP features in 2026: what still sends clicks alongside AI Overviews

    Search results used to be easy to describe: a ranked list of links, with the top position getting the most attention. In 2026, that model is incomplete. A Google results page can mix AI Overviews, featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, maps, shopping results, images, videos, knowledge panels and sitelinks before a user reaches a…

  • Publishers now spend $113M a month buying search traffic

    Publishers are increasingly paying for the search visibility they once expected to earn organically. The latest evidence puts a concrete price on that shift, with large media companies sharply increasing paid-search budgets as organic referrals weaken and more search journeys end on the results page itself. The pattern matters beyond publishing. Brands face the same…
