Modelo puts more budget behind college football with a “Tradition” platform
There are few things more reliable than college football rituals: the same group chat lighting up, the same rival friend texting “good luck” (lying), and the same tailgate foods you only make a few Saturdays a year.

AI agent traffic is forcing marketers to rethink retargeting
Marketers are confronting a traffic-quality problem that no longer fits the old human-versus-bot distinction. AI assistants can arrive as useful discovery and shopping intermediaries, while automated bots can imitate the same high-intent behaviors that advertising systems use to identify prospects.
