THE PLATFORM 92% OF SOCIAL MARKETERS CONSIDER A PRIORITY

A survey of social media marketers found that Instagram is still the top priority for most (92%), followed surprisingly by LinkedIn (52%), then TikTok (50%). TikTok is considered the hardest platform to succeed on by 32.5% of respondents, while Instagram's flexibility makes it the top choice if marketers had to pick only one platform. Carousel posts have edged out short-form videos as the best-performing format, with 70.3% rating them highly. Professionally, 51% of respondents feel worse off than last year, and 61% reported budget and resource changes, with 58% seeing cuts. The biggest challenges social media professionals face are lack of time, limited creative support, and leadership that doesn't fully understand social strategy.

HOW KEURIG BREWED A RETURN TO GROWTH

Keurig's GTM strategy originally focused on machine placement to drive high-frequency pod purchases, but it stalled growth due to customer backlash due to excessive DRM restrictions. Under the new CEO, the company shifted from a saturation mindset to segmentation, targeting new usage occasions and environments such as dorms, offices, and small households. Strengthening partner incentives and rethinking pricing also helped rebuild alignment across retail and brand collaborators.

THE LESS PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT AI, THE MORE THEY USE IT

People with low AI literacy are more likely to adopt AI tools because they perceive them as magical. In a global survey of 19,504 people, those with less AI knowledge were 31% more likely to use AI and 29% more likely to describe it as magical. This sense of awe makes them prefer AI for tasks like writing or planning. To increase adoption, companies should highlight the "magic" of AI when targeting non-technical users, but avoid this approach with more technically savvy audiences.

GENERATIONAL MARKETING: WHY MARKETERS SHOULD NOT DISCOUNT AGE IN TODAY'S MEDIA LANDSCAPE

Age remains one of the strongest predictors of media preferences, shaping how different generations engage with platforms, devices, and content formats. While digital adoption is widespread, younger audiences often prioritize short-form, mobile-first experiences, whereas older generations continue to favor linear content, longer formats, and familiar platforms. These behavioral differences reflect deeper contrasts in motivations, such as the desire for discovery versus comfort, or speed versus depth, making age-informed segmentation essential for any campaign.

HOW THE EAGLES ARE TURNING TUSH PUSH DRAMA INTO A MARKETING MASTERCLASS

The Philadelphia Eagles are capitalizing on the NFL's failure to ban the "tush push" by turning it into a marketing campaign and fan rallying point. The team released a $40 "Push On" shirt and launched a wave of social media content, including a 26-minute video of tush push plays. A proposal to outlaw the play fell two votes short, with 22 in favor and 10 against, and only one of the Eagles' 2025 opponents voted to keep it. Retired center Jason Kelce reportedly helped influence the vote. The team has embraced the play as a core part of its identity and branding.
