HOW DITCHING PRIDE NOW COULD HURT BRANDS LATER

Some brands that once actively supported the LGBTQ+ community have scaled back their Pride efforts due to political pressure. Target, once a leader in Pride merchandising and sponsorship, has faced backlash for quietly retreating from its DEI commitments. This has prompted organizations like Twin Cities Pride to reject its support. Experts warn that while any brand can return to the space, doing so after pulling back may come across as inauthentic.

WEBSITES WITH MORE ORGANIC SEARCH TRAFFIC GET MENTIONED MORE IN AI SEARCH

Websites with higher organic search traffic are more frequently mentioned in AI search systems. Perplexity showed the strongest correlation (0.66), followed by Google AI Overviews (0.47), and ChatGPT (0.33). Perplexity's results closely mirror traditional search, while ChatGPT's data is heavily skewed by Wikipedia, which appears in 16.3% of its mentions. Google AI Overviews favor UGC like YouTube, Reddit, and Quora and under-represent social media platforms. Corporate and entertainment sites receive less visibility across all systems compared to their performance in traditional search.

AN AI VIDEO AD IS MAKING A SPLASH. IS IT THE FUTURE OF ADVERTISING?

Kalshi, a prediction market platform, released a viral AI-generated ad during the NBA Finals that cost under $2K and was made in just two days. Creator P.J. Accetturo used Kalshi's ideas and dialogue to build a script with ChatGPT, then generated scenes with Google's Veo 3, refining prompts until he had 15 usable clips from 300-400 generations. He stitched the footage together with editing software and added music. The ad's bizarre, meme-style tone helped it reach over 3M views.

RETAIL MEDIA'S GROWING PAINS: HOW TO PUSH FOR TRANSPARENCY BEFORE THE BUBBLE BURSTS

Retail media is growing fast but is plagued by poor transparency, inflated metrics, and uneven data access. ROAS and “new-to-brand” stats often misrepresent actual impact, with platforms claiming credit for sales that would have occurred anyway. Brands risk overspending, especially in off-site campaigns that rely on vague lookalike audiences and come with steep management fees. Choosing between direct retailer platforms and agnostic marketplaces depends on scale, negotiating power, and data needs.

WHY DO INVESTORS CARE ABOUT LTV TO CAC SO MUCH?

Investors focus on the LTV to CAC ratio because it reflects sales and marketing efficiency, which directly impacts company valuation. A higher ratio means more profit per customer acquisition dollar, enabling growth investment and leading to higher valuation multiples. For example, a 3X LTV to CAC can triple valuation compared to 2X. Adjusted by gross margin, it fairly compares sectors. Though complex for daily use, breaking it down internally helps improve value.
