WHY 2026 MUST BE THE YEAR BRANDS BET ON THEIR OWN TEAMS

More brands are building in-house agencies as strategic assets rather than cost-saving experiments. Nearly 9 in 10 now operate internal creative teams. However, many remain underpowered because they are treated as executional support rather than full partners. Without clear operating models, proximity to the brand goes to waste. Investing in culture and empowerment allows these teams to perform at their best.

5 WEBINAR TIPS TO INCREASE REGISTRATIONS AND ATTENDANCE RATES

To increase show-up rates, send an email within 4 hours of the event. Test whether using “tomorrow” or the actual day in the subject line performs better. Include a bracket at the start of the subject, such as (Today!) or (Going live in 1 hour), to signal urgency. Replace the word “webinar” with alternatives like live event, digital workshop, insider session, or live panel to make the invitation feel more engaging.

HOW TO MINE GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE FOR CONVERSATION DATA

Google Search Console (GSC) can surface long conversational queries that look like AI prompts, which gives marketers a practical data source for prompt tracking even though LLM platforms like OpenAI and Google do not fully share prompt data. Some AI-related queries and AI Mode data appear in GSC, and impressions have risen over the last three months during AI feature rollouts. Use a regex filter for queries that contain 10 or more words to identify prompt-style searches that often read like detailed questions or tasks. Export these queries and analyze them in tools like Claude to uncover customer concerns, brand comparisons, price sensitivity, and recurring reputation topics.

PERPLEXITY PULLING SPONSORED ANSWERS FROM AI PLATFORM

Perplexity is phasing out sponsored answers, stepping back from one of the earliest experiments in chatbot advertising. Executives said even clearly labeled ads risk undermining user trust, which is critical to driving subscriptions and repeat usage. The move contrasts with rivals like OpenAI and Google, which are testing ads within AI responses to offset rising infrastructure costs. As AI adoption surpasses 60% among US adults, platforms are diverging on whether long-term revenue should come from ads, enterprise contracts, or paid tiers.

TRUSTWORTHY A/B PATTERNS AND THE WINNER'S CURSE: LESSONS FROM SEVEN LARGE-SCALE REPLICATIONS

Large-scale replications show that popular A/B test patterns often produce much smaller gains than earlier reports suggest, and most reported large lifts come from underpowered studies. Even very large experiments often lack enough power for core metrics like revenue-per-user and purchase rate, so teams often must rely on surrogate metrics like click rate and add-to-cart rate. Real-world results from companies such as Bing, Amazon, and Talabat show that typical trustworthy lifts are often below 1%, not the double-digit gains seen in case libraries. The evidence supports that low-power tests below 50% power create exaggerated winners and frequent false positives, which explains why many published pattern wins fail to replicate at scale.

SOMETHING MESSY IS HAPPENING: ON AI, PANIC, AND ASKING BETTER QUESTIONS

This article challenges viral predictions that AI will eliminate half of white-collar jobs within 5 years. It argues that capability does not equal immediate displacement and that adoption depends on regulation and human behavior. While AI can generate copy and surface data faster, it cannot replace human judgment around audience nuance or brand risk in volatile moments. The takeaway is to integrate AI into existing workflows thoughtfully rather than restructuring careers or teams around fear-driven forecasts.

NOT EVERY GREAT PMM SHOULD MANAGE PEOPLE

Promoting a top IC into management often fails because expanding scope and managing people are separate decisions. ICs excel through personal ownership and execution, while managers succeed by coaching and enabling teams to deliver without them. The true signal is lift, whether those around them improve, not individual performance. Management should not be treated as the default next step. Career paths should reward influence and ownership, not just headcount.
