OP-ED: THE MOST CREATIVE MINDS IN MARKETING ARE FOCUSED ON THE WRONG THINGS

Young creatives want the big budget TV assignments, yet they're writing for a platform they never watch. Marketers now invest more in social than any other channel and search ranks ahead of TV in media spend. Brands should align incentives, production budgets, and agency structures with where audiences actually spend time instead of treating social as an afterthought. Marketers should build flexible brand systems rather than centering campaigns on a single TV execution, then create content that fits multiple channels from the start. The author also recommends partnering with agencies that move quickly with AI tools and can produce content in-house, which helps brands respond faster and sustain always-on marketing.

LINKEDIN'S LATEST DATA: THE NEW RULES OF B2B TARGETING

B2B marketers need to stop targeting a single decision maker and start building campaigns that help entire buying groups reach consensus. LinkedIn data shows 40% of B2B deals are lost to indecision, while the average buying group includes 10 stakeholders and 94% of buyers now use LLMs during research. Consideration content should focus on addressing perceived risks and objections rather than simply differentiating from competitors. Video is especially effective because it creates shared context across stakeholders and drives a 1.6x higher likelihood of lead form completion. Creative should prioritize specific, problem-focused hooks and authentic, low-production formats that build trust with informed buyers.

WHY HIGH-ROAS CAMPAIGNS DON'T ALWAYS DESERVE MORE BUDGET

More budget does not reliably produce more revenue, and feeding an already-optimized campaign raises costs without incremental gains. Budget changes above roughly 15% on some platforms trigger learning periods and volatility, so incremental week-over-week increases protect performance better than aggressive jumps. When impression share lost to rank exceeds 50%, more budget rarely helps. The strongest case for scaling is a campaign constrained by budget rather than rank, with added spend paired with demand generation.

HOW TO USE THE NEW LIGHTHOUSE REPORT TO SEE IF YOUR WEBSITE IS AGENT READY

Google's new Lighthouse Agentic Browsing report gives you a practical way to assess whether AI agents can discover, understand, and use your website. The report focuses on three areas: accessibility, WebMCP integration, and LLMs.txt support. A strong accessibility tree matters because agents use it to identify key page elements and complete actions, which could influence future recommendations from AI systems. WebMCP helps agents interact with site tools and forms through structured instructions, making it valuable for brands that want AI assistants to use their products or services. LLMs.txt is less important for most sites today, but it can help guide agent behavior and surface key information as websites become more agent-focused.

WHY DO SMALL BRANDS GET BETTER REVIEWS? THE HIDDEN BIAS IN WORD OF MOUTH

Recent research analyzing word-of-mouth data across Yelp, Amazon, Twitter, and Instagram finds that larger companies systematically receive lower online ratings even when product quality is equal. The driver is empathy, since consumers feel a stronger emotional connection to smaller businesses and are more inclined to support them with positive reviews while sharing negatives about big brands. One restaurant comparison illustrates the gap, where a larger chain rated 3.36 stars would be predicted at 4.06 once size is statistically controlled.

WORLD CUP SEO: A LAST-MINUTE GUIDE

Search tactics that drove massive World Cup traffic four years ago may not convert this year, as AI Overviews and richer SERP features have fundamentally changed how fans find information. Top-of-funnel informational queries now get answered directly by AI, so publishers should focus on highly specific tactical breakdowns, political commentary, and investigative angles that demand a human eye. The event will be heavily multimodal, with YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok gaining SERP visibility, making indexable video and structured data essential.
