HOW A 180-YEAR-OLD NEWS INSTITUTION PREPARES FOR ITS NEXT REINVENTION

The Associated Press is turning 180 years of journalism into a data business, deconstructing its reporting into structured and unstructured data sold to other industries alongside its traditional news distribution. The shift runs alongside a deliberately short AI licensing strategy, one-to-three-year deals built on protecting journalists' intellectual property and securing fair value as models train on AP content. Newspapers, once AP's dominant customer base, now generate under 10% of its revenue, with data licensing and diversified income filling the rest.

ADVERTISING WORKS DIFFERENTLY FOR MILLENNIALS AND GENERATION Z

Millennials show higher advertising recall than Generation Z across nearly every channel, digital and traditional alike, from a 30-point gap on television, 56% vs. 26%, to smaller but consistent gaps on social media, search, and streaming video. The exception is video games, where recall is nearly identical between the two generations. Gen Z's lower recall tracks lower overall media consumption, but the generation is more responsive to influencer-driven purchases than Millennials, 39% vs. 34%.

NAIL PROFIT BEFORE SITE EXTRAS, OWNER SAYS

Focus first on profitability before adding advanced features to your e-commerce website. Reduce returns, improve customer service, and build a shipping model that works before investing in AI tools or extra apps. Design every product and collection page as a landing page because visitors often arrive from ads, social posts, or other links instead of the home page. A 15 to 30 second product video can increase conversions, and fast-loading MP4 videos with clear audio create a better brand experience than GIFs or poor-quality video.

HOW DO I MEASURE THE PIPELINE CONTRIBUTION OF PAID MEDIA?

Connect paid media to the CRM before launching campaigns so every optimization ties back to pipeline instead of platform metrics. Use multi-touch attribution, causal modeling, and incrementality testing together because each method fills gaps the others miss and gives a more reliable view of channel performance. Report results in business metrics such as contribution margin, LTV to CAC, payback period, cost per first meeting, and cost per pipeline dollar because those numbers align marketing with finance. Companies that optimized for pipeline instead of clicks cut cost per MQL by 27%, increased conversion rate by 18%, and improved ROAS by 138%.

WHAT A FORMER TIKTOK SHOP MANAGER LEARNED FROM $14M IN LIVE SALES

TikTok Shop expert Jason Termechi analyzed $14M+ in live sales and found most brands go live before building the foundation needed to convert. He recommends establishing TikTok Shop sales history first, then optimizing broadcasts with metrics like GPM, tap-through rate, watch time, and click-to-order rate. His playbook includes flash sales, weeks of pre-promotion, rotating hosts, and real-time adjustments to improve engagement and sales.

WHY SEARCH ROAS DEPENDS ON PAID SOCIAL MORE THAN YOU THINK

Search ROAS often looks strong only because paid social is running alongside it, generating brand awareness that later surfaces as branded search queries search then gets credited for capturing. Last-click attribution can't see social impressions that never converted directly, creating a structural bias where search inherits demand it didn't create. The effect is delayed by four to eight weeks, so teams that cut social based on isolated ROAS comparisons often see search CPAs climb months later without connecting the two. Geo holdout tests and brand search volume tracking are the more reliable way to measure the actual cross-channel effect.
