BRANDS ARE ALL IN ON CREATORS. MEANWHILE IN REALITY, THE ECONOMICS CRASH

US brand spend on influencer marketing keeps climbing, but the industry's own numbers are questionable. Its $5.78 return per $1 spent is earned media value, not real revenue, based on estimated impressions and rate cards. A third of followers on the average creator account show signs of being fake or purchased, while more than half of creators earn under $15,000 a year. As brands shift toward nano-creators, Americans are also posting less than they did five years ago. What's left is a reach channel, not the trust economy it promised.

SPOTIFY'S NEW ‘SKIP' BUTTON COULD END THE PODCAST BUSINESS AS WE KNOW IT

Spotify is testing a feature that lets some Premium users skip podcast ads, promotions, and filler, raising concerns among publishers that rely on direct-sold ads. The move could weaken podcast ad revenue as audiences increasingly shift toward YouTube and video. Spotify says the feature could keep listeners engaged longer, but publishers worry that easier ad skipping could make their inventory less valuable.

EMOTION-LED ADS CUT COSTS 30%

A hop-infused tea brand initially focused its ads on being non-alcoholic, but customer research showed that belonging mattered more. It reframed the messaging around keeping the taste and social experience of beer without alcohol, lowering acquisition costs by 30% in two weeks. The approach also challenges excessive personalization, which can raise ad costs by narrowing audiences around individual profiles instead of broader emotional motivations.

HOW TO GROW YOUR AI VISIBILITY WITH COMMUNITY SIGNALS

Community platforms act as a foundation for AI visibility across the funnel. Reddit, Wikipedia, and LinkedIn account for 99% of UGC citations in SaaS-related ChatGPT answers, while UGC sites hold 15-18% of non-vendor cited domains throughout the journey, more than 4X publishers' 4% share. Named authors and reps also tend to outperform brand accounts because communities treat people as participants rather than advertisers.

HOW TO RUN CHATGPT ADS: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FROM EARLY CAMPAIGNS

ChatGPT Ads are still early, so advertisers need to approach them as a testing ground. Start by confirming eligibility and setting up your account, then build campaigns and use context hints to reach relevant conversations instead of relying on keywords. Create your ads and install conversion tracking before launch. Once live, focus on testing creative and campaign structure since reporting offers limited insight into which conversations drive performance.

MRBEAST HIRED A HEAD OF TIKTOK. THE STRATEGY IS ALREADY PRODUCING RECORDS

Platform-specific creative teams could become the next stage of social strategy. MrBeast created a dedicated TikTok team led by a Head of TikTok and specialized creative talent to develop content for the platform. One of its first successes was a simple dance video that became TikTok's most reposted video ever. The result shows how content built for a specific platform can outperform content adapted from other channels, even with simpler production.

HOW THREE PRODUCT MARKETING LEADERS SET UP THEIR AI WORKFLOWS

AI workflows work best when they're built around how a company actually works, not copied from generic Skills or prompts. Three PMM leaders use connectors, reusable Skills, and company context in different ways. Mara Taylor uses AI to cut context switching, Natalie Marcotullio systematizes recurring marketing work, and Mike Hetrick builds guardrails for quality. Start with a repeatable task, test it on real work, add human checks, then refine it.
