60-70% OF INFLUENCER BRIEFS NOW FAVOR MID-TIER CREATORS AS BRANDS QUESTION COST OF MEGA INFLUENCERS

Brands are favoring mid-tier creators as engagement and measurable performance matter more than follower count. Creators with 50K–500K followers can deliver lower CPVs, while historical views, watch time, and audience fit increasingly shape pricing decisions. Mega creators still command premiums when they offer mass reach or cultural relevance, but brands are pushing for fees that better reflect expected campaign performance.

WHY I AM BULLISH ON CHATGPT ADS

OpenAI can build an effective ad model if it keeps ads separate from answers and clearly labels them, similar to early Google AdWords. ChatGPT Ads reached $1B in annualized revenue in under 200 days, suggesting strong advertiser demand before the format has fully matured. Running shoes, travel, and price comparisons are especially promising because users now ask ChatGPT to research these commercial decisions instead of using Google.

GREAT PRODUCTS NEED GREAT STORIES

Great products still need strong stories that help people imagine how they fit into everyday life. Lead with the customer experience rather than technical capabilities, and show the human outcome the product enables. VisiCalc gave people a clear reason to buy the Apple II, while Tesla could frame FSD around making long-distance travel less exhausting rather than simply highlighting autonomous driving. Turn complex technology into a relatable vision of what life could look like.

5 SPICY AI MARKETING TAKES

AI is changing marketing without necessarily reducing demand for marketers. Leaner teams may be offset by the growing number of businesses needing distribution. Chat ads could become a major ad format as LLM usage grows. Shared repositories can preserve institutional knowledge and give AI better context. Employee-generated content can extend brand reach through trusted voices. As AI handles more digital interactions, IRL events may become more valuable for creating human connection and closing deals.
