21 FACTS ABOUT THROWING GOOD PARTIES

The best B2B events feel like great parties rather than nonstop sales pitches. Keep leadership relaxed so they can connect with guests. Invite clusters of attendees who know each other and overbook strategically to account for no-shows. Encourage movement with standing areas, food, and drinks spread out. Train your team to host and introduce, not sell. Treat events as a service to the community. People remember the experience and make connections that pay off later.

THE ECONOMICS OF A SUPER BOWL AD

Ro's CEO breaks down why a Super Bowl ad can make economic sense despite a $233K per second price tag. His argument centers on attention density, with more than 100M viewers actively watching ads, compressing years of brand awareness into one night. He frames the risk as capped within a large marketing portfolio, while upside comes from improved CAC and downstream efficiency across search, social, TV, and OOH. The math shows that even a 1% to 3% lift in future marketing efficiency can justify an eight-figure spend over 12 months.

TESTING COMPETITOR SABOTAGE IN AI RESPONSES

Negative GEO is possible because some AI models will surface false negative claims if that content appears on discoverable third-party websites. In a controlled test using a fake persona and 10 established sites, only 2 of 11 models cited the planted content after several weeks. Perplexity included the negative allegations and treated site citations as enough support, even without mainstream sources. ChatGPT referenced the same sites but flagged credibility issues and noted the lack of corroboration from trusted outlets. Results show that model trust checks and source authority strongly affect whether damaging claims appear in AI answers. This tactic does not scale easily across most models.
