The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 wasn't just about the finalists; it was also a tournament of home hopes, historic milestones, emerging Associate nations, and valuable lessons for teams at different stages of their journey.In Episode 353 of Never on the Backfoot, Janani of Sportsy Mathsy Tales fame joins in as we review the campaigns of England, the Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland, four teams whose World Cups told vastly different stories.We begin with hosts England, who reached the final under Nat Sciver-Brunt but ultimately fell short against a dominant Australian side. We discuss whether reaching the final represents progress, the performances that defined their campaign, the impact of home conditions, and what England must do to bridge the gap to the world's best.We then turn our attention to the Netherlands, whose maiden Women's T20 World Cup appearance was about far more than simply participating. We explore how the Dutch proved they belonged on the biggest stage, the players who caught the eye, and what this experience means for the future of women's cricket in the Netherlands.Ireland's campaign produced a landmark moment with their first-ever Women's T20 World Cup victory, while also showcasing a young side capable of competing against Full Member nations. We analyse the positives, the areas that still need work, and why regular international cricket will be crucial to their continued growth.Finally, we look at Scotland, another team that created history with a memorable World Cup win and demonstrated that Associate nations are becoming increasingly competitive. From Kathryn Bryce's inspirational leadership to the team's encouraging performances, we discuss why Scotland leaves the tournament with genuine optimism for the future.

As brands try to make their campaign dollars stretch farther, they're looking to culturally resonant marketing that creates engagement—comments, likes and shares—and results in sales gains. Calvin Klein's Spring 2026 campaign with actress Dakota Johnson is an example of how the clothing brand is using content to 'game the algorithm,' according to Jonathan Bottomley, global chief marketing officer of Calvin Klein and executive VP, group consumer and brand strategy at parent company PVH Corp. Not only did the provocative campaign attract 26 million views on Instagram, but it also helped create a single-digit increase in women's underwear sales and a double-digit increase in women's denim sales, Bottomley said, noting that 30% of Calvin Klein's audience is actively engaged on Instagram. By cultivating such engagement on social media, the brand is building a sense of virality, he said. On the podcast, Bottomley also discusses the role of community and product-led marketing, as well as how Calvin Klein is evolving its brand messaging to connect with Gen Z consumers.

The biggest problem with most ABM programs isn't execution, it's that they try to personalize at scale before they truly understand their buyers.Everyone wants the results of account-based marketing. Few organizations build the foundation required to make it work.In this episode, Carolyn sits down with Steve Armenti, former ABM leader at Google and founder of Twelfth Agency, to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions in modern B2B marketing.Together they explore why high-volume personalization is becoming less effective, why AI can't replace strategy, and why the highest-performing GTM teams build what Steve calls a "market of one", a deep understanding of every target account before scaling outreach.You'll learn:Why most ABM programs never create real demandThe hidden flaw in high-volume personalizationWhy AI amplifies strategy instead of replacing itHow leading GTM teams build a 360° account viewThe "market of one" framework for modern B2B growthIf your ABM strategy isn't producing the pipeline you expected, this episode may change what you believe the real problem is.-----------------------------------------------------The difference between guessing and knowing is almost always hiding in the data you already have.In less than 30 days, Passetto builds the marketing measurement system that gives marketing leaders continuous visibility into what's driving pipeline and revenue—and the evidence to confidently make and defend their next investment decision.

In this special live-audience episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, Hugh Ballou welcomes longtime fundraising professional Bob Hopkins for a practical conversation about annual campaigns, donor relationships, and the art of asking for support. Drawing on more than four decades of experience in philanthropy, Bob explains why individual donors remain essential to nonprofit sustainability. His central principle is simple: people give to people. Successful fundraising begins long before the request is made, through genuine relationships, careful listening, consistent communication, and a clear understanding of what matters to each potential supporter. Bob defines an annual campaign as an organized, multi-month process rather than a single event or one-time appeal. He describes a typical fall sequence: introduce the campaign in September, make the formal request in October, follow up and collect gifts in November, and celebrate and thank supporters in December. The purpose is to build predictable support for the coming year and establish an annual rhythm that donors come to recognize. The conversation also addresses the importance of preparing a focused contact list, maintaining a clean and current database, involving board members and volunteers, and communicating the results donors can help achieve. Bob emphasizes that organizations do not need thousands of names to begin. A smaller list of people with authentic relationships can be more valuable than a large list of disconnected contacts. Throughout the episode, Bob encourages nonprofit leaders to listen more than they speak, learn about a donor's interests, and connect the mission to those interests before making an invitation. He also reminds leaders that fundraising should never be treated as the work of one person. Strong annual campaigns engage a team of people who can reach out through their own relationships. The episode offers an accessible starting point for nonprofit executives, board members, development professionals, and emerging leaders who want to replace reactive fundraising with a thoughtful, relational, and repeatable annual campaign. ·       People give to people, so trust and relationship come before the ask. ·       An annual campaign is a planned process, not a single event or email. ·       A smaller list of genuine relationships can be more effective than a large, impersonal database. ·       Listening helps leaders understand what potential donors care about and how the mission connects with their values. ·       Boards and volunteers should participate in fundraising through their own relationships. ·       Consistent communication, follow-up, gratitude, and celebration are essential parts of the campaign. ·       Annual campaigns help organizations build more predictable support for the year ahead. “People give to people.” Key TakeawaysClosing Principle Learn more about your ad choices.

In Episode 352 of Never on the Backfoot, we shift our focus to three fascinating campaigns—Australia, Bangladesh and New Zealand, each of which offered a very different story.Australia once again proved why they remain the gold standard in women's cricket, successfully ushering in a new era under Sophie Molineux while claiming a record-extending seventh T20 World Cup title. We discuss the seamless transition in leadership, the depth of their squad, Beth Mooney's remarkable consistency, and whether this team has already laid the foundation for another period of dominance.We then turn our attention to Bangladesh, a side that showed encouraging signs despite another early exit. From the continued rise of Marufa Akter to the promise of their spin attack, we explore the positives, the persistent batting challenges, and what Bangladesh need to bridge the gap with the world's leading teams.Finally, we analyse New Zealand's disappointing title defence. After lifting the trophy in 2024, the White Ferns struggled to replicate that success, prompting important conversations around batting inconsistency, leadership, succession planning, and the end of a golden generation, with stalwarts Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu bidding farewell to international cricket.Join us as we unpack the biggest talking points, standout performers, defining moments, key tactical lessons and what lies ahead for each of these teams as the next ICC cycle begins.

Episode 207: Feedback loops, optimizing campaigns, and leading with Dustin Jackson by IT Labs

From the hypocrisy files from the far left: Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz bankrolled $480 million activist crusade that's made your bacon and eggs pricier.

Host: Nadia Cameron, Publisher | Editor – Marketing This year’s CMO Awards again set out to recognise marketing teams driving strategic growth for their organisations with our Best Growth Initiative of the Year Award, presented by Publicis Groupe. Our 2026 winner? A driving test from the Suncorp team that set out to change behaviour and instill safer driving practices across Australian consumers, thereby combatting a 42 per cent rise in motor claim costs and 22 per cent lift in national fatalities. The AAMI Driving test not only achieved this ambition – so far, it’s reduced annual insurance claims by $4.2 million, 9 per cent above target – it also lifted brand consideration and engagement for the iconic red brand across customers and non-customers alike. And while it wasn’t the objective, it’s now expected to bring in $1.9m in premium revenue generated. “Too often, growth is approached as a marketing or sales problem, focused on immediate volume, reach or conversion. The AAMI Driving Test reinforced that real growth really came from solving a meaningful business problem,” says AAMI head of brand and content, Rapthi Thanapalasingam. “By focusing on prevention first, we unlocked growth outcomes as a byproduct, including stronger engagement, brand consideration, and that premium revenue. “Campaigns end, but capabilities compound. The biggest value came from us building an asset using our telematics and data capability that can continue creating value long after the campaign is over.” In a similar vein, this year’s Highly Commended growth initiative, Wesfarmers Health’s ‘Anything Menopause’ program, developed in response to a clear and urgent consumer, commercial and societal gap. Over 3 million Australian women experience menopause, with 85 per cent reporting symptoms. Despite this prevalence, stigma and confusion persist. Market analysis identified a $667 million menopause category, with at least one-third of that effectively unserved. Priceline’s response has been an end-to-end menopause care platform. Grounded in education and empowerment, the key was firstly knowledge uplift across pharmacists, says GM of marketing, Corrina Brazel. Across 3500 frontline staff, Wesfarmers has already seen a 35 per cent jump in confidence in staff discussing menopause with customers as a result. The commercial gains also ensued, including a 63 per cent increase in dispensary sales, 6 per cent increase in penetration with the core target demographic of women between 45 to 65 years of age, and 13-point increase with standard Priceline shoppers. “Given the topic at hand around menopause, if we’d just been chasing purely a transactional play, that could have gone very badly for us from a brand and reputation point of view. Because the real opportunity would have been completely missed,” comments Brazel. For Brazel, it’s also creating new confidence inside the marketing team. “What ‘Anything Menopause’ has done for the marketing team is built a real level of capability and awareness and strength of conviction that I don't know they previously necessarily thought they had,” she says. “It's built a bit of a muscle we're now going to continue to use as we see what other platforms we may be able to get out there to drive more growth.” For Growth Initiative judge and former V2 Foods chief growth officer, Andrew May, the two examples stand out because they don’t talk to standard campaign metrics and come from a position of behaviour change. “It was really about where do they show broader business alignment, better capability, stronger customer experience, margins or reduced costs,” he says. “The growth isn't just coming from marketing alone. Marketing is, and always has been, a growth engine for strong businesses. Seeing where we can impact other areas is critical.” Tune into this latest CMO Awards podcast as we unpack the nature of unlocking and pursuing these AAMI and Wesfarmers Health growth opportunities, and importantly, how it’s paying off.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former CIA Targeting Officer Sarah Adams reveals what she believes are some of the biggest national security threats facing the United States today, and why many Americans may have a false sense of security about the future.In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Sarah explains why the U.S. could be more vulnerable to terrorist attacks than many realize, whether the U.S. is currently facing an active terrorist threat, and how the same types of intelligence disconnects that contributed to 9/11 could still exist today. She breaks down why we need to rethink what a future homeland attack might actually look like, how terrorist organizations are evolving, and why groups like Al Qaeda may be more widespread than ever.Sarah shares shocking insights into sleeper cells operating within the U.S., foreign actors intentionally fueling political division to increase influence, the strategic relationship between Al Qaeda, Iran, and Syria, and why many terrorist groups are now organized around waves of coordinated attacks.She also discusses emerging security concerns, including airport vulnerabilities, the return of threats similar to the Shoe Bomb and the rise of "invisible" bombs, and what she believes went wrong from a security standpoint during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting incident.Drawing from years spent targeting some of the world's most dangerous terrorists, Sarah recounts how she helped capture the Taliban's number two leader, the intelligence work that made it possible, and what qualities allowed her to gather critical information in some of the most hostile environments on Earth.We also explore intelligence deception campaigns, how disinformation operations work, and the warning signs people should recognize when evaluating information online.Sarah reveals what it was like to interrogate Middle Eastern male detainees as a Western woman, how individuals become radicalized, and the indoctrination systems inside terrorist camps that determine whether recruits become fighters, suicide bombers, propagandists, or support personnel.She explains how corruption within humanitarian systems can allow resources to be diverted toward terrorist organizations and how ordinary people may unknowingly contribute to funding foreign terrorist camps.We also break downHavana Syndrome, alleged energy weapon incidents, reports involving an investigator connected to the Epstein case, and what is currently known (and still unknown) about these controversial claims.Sarah also discusses the role of social media algorithms in radicalization, whether platforms like TikTok are shaping the opinions of younger generations, and the broader information war being fought online.She opens up about living under a bounty, receiving threats from terrorist organizations, dealing with alleged surveillance around her home, and how she manages the psychological stress that comes with being a target. She shares practical advice on disaster preparedness, what average citizens can do to become more resilient during crises, and why the culture of terrorism has far more to do with ideology, power, and human behavior than religion itself.This conversation will challenge the way you think about terrorism, national security, online influence, and the risks that could define the next decade!Sarah Adam's Podcast, The Watch Floor: https://www.youtube.com/@thewatchfloorSarah Adams' Book, Benghazi, Know Thy Enemy: A Cold Case Investigation: https://a.co/d/09aeb3tGFollow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She breaks down why we need to rethink what a future homeland attack might actually look like, how terrorist organizations are evolving, and why groups like Al Qaeda may be more widespread than ever.Sarah shares shocking insights into sleeper cells operating within the U.S., foreign actors intentionally fueling political division to increase influence, the strategic relationship between Al Qaeda, Iran, and Syria, and why many terrorist groups are now organized around waves of coordinated attacks.She also discusses emerging security concerns, including airport vulnerabilities, the return of threats similar to the Shoe Bomb and the rise of "invisible" bombs, and what she believes went wrong from a security standpoint during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting incident.Drawing from years spent targeting some of the world's most dangerous terrorists, Sarah recounts how she helped capture the Taliban's number two leader, the intelligence work that made it possible, and what qualities allowed her to gather critical information in some of the most hostile environments on Earth.We also explore intelligence deception campaigns, how disinformation operations work, and the warning signs people should recognize when evaluating information online.Sarah reveals what it was like to interrogate Middle Eastern male detainees as a Western woman, how individuals become radicalized, and the indoctrination systems inside terrorist camps that determine whether recruits become fighters, suicide bombers, propagandists, or support personnel.She explains how corruption within humanitarian systems can allow resources to be diverted toward terrorist organizations and how ordinary people may unknowingly contribute to funding foreign terrorist camps.We also break downHavana Syndrome, alleged energy weapon incidents, reports involving an investigator connected to the Epstein case, and what is currently known (and still unknown) about these controversial claims.Sarah also discusses the role of social media algorithms in radicalization, whether platforms like TikTok are shaping the opinions of younger generations, and the broader information war being fought online.She opens up about living under a bounty, receiving threats from terrorist organizations, dealing with alleged surveillance around her home, and how she manages the psychological stress that comes with being a target. She shares practical advice on disaster preparedness, what average citizens can do to become more resilient during crises, and why the culture of terrorism has far more to do with ideology, power, and human behavior than religion itself.This conversation will challenge the way you think about terrorism, national security, online influence, and the risks that could define the next decade!Every self-made person started somewhere.

In this episode, we unpack the lawsuit against prediction market platform Polymarket, which accuses the company of orchestrating undisclosed influencer campaigns, promoting simulated betting videos that appeared to show real winnings, and using viral “clipping” tactics designed to make paid content look organic. The case serves as a timely reminder that, even as FTC enforcement priorities evolve, consumer groups and private plaintiffs are increasingly stepping in to police influencer marketing practices. For brands working with creators, the message is clear: transparent disclosures, authentic content, and compliance with endorsement rules remain essential to avoiding legal and reputational risk.

Smarter Ecommerce Promotions with RevlifterKey takeaways:Blanket discounting often reduces profitability and can negatively affect customer experience.Intent-based personalisation enables retailers to engage shoppers with more relevant messages at the right moment.Personalisation isn't only about promotion; it can also support education, reassurance and product discovery.Smarter popup strategies can increase conversions while significantly reducing unnecessary discounts.Premium brands can use behavioural targeting to improve customer experience without relying on discounts.Creative gamification offers opportunities to increase engagement beyond traditional prize wheels.Measuring incrementality through robust testing is essential for understanding the true commercial impact of personalisation.Granular A/B testing and audience segmentation help retailers continuously optimise campaigns and maximise performance.In this episode, we explore how ecommerce brands can move beyond blanket discounting to deliver more relevant, profitable customer experiences. The conversation focuses on why traditional promotional strategies often frustrate shoppers, how intent-based personalisation is changing the way retailers engage customers and how brands can measure the true impact of their campaigns.Our guest is Dan Bond from Revlifter. Revlifter's technology helps retailers personalise onsite marketing campaigns based on real-time customer intent rather than relying on broad promotional tactics.A key theme throughout the episode is the downside of poorly targeted promotions. Irrelevant offers can damage trust and create frustration; for example, when loyal customers are excluded from incentives designed only for new shoppers.We cover (rant about) the common mistakes retailers make, the commercial impact of those decisions and why brands need to create more intelligent promotional strategies.We also discuss the growing importance of customer intent signals. Instead of treating every visitor the same, Dan explains how retailers can identify whether a shopper is actively ready to purchase or still in the discovery phase, allowing brands to tailor messaging and offers accordingly.Moving beyond discounts, the discussion highlights how intent scoring can also power non-promotional experiences, such as providing buying guidance, product advice and reassurance during more complex purchasing journeys. This demonstrates how personalisation can improve customer experience without sacrificing margin.Dan shares a real-world success story from Sportshoes. Discover how a refined popup strategy delivered a 7% uplift in conversions while suppressing more than 2,000 unnecessary discounts, resulting in savings of approximately £25,000. Our attention then turns to premium brands, where discounting is often less appropriate. Using examples such as Radley, we discuss how exit-intent campaigns can be used across product listing pages, product pages and the cart to deliver value through personalised messaging, product recommendations or reassurance rather than price reductions.Another topic is gamification, challenging the assumption that engagement begins and ends with the familiar "spin-to-win" mechanic. The discussion explores alternative campaign formats and creative approaches that ecommerce teams can test to increase engagement and conversion while maintaining brand value.

Google Ads are one of those things businesses often think are all about budgets and keywords, when in reality, success comes from the systems behind the campaign.In this episode of Uncomplicate It, I sit down with John Horn, CEO of StubGroup, to talk about what actually makes Google Ads profitable and why so many businesses spend money without seeing meaningful results.John shares why great advertising starts long before someone clicks an ad. From landing pages and conversion tracking to AI, compliance, and campaign strategy, he explains how every piece of the customer journey influences performance and why strong foundations always outperform quick fixes.His perspective is simple: don't scale your ad spend until you've built a system that can convert the traffic you're already getting.We cover:• The biggest mistakes businesses make with Google Ads• Why landing pages matter as much as the ads themselves• How AI is changing paid advertising• The importance of accurate tracking and clean data• Why compliance can make or break your ad account• How to reduce wasted ad spend with better strategy• What businesses should look for when hiring a Google Ads agencyTakeaways:• Clicks don't guarantee customers• Strong foundations lead to better results• Data is only valuable when it's interpreted correctly• AI enhances strategy, it doesn't replace it• Better customer journeys create higher conversions• Sustainable growth comes from optimization, not bigger budgetsIf you've ever questioned why your Google Ads aren't delivering the results you expected, or you're looking to build a more profitable marketing strategy, this conversation is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately.Connect with John:

Send us Fan MailMost sports teams know exactly who their fans are — the fireworks families, the premium buyers, the last-minute deal seekers — and still send every one of them the same email blast. In Episode 173, Jeremy Neisser uses a simple ice cream shop analogy to show why that quietly drives fans away, and why the fix isn't better copy or a new platform. It's a system that responds to fan behavior after the send.

When you finally speak your truth to a covert narcissist, you expect relief. What you don't expect is what comes next. In this episode — the follow-up to Covert Narcissist Relationships: When You Can't Live the Lie Anymore — Renee Swanson walks through what actually happens in the aftermath of confronting a covert narcissist. Why love bombing feels like hope but is really about control. What a smear campaign looks like and why the people around you believe it. How to recognize when escalation and rage are designed to make you feel like the confrontation was your mistake. Renee also covers the internal experience of the aftermath — the emotional whiplash, the second-guessing, the particular loneliness of telling the truth and still not feeling heard — and what your body is doing while all of this is happening. Plus what you actually need in this season: how to find safe people, stay grounded in the chaos, and begin moving forward without making permanent decisions in the eye of the storm. If you are in the middle of the hardest season of a covert narcissistic relationship, this episode will help you understand what is happening — and remind you that you are not losing your mind.
