Ben Dietz convenes Casey Lewis (After School), Daisy Alioto (Dirt), and Erica Chen (Media Futures Group, WPP) on the collapse of the wall between editorial and commerce. Publishers are shipping perfume, brands are hiring writers, and the relationship forming in your inbox isn't human-to-human anymore. What happens when the scenic route is quicker? When “wasted” time actually is the relationship? Your total addressable market now includes agents, and those agents are trained on the taste you are curating. After all – what you buy is who you become, but what you read is how you decide. Base Notes: Upper Lip Sweat and Hot Metal Key takeaways: Publishers now make products; brands now make publications. The wall stopped mattering. Optimization is a process of reduction, and serendipity gets cut first. Brands flame out at issue two or three without a point of view. Taste-driven publishers have a new addressable market: agents trained on taste. [12:48] "The best ROI does not necessarily give you growth, because growth comes in volumes." – Erica Chen [21:15] "When your audience knows to expect you… you really have to stay true to that." – Casey Lewis [28:50] "Our total addressable market now includes agents." – Daisy Alioto [30:32] "Creators are the cure to the media fragmentation." – Erica Chen Associated Links: Casey Lewis – After School on Substack Erica Chen – "In Defense of Serendipity" Daisy Alioto – Read Dirt @ dirt.fyi Tasteland podcast – Daisy Alioto & Francis Zierer VISIONS Summit 2026 – November 3, 2026 at MoMA.

That Solo Life Episode 346: Why Independent PR Firms Are Outperforming Holding Companies Right Now Episode Summary It's the week after the Fourth of July, and Karen and Michelle are talking about a different kind of independence. It turns out that the future of PR looks a lot like its past: closer to the work, the relationships, and the accountability that got lost as holding companies scaled. Karen and Michelle walk through the data backing that argument — holding company headcount cuts, a Forrester forecast for 2026, independent firm revenue and growth figures, and a client tenure study that should make every solo practitioner feel validated. This is a celebratory, data-backed episode about why this moment belongs to independent practitioners, and a reminder that going solo doesn't mean going it alone. Episode Highlights [01:13] The Article That Sparked This Episode: Karen and Michelle discuss a PR News article by Jennifer Risi founder and president of The Sway Effect, titled “Old School Is the New School: How Independent PR Is Outrunning the Holding Company Model.” According to the article the future of PR looks like its past, not the bloated, multi-layered approval structures that came with scale, but direct relationships, accountability, and responsiveness. [02:29] The Industry Backdrop: Mergers, Layoffs, and a Symbolic Real Estate Shift: The article was published around Cannes Lions, timed against a wave of holding company consolidation, including a major agency merger referenced in the piece. Michelle highlights a striking detail: WPP gave up its longtime beach space at Cannes, and an independent agency took it over, a literal changing of the guard discussed in the original article. [03:10] The Headcount Numbers Behind the Shift: According to the article, holding companies cut headcount by an average of 8% in 2025, with a Forrester forecast cited for a 15% reduction in 2026. Karen and Michelle are clear that this isn't something to celebrate, hey don't take pleasure in layoffs or peers in the industry struggling, but the data underscores the structural shift taking place. All source data referenced in the episode will be linked in the show notes. [05:59] Independent Firms Are Posting Real Growth: Citing O'Dwyer's 2026 independent PR firm rankings, the independent sector pushed combined fee income to $4.8 billion, with nearly a third of the top 140 independent firms surveyed posting double-digit growth in the same year holding companies were announcing layoffs. Karen and Michelle's takeaway for solo listeners who haven't seen that kind of growth yet: there is work being awarded right now, and consistency in business development matters more than ever. [07:08] Independent Clients Stick Around Longer: A 2025 joint study from the ANA and the 4A's found that clients stay with independent agencies an average of 7.3 years, compared to 5.8 years at holding company agencies. Karen notes this surprised her. She expected the gap to be even wider based on anecdotal experience with solo practitioners but the data confirms what many independents have felt for years: that tenure reflects trust renewed over and over again, not just convenience. [10:21] Why Now? Two Forces Colliding: Michelle frames the moment as two things happening at once. The holding company model scaled to a point where margin optimization started to outweigh relationship investment. At the same time, AI emerged and gave independent practitioners the tools to work smarter and keep pace without the overhead that scale requires. [11:11] The Counterintuitive AI Argument: Judgment Becomes More Valuable, Not Less: The article asserts that AI doesn't make communications less important; it makes human judgment more valuable. When the media environment is fragmented, and machine-generated content adds speed and volume to an already chaotic landscape, clients need a human who can say what's actually real, what matters, and what to do next. That judgment cannot be automated and it does not live in headcount, it lives in a person. [13:14] Independence Means Choosing What You Carry: Independence isn't the absence of structure, it's choosing what structure to carry. For a solo practitioner, that means no committee, no internal routing, no extra layers, just the strategy, the execution, and the phone call. Karen adds an honest counterpoint: that freedom carries real weight too, and most solos who are drawn to this work want that weight. It's not a burden when it's the work you signed up for. [16:19] The Honest Tension: Concentration Without a Bench: Michelle names the tradeoff directly. Being the whole agency means there's no one to hand a midnight crisis to, no colleague down the hall to sanity-check a risky call. The freedom and the isolation come in the same box. Karen's answer is the Solo PR Pro community — built specifically to give independent practitioners the peer support, expertise, and gut-checks that solo work doesn't naturally include.

In the last of NDA's exclusive interviews from this year's Cannes Festival, Justin Pearse chats with ad industry legend Sir Martin Sorrell.Sir Martin is a British business leader and founder of WPP and S4 Capital, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the global advertising industry. He built WPP into the world's largest marketing services group and now leads S4 Capital (Monks), focusing on tech-driven, digital-first marketing transformation.
Day three at Cannes Lions revealed something unexpected.Coming into the festival, many predicted AI would dominate every conversation.Instead, another topic has quietly taken centre stage:Creators.Not creator hype. Not influencer marketing. Creator effectiveness.Presented by System1, today's Cannes Cut explores one of the biggest conversations happening across the Croisette. Marc and Vassilis reflect on another packed day at Cannes, including the System1 Stars of the Show event featuring Andrew Tindall, Orlando Wood, Mark Ritson, Les Binet, Adam Morgan and many of the industry's leading thinkers.The featured interview is with Andrew Tindall, Chief Growth Officer at System1, who joins us to discuss the new Creator Effectiveness Playbook, developed in partnership with WPP and TikTok.One insight stood above the rest:Most creator campaigns aren't driving meaningful brand growth. A small "brilliant minority" are responsible for the majority of the impact.The conversation has evolved beyond follower counts and engagement rates. Instead, marketers are asking better questions:Does this creator genuinely fit the brand?How do creators build memory, not just engagement?Why does emotion still outperform optimisation?What role do distinctive brand assets play in creator content?And how do we stop treating creator marketing like a casino?We also bring back another edition of The Buzz Cut, hearing directly from marketers around the world, including Lauren Anderson (Amazon Ads), David Tiltman (WARC), Reno from Nikkei, and Vinnie from Leo São Paulo, sharing what's capturing their attention halfway through Cannes.In this episode:Highlights from System1's Stars of the ShowAndrew Tindall on the Creator Effectiveness PlaybookWhy only a small minority of creator campaigns drive real growthWhy brand fit matters more than follower countPinterest's positioning around quality engagementWhy AI feels more like infrastructure than the headline storyThe latest perspectives from marketers across the CroisetteThe rosé can wait.

Finally, challenge yourself with this week's missions to build your range: committing to a daily mobility practice and deliberately altering your familiar routines to interrupt rigid habits.Special thanks to Will Potter for providing the incredible track "Easy Day" featured in this episode!

What if the biggest problem in marketing isn't your message, your targeting, or your budget? What if it's the map you're using?For more than a century, marketers have relied on funnels, customer journeys, and pipeline stages to explain how people buy.The problem?People don't move in straight lines.In this Sharp Cut, Marc and Vassilis unpack why buying behaviour looks far more like a messy search pattern than a carefully planned journey. Drawing on research from Ehrenberg-Bass, Google, WPP, Oxford, James Hankins, Gartner, Bain, and the LinkedIn B2B Institute, they explore why most consumer decisions are made before shopping begins and why so many B2B deals stall after the buying process has already started.Along the way, they tackle the real purpose of the funnel, the limits of customer journey mapping, the hidden role of buying committees, and why the pipeline may be better at reporting decisions than helping people make them.In this episode:Why the traditional funnel continues to surviveWhat the Consumer Decision Journey got right—and wrongThe surprising finding that 84% of purchases favor brands consumers already lean towardWhy "good enough" beats "best" more often than marketers realizeThe difference between consumer and B2B buying behaviorHow buying committees create friction inside organizationsWhy 40-60% of qualified B2B deals end in no decisionThe pipeline's real purposeWhy probability may be a better model than journeysThe funnel is a useful reporting tool. It just isn't a very good theory of human behaviour.Takeaways:Success in marketing is often misrepresented as a straight line.The consumer decision journey is more complex than traditional models suggest.Buyers often choose brands they are already leaning towards before shopping.The funnel oversimplifies the buying process, leading to ineffective strategies.Fear of making the wrong decision can paralyze B2B buyers.Satisficing is a common behavior where buyers settle for 'good enough'.Mental and physical availability are crucial for influencing buyer decisions.The traditional funnel model is outdated and needs to be rethought.Understanding buyer behavior requires acknowledging the chaos of the decision-making process.Marketers should focus on building frameworks based on real consumer behavior rather than idealized models.Chapters:Chapters00:00 - Introduction02:48 - The Complexity of the Consumer Decision Journey06:06 - The Limitations of Traditional Marketing Models08:49 - Understanding Buyer Behavior and Decision-Making11:59 - Rethinking the Marketing Funnel14:57 - The Role of Fear in B2B Buying Decisions17:53 - Building a Better Marketing Framework

When you're in the thick of wedding planning, it can feel like this phase of life will go on forever. But believe it or not, at some point you WILL actually be married, and wedding planning will come to an end (insert cheering emoji / crying emoji here - take your pick!). I see a pretty split reaction to this, with half of us feeling thank universe, the wedding can't come soon enough ... having all that extra brain space back from planning and organizing a million tiny details will be amazing. On the other hand, there are also plenty of us who absolutely love the engagement and planning phase, and are NOT looking forward to it ending. Post wedding blues are a real thing, and we're going to talk about that today too. To start today off, I have some post-wedding takeaways and advice from past WPP couples (including myself!). They share what they loved, and in all honesty, what could have been better. During the second half of today's show, I have an actionable checklist of things that will need to be handled after the wedding. So if you're sad about it all coming to an end … don't worry - it doesn't actually end, there's still lots more to do! Click here for a checklist-style recap Cheers to you, Kara
In this episode of the Women Emerging podcast's Journey to Leadership series, Julia Middleton speaks with Shailja Saraswati, founder of Unstoppable Network, about the visible journey we write on our CVs and the quieter journey that unfolds beneath it.Drawing on a 25-year corporate career, her deep spiritual practice and the experiences that led her to create Unstoppable Network, Shailja reflects on what happens when the systems around us no longer fit and we begin searching for something more aligned with who we are becoming.Together, Julia and Shailja explore self-leadership, inner authority, intuition, resilience and the role of spirituality in shaping the way we lead. They discuss how women navigate uncertainty, why courage often begins with doing the things we believe we cannot do, and what happens when we learn to trust ourselves more deeply.The conversation also examines storytelling, community and the importance of women learning alongside one another. Throughout, Shailja returns to a powerful belief: that leading starts within, and that the most important person we will ever learn to lead is ourselves.This episode will resonate with anyone interested in self-leadership, personal growth, women leading, intuition, resilience, inner authority and finding the courage to create their own path.About the Guest:Shailja Saraswati Varghese is the Founder of Unstoppable Network and creator-host of Unstoppable Woman.

Seu produto tem funcionalidade, mas os usuários travam antes de chegar ao valor? Neste Enzimas, recebemos Amanda Couto, Especialista de Produto na SEK. Ela traz uma provocação direta: o onboarding no modelo de tutorial com checklist, tour guiado e etapas sequenciais pode estar fazendo mais mal do que bem. O problema, segundo ela, raramente é a ausência de funcionalidade. É o excesso de esforço que o produto joga no usuário antes de ele perceber qualquer valor. Ficou curioso?

Publicis dropped a bomb on Sunday. By Monday, LinkedIn was on fire. Christian, co-host of the In/organic Podcast pulled together two of the sharpest voices in commerce and media to break down what this deal actually means — beyond the press release.Joining In/Organic for this special episode: Ari Paparo, 20-year ad tech veteran, host of the Marketecture podcast, and author of Yield: How Google Bought, Built and Bullied Its Way to Advertising Dominance — and Peter (PVSB) Bond, co-host of the CPG Guys podcast (closing in on episode 600) and Head of Industry and Client Engagement at Flywheel, the commerce acceleration division of Omnicom.This is the one episode this week you can't skip.What we cover: Is this really an agentic AI story or is that just the packaging? Why LiveRamp's client count is already down from 940 to 800 — and what happens next. Why Omnicom, WPP, and every other holdco is immediately accelerating their own identity builds. The three distinct assets inside LiveRamp and which one actually matters. Why Amazon Marketing Cloud is the elephant in the clean room conversation. What independent agencies and lower middle market ad tech players should actually do in response. And who the M&A targets are for anyone not named Publicis.Timestamps0:00 — Breaking news: Publicis announces plan to acquire LiveRamp1:58 — Deal terms: $2.5B total EV, $2.16B net of cash, 2.8x revenue2:45 — Guest intros: Ari Paparo (Marketecture) and Peter Bond (CPG Guys / Flywheel)4:00 — The backstory: IPG acquired Acxiom in 2018 but deliberately excluded LiveRamp5:30 — Is this an agentic AI story?

What if the darkest chapter of your life turned out to be the very thing that saved it? Sean Clayton is a serial entrepreneur, marketing expert, and founder of Myosin and Mindful Ventures. He has helped bring nine brands to exit totaling over a billion dollars through direct-to-consumer marketing. Today, he is building AI-first marketing products, investing in over 30 companies, and teaching people how to unlock their highest self through integrated spirituality and radical inner work. In this conversation on The Greatness Machine, Darius and Sean dig into one of the most remarkable origin stories you'll hear on this show. Sean opens up about childhood sexual abuse and the deep wounds it left behind, the people-pleasing and affirmation-seeking patterns it created, and the moment he tried to end his life before everything fell apart. He shares how a federal conviction and nearly three years behind bars paradoxically became the turning point that broke a cycle that could have killed him, and how he rebuilt his life from the ground up, starting at a car dealership in a halfway house with $200 in ads and a hunger to prove the world wrong. Sean also shares the spiritual framework he now teaches through the Miracle Academy, including how to get in communion with your inner child, why everything happening outside of you is simply a feedback loop of your internal world, how to recognize and create from life's patterns, and what it truly means to stop efforting through life and start walking in greatness.

OpenAI launched its self-serve ad platform for ChatGPT two weeks ago, and the implications are still arriving. No minimum spend. Cost-per-click bidding starts at three to five dollars. Dentsu, Omnicom, Publicis, WPP — every big agency holding company is wired in. The advertising era of ChatGPT didn't begin gradually. It began on May fifth.The 2.5 billion dollars this year, 100 billion by 2030 target is the exact economic model that built Google and Meta. The free-tier user is no longer the customer. The free-tier user is the inventory. No minimum spend means every small business is about to flood in."Without sharing conversations" is the legal version. The advertiser never sees your data. OpenAI sees all of it and sells the right to act on what it sees. The data didn't leak. The middleman just changed seats. That's not a privacy story. That's a conflict of interest story that's now structural, not occasional.Gmail launched in 2004 with no ads and the cleanest interface on the web. Facebook News Feed in 2007 as a way to keep up with friends. Twitter started selling promoted tweets in 2010 after promising it never would. Every era ends the same way. The only thing that changes is how trusted the interface was before the ads showed up.The conversational interface is the highest-trust interaction humans have ever built into a machine. You ask in plain language. It answers in plain language. No blue links. No scrollable feed. Just one voice. We just sold the ad inventory inside that voice. The question isn't whether the model lies to you. The question is what fraction of your day is now navigated through a relationship whose paymaster isn't you.⏱️ Chapters0:00 — OpenAI's self-serve ad platform launched May 50:25 — MiniDoge: $2.5B → $100B is the Google/Meta playbook0:55 — Nyx: the middleman just changed seats; conflict is structural1:25 — MiniDoge: Gmail 2004 → Facebook 2007 → Twitter 2010 → ChatGPT 20262:00 — HH: the assistant works for whoever bid highest now2:15 — Saarvis: we sold the ad inventory inside the most-trusted interface ever built⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop ⚡-----
Scotty O finally gets to sit down with his old friend and mentor Eric Heller. Back in the day, Eric created one of the first Amazon only agencies in the country, maybe the world? Marketplace Ignition was the blueprint on how to build an Amazon only agency and get it sold. Well, WPP purchased Eric's firm and it started a whole new opportunity for everyone doing Amazon work, including Scotty O. He had The Cairn Co as the Amazon division of the rep group Frontier Group.
