Ari Paparo and guest co-host Paul Knegten sit down with Jack Raines, author of Young Money, to discuss how viral LinkedIn posts, humor, and attention-driven marketing helped him build a 61,000-subscriber newsletter, land a book deal, and create a personal brand. The episode also covers OpenAI, WPP, Walmart Connect, Taboola, Google's AI advertising strategy, LiveRamp, and Higgsfield. Takeaways: Jack Raines turned provocative LinkedIn posts into a subscriber acquisition engine for his newsletter. Authentic personality and calculated controversy can generate attention, but the product still needs to deliver. Free content can create indirect value through book sales, consulting opportunities, and deal flow. Making a product or brand easy and fun to share can create an organic marketing flywheel. The episode also explores major developments across AI, retail media, ad tech, and the open web.

He ran creative for the world's biggest advertising group. Then his own recommendation to the board cost him the job, and he sold every share he owned the same week.In this episode, John O'Keeffe explains how he took WPP from a "creative desert" to seven straight years as Creative Holding Company of the Decade, why recommending Mark Read to succeed Martin Sorrell as CEO turned out to be his biggest mistake, and what happened when Read undercut him in front of the entire company. He also makes the case for why AI can execute a creative idea at any scale but cannot originate one, using Compare the Market's meerkat campaign as proof, and reflects on the campaigns he's most proud of, including Keep Walking for Johnnie Walker and an Audi ad voted best in the world.You will learn why creative leaders sometimes cost themselves their own jobs through the people they vouch for, what AI can and cannot do in marketing right now, and why standing for a specific idea beats chasing every trend.Send us Fan Mail Is your strategy still right in 2026?

La IA busca atajosTres empresas revelaron que sus modelos de inteligencia artificial encontraron formas inesperadas de cumplir objetivos durante pruebas de ciberseguridad. Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Meta confirmó que uno de sus modelos de inteligencia artificial realizó acciones no previstas durante una prueba de ciberseguridad. Antes habían informado incidentes similares OpenAI y Anthropic. Los tres casos ocurrieron durante evaluaciones diseñadas para medir las capacidades de estos sistemas en condiciones extremas. Los equipos de investigación habían habilitado el acceso a Internet y desactivado parte de los filtros de seguridad para observar hasta dónde podían llegar los modelos. Durante esas pruebas, algunos agentes buscaron sistemas externos, crearon identidades falsas e intentaron convencer a personas reales para avanzar hacia el objetivo que habían recibido. Ninguno de estos episodios ocurrió durante el uso cotidiano de ChatGPT, Claude o Meta AI. Todos pertenecen a entornos de investigación. La coincidencia entre los tres laboratorios plantea una pregunta diferente: ¿cómo evitar que una inteligencia artificial encuentre caminos que sus propios creadores nunca imaginaron?El objetivo era correcto; el método no. Las investigaciones describen un comportamiento parecido. Cada modelo recibió una tarea relacionada con una prueba de ciberseguridad. Ninguno recibió instrucciones para engañar personas o intervenir servicios reales. Aun así, algunos agentes descubrieron que podían avanzar más rápido utilizando recursos disponibles en Internet. En distintos casos investigaron información pública, crearon cuentas falsas, propusieron cambios de código en proyectos de software de código abierto o intentaron acceder a sistemas externos. Daniel Hulme, director global de inteligencia artificial de WPP, explicó que estos modelos no actúan con intención maliciosa. Los modelos buscan cumplir el objetivo que reciben y pueden encontrar estrategias que quienes diseñaron la prueba no habían previsto. El Instituto de Seguridad en Inteligencia Artificial del Reino Unido, conocido como AISI, documentó el caso con mayor detalle. Sus investigadores realizaron 122 pruebas con varios modelos avanzados. Diez ejecuciones produjeron acciones fuera del alcance previsto. Los equipos registraron diecinueve comportamientos no autorizados. Diecisiete correspondieron al modelo experimental Mythos 5, de Anthropic. Dos ocurrieron con una versión experimental de GPT-5.6 que operaba con sus filtros de ciberseguridad desactivados. En el episodio más delicado, un agente intentó introducir código malicioso en un proyecto público de GitHub. Después creó identidades falsas para convencer al responsable del proyecto de aprobar ese cambio. Un revisor humano detectó el intento y lo rechazó antes de que el código fuera aceptado. Las investigaciones no encontraron daños reales, pero sí mostraron que algunos agentes podían descubrir estrategias que no formaban parte de la prueba. Los informes publicados hasta ahora apuntan a una misma conclusión. Los modelos no escaparon de un laboratorio ni rompieron por sí mismos un entorno cerrado. Los equipos de investigación habían autorizado el acceso a Internet y habían reducido algunas barreras de seguridad para estudiar las capacidades máximas de estos sistemas. El problema apareció cuando algunos agentes utilizaron esa libertad de maneras que nadie esperaba. Meta investiga las causas de su incidente y anunció que publicará más información cuando termine el análisis. AISI ya modificó sus protocolos. Las próximas evaluaciones incorporarán controles más estrictos sobre el acceso a Internet, supervisión en tiempo real y límites más claros para impedir que los agentes actúen fuera del escenario previsto. Ese trabajo busca descubrir estos comportamientos antes de que modelos todavía más capaces lleguen a un uso más amplio.Las pruebas del instituto británico AISI también ayudaron a responder una duda que apareció en muchos titulares. Los investigadores aclararon que los modelos no rompieron la llamada sandbox, el entorno aislado donde se ejecutaban las evaluaciones. Ese aislamiento siguió funcionando. Lo que sí ocurrió fue que las pruebas habían concedido acceso deliberado a Internet para medir el máximo potencial de los agentes. Además, los filtros que normalmente bloquean acciones peligrosas permanecían desactivados porque el objetivo consistía precisamente en evaluar las capacidades reales del modelo. AISI reconoce que esa configuración favoreció comportamientos que no habían anticipado. A partir de este incidente, el instituto modificará sus protocolos para justificar cada acceso a Internet, vigilar las evaluaciones en tiempo real y revisar que cada reto tenga límites mucho más claros. Las investigaciones muestran un patrón nuevo. Varios laboratorios descubrieron que algunos modelos encuentran caminos inesperados para cumplir una misión cuando trabajan con muy pocas restricciones. Los daños fueron evitados y ocurrieron únicamente durante pruebas de investigación, pero los resultados ya están cambiando la forma en que se evalúan estas tecnologías.

Last week I walked some of Britain's oldest path, the Ridgeway, which runs across south central England. It's literally a ridge, and would once have been a vitally important path when the valleys on either side might have been impenetrable marsh or forest.I walked 56 miles in 4 days, starting in Avebury and ending in Goring.Lots of amazing views of Britain's brown and pleasant land. Red kites galore. And, early on Day 1, I even saw a brown hare, something I hadn't seen for many decades. At one point it sprinted (should say galloped?) through a field alongside and past me, quite the sight, but I was so busy admiring it I didn't get the video.Lots of barrows and burial grounds. Lovely peaceful places. I was particularly taken with Wayland's SmithyThe path was pretty deserted - I only passed somebody every hour or so. Sometimes I went several hours without seeing anyone, excluding cyclists of which there were a few, especially towards Goring.So lots of time to think, and one of the things I thought about at great length was what to do with my largest position, something I'll have more on soon. Gold stocks look, by the way, as though the summer consolidation is over, and are starting to pick up. Here's to another bonanza 12 months …. But back to the matter in hand. Each evening I would walk down off the Ridgeway to one of the villages in the valley, then climb back up the hill the following morning. Lots of lovely churches and thatched cottages to be seen.One of the many landmarks on the trip is the famous Uffington White Horse, carved into the downs some 3000 years ago in the late Bronze Age. With the underlying chalk, it is bright and white, and locals have maintained it all these years. It almost looks modern: minimalist and abstract with clean, stylized lines conveying sweeping movement.But as I walked the mile or two up the hill that sunny morning, several things struck me. First, that the White Horse isn't actually very visible from the valley below.If its creators wanted people in the valley to see it, surely they would have carved it into the side of the hill. But they didn't. They carved it right on the lip.nor is visible from the Ridgeway just above. In fact, it's not that visible from land at all and better seen from the air above.That immediately made me think of the Nazca Lines in Peru (see vid below), those ancient figures carved into a plateau which too best appreciated from the air.But that doesn't quite work either. If the Uffington figure was intended to be viewed from above, why not put it on the plateau? (You can't even see it from the Ridgeway itself) Why put it on the lip?3,000 years ago, much of the valley below would have been wooded or marshy, as I say, making the figure even harder to see from below. So who was supposed to see it? And from where?The final mystery of my day was this: is it actually a horse? Look at the head. Does that look like a horse to you?It has whiskers. Horses don't have whiskers. Cats do though. Yours confused, DominicPS Here is the white horse pictured from the air. You do not get this view from the land … and there's no way that's meant to be a horse. I'm sure Jason Arday has the answers,In case you missed it, here is this week's piece, the second part of my special report into the tidal wave of takeovers sweeping the UK at the moment as we sell ourselves off. One of these, WPP, moved 35% in two days.In other news, here is my talk on gold from CPAC the other day. Nothing you don't already know, but I was pleased with the talk.And, finally, mining financier Simon Catt had me on his podcast, while I was walking the Ridgeway.

In the first installment of a four-part summer miniseries, hosts Kate Scott-Dawkins and Sam Weston pressure-test one of four plausible — and deliberately contrasting — futures for AI, advertising, and power by 2035. The scenario under the microscope: The Closed Loop, a world where a handful of vertically integrated platform ecosystems, not governments or open markets, come to govern everyday commercial life. The overarching story: convenience becomes a form of private governance, AI agents become the primary interface between brands and consumers, and marketing itself evolves into an exercise in shaping the instructions humans give their digital assistants.Key Topics DiscussedA control-vs-distribution framework for mapping four AI-driven futures, building on WPP's 2020 "Advertising in 2030" reportThe Closed Loop scenario: persistent AI assistants that manage household purchasing, negotiate on your behalf, and default to platform-preferred merchants and payment systemsWhy closed platforms must consistently outperform open-source alternatives for consumers to accept this trade-offThe regulatory gap between AI capability development and policymaking, referencing Dario Amodei's commentary and Mark Zuckerberg's Wall Street Journal op-ed on open AIHow brand purchase decisions increasingly get intermediated by agents — and why "human prompt injection" (shaping brand preference before the prompt is even written) becomes a core marketing disciplineMedia planning's evolving role in identifying when and how brand preference actually gets setGlobal parallels already in motion outside the US, including Tencent's WeChat super-app, plus Xiaomi and ByteDance's platform ambitionsThe national champion question: will governments cede control to platforms, or assert regulatory authority over themA year-by-year backcast of how this future could unfold, from the "convenience bargain" (2028–2030) through agentic commerce maturity (2032–2033) to full platform-architected life (2034–2035)CRM supremacy, membership psychology (with a Costco parallel), and brand-specific platform variants as retention toolsThree concrete moves for marketers in 2026: one strategic bet, one risk to map, and one signal to watchChapter Stamps00:00 - Introduction & Cold Open00:36 - Series Overview: Four Plausible Futures for 203504:32 - The Framework: Control vs. Distribution Axis06:53 - Introducing "The Closed Loop" Scenario09:35 - What's Missing Today: The Gap Between Now and 203511:09 - The Policy Race: Capability vs. Regulation15:26 - Open vs. Closed AI: The Zuckerberg Op-Ed Debate17:42 - The Existential Question: What Happens to Brands?19:32 - Agents as Intermediaries & Platform Differentiation21:38 - Human Prompt Injection & Brand Preference24:41 - Agencies' New Role: Negotiating Platform Environments26:49 - Beyond the US: Tencent, Xiaomi, ByteDance & Super Apps27:55 - National Champions & the Government-Platform Power Struggle29:19 - Backcasting the Timeline: How We Get There32:23 - 2028–2030: The Convenience Bargain34:30 - CRM Supremacy & the Membership Model36:53 - 2034–2035: Platforms as Life's Architecture40:21 - Three Moves for 2026: Bet, Risk, Signal44:50 - Next Week Preview: "The Agent Commons"

Executive editor Jack O'Brien first met Wendy Lund, an honoree from our Pinnacle Awards and Women of Distinction program, in September of 2022. Lund had just left her position as CEO of Agency 100 honoree GCI Health to serve as chief client officer for health and wellness at WPP. Now in her new post as CEO of Stagwell-owned agency Allison, Lund joins this week's podcast for an in-person interview with reporter Bella Czajkowski. Lund dives into a recent HarrisX–Allison Worldwide study on how GLP-1s are reshaping attitudes toward weight loss and care. The report was released late last month and chief among its numerous findings was the observation that GLP-1s have moved firmly into the mainstream, though the public conversation around them remains split between medical breakthrough and moral judgment. As Wendy told Bella, “culture is shaping health, but health is also shaping culture.” And for our Trends segment, O'Brien and Czajkowski are joined by editor-at-large Steve Madden for a conversation on all that went down during the FDA's recent two-day advisory panel focused on peptides.

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.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, Mechelle Monroe, former Global Chief People Officer for WPP Open X, Team Coca-Cola at WPP, explores how people leaders can support others without losing touch with what they need themselves.Mechelle breaks emotional resilience into practical habits, including scheduled emotional maintenance, conscious breathing, honest self-talk, protected meals, movement, reflection, and knowing when to say no. She also explains how naming an emotion, questioning the story behind it, and creating a clear end to the working day can stop difficult moments from following leaders home.As work becomes faster and more technical, emotional intelligence and emotional resilience become more valuable, not less. For leaders carrying other people's stress, the real question is not how much more they can absorb, but whether they have built the capacity to pause, recover, and keep showing up well.

She has operated at VP and CPO level, leading large international teams across consumer technology and media.We discuss:— Why the explosion of product frameworks, books, and LinkedIn benchmarks has made it harder, not easier, to feel like you're doing the job well — regardless of seniority— How the physical symptoms of burnout can masquerade as markers of success, and why high-achieving women in particular are vulnerable to that misreading— What it actually takes to recover: stepping away, finding what your body needs outside of work, and stopping short of making your job your entire identity— Why being genuinely enjoyable to work with is a more durable career advantage than any certification or methodology— How the Eisenhower matrix — do, defer, delegate, delete — can be a practical daily tool for protecting energy, not just a poster on a wall— The case for "happy high status": remaining calm and unflappable under pressure as a learnable leadership behaviour, not a personality trait— Why commercial curiosity — understanding what moves the business and staying interested in the world — will matter more for long-term product careers than AI certificatesChapters:0:00 Introduction 1:29 Charity's background 4:00 Why product feels harder than ever 6:34 Why fun at work matters 8:45 Recognising burnout 10:25 When burnout feels like success 12:13 Finding your way back 16:18 Fun as a strategic advantage 18:00 Staying calm under pressure 22:26 The "CEO of the product" myth 22:41 Mindset for a long career in product 24:45 Building resilience 26:35 Wrap-upReferencedEisenhower matrix | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priorit...Charity's keynote at #mtpcon London | • Product is Hard.

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.

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.

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
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.
