<strong>Gen Z didn't kill cinema, beer, or soda. Tired marketing did (6 minute read)</strong>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Declining categories aren't a Gen Z problem but a marketing one. Legacy brands rely on repetitive extensions instead of new ideas. US cinema admissions fell from $1.3B in 2019 to $777M in 2023. However, original, low-budget films are breaking out, with Backrooms grossing $300M and drawing 43% of viewers aged 18-24. The same pattern shows up in CPG, where Pepsi's North American volume dropped 2% while newer soda brands surged. Younger consumers want different products, not fewer of them.

<strong>In Defense of Softness: Brands, Communication, and the End of Certainty as Authority (8 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Optimization-first branding is saturating. People are pushing back on constant self-improvement and performance pressure. That creates whitespace for brands that feel less demanding. “Softness” isn't an aesthetic. It's a shift in behavior toward lower pressure and more emotional range. Most brands still compete on authority and optimization. The opportunity is to act like a companion, not a coach.

<strong>When Should You Send Your First Abandoned Cart Email? (3 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Most recoverable cart revenue happens within the first hour, with recovery rates dropping sharply after 24 hours. Sending too early can feel intrusive or miss completed purchases, while waiting too long loses intent. A three-email sequence performs best, with a reminder at one hour, social proof at 24 hours, and urgency or an incentive at 48 to 72 hours. After 72 hours, most shoppers have moved on.

<strong>Everyone is writing a pricing page for robots (3 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
AI agents are becoming a buyer persona that most pricing pages aren't designed for. When an agent is asked to find the cheapest tool in a category, it reads pricing pages and picks a winner, but standard pages serve rendered code with prices buried inside rather than structured data an agent can parse. The fix is a /pricing.md file at yoursite.com/pricing.md, plain text with tables for plans, overage, and billing that requires no login and no rendering. Several companies already host these without linking to them anywhere, betting that agents will look for /pricing.md automatically under any domain they evaluate.

<strong>How ChatGPT Actually Picks Sources (I Read the Network Traffic, Not the Outputs) (11 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
ChatGPT visibility depends as much on technical setup as content quality. It favors pages that are easy to scrape, meaning brands should publish key information like pricing and specs in plain HTML instead of JavaScript, images, or PDFs. It also tends to cite third-party sources like Reddit and review sites over brand websites, even when using brand content. To improve visibility, brands should build credible external coverage and focus on fewer, more authoritative pages since results are deduplicated by domain.

TikTok is rolling out Mini Dramas, episodic series that brands can publish and monetize through ads, paid unlocks, and in-app engagement. Growth Max ties the format to performance campaigns, with reported 52% higher incremental reach and up to 10X scale when paired with off-platform activity. It positions episodic content as both discovery and performance inventory on TikTok.

Most marketing “best practices” are inherited, not proven. This piece is a reminder to question defaults like constant growth and formulaic content. Marketers who challenge these norms can create more distinctive work and focus on what actually resonates instead of what looks right. The upside is less generic output and more effective, differentiated marketing.

<strong>OLIPOP's Steven Vigilante Says Brands Are Misreading Creator Marketing (6 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Most brands get creator marketing wrong by treating one video as a test when it actually takes $25-50K of spend over 1-3 months and multiple creators to learn anything. OLIPOP's playbook shows what works is simple products, real creator fit, and repeated exposure that builds association over time, not scripted one-offs. Even YouTube, now a bigger investment than Instagram for the brand, performs because it delivers sustained attention and measurable outcomes like conversions, not just views.
