Research isn’t everything. Facts alone don’t win arguments, but powerful stories do. Here’s how to turn your research into narratives that inspire trust and influence decisions.In the early days of my career, I believed that nothing wins an argument more effectively than strong and unbiased research.

For the past few years, brands and creators have lived under the shadow of a looming TikTok ban in the United States. Legislators debated, CEOs testified, and marketers nervously sketched “what if” contingency plans. Earlier this year, we explored how brands could prepare for that possibility, but now, the uncertainty has given way to clarity: rather than being banned, TikTok is being rebuilt in America.In September 2025, the U.S. government finalized a deal transferring control of TikTok’s U.S. algorithm to Oracle, marking the most significant platform restructuring since the app’s launch. While some regulatory approvals and technical details are still pending,…
Google Ads appears to be testing an automatic assignment of New Customer Value within New Customer Acquisition (NCA) campaigns — and it’s doing so without advertisers’ explicit consent. The change, first spotted by performance marketer Bilal Yasin, has led to unexpected reporting shifts and frustration among advertisers. “Without any heads-up, and without it being in the change history, a new customer value has suddenly been applied to a customer,” Yasin wrote on LinkedIn. “It was set to 200 DKK… One thing is that Google has assigned a value, but another is that I can’t remove it again!” Why we care.…
Set boundariesHow to cultivate a successful mentoring relationship. I tell a story about when I did my counseling course like everyone was grown. We decided to set up a WhatsApp group. And the tutor said to us, it’s like, “What are the rules for this group?” And we’re like, “No, we’re all grown-ups. It’s going to be fine. Everyone knows how to behave.” And at the end of each session, we have a group therapy. And then at the fifth group therapy session, she said, “Do you realize that you all spend at least 30 minutes talking about this WhatsApp group…

By: Chelsea Goodson The most powerful marketing doesn’t look like marketing — it feels like a recommendation from someone you trust. That’s why authentic creator content is dominating both organic feeds and paid campaigns. Here’s the catch, though: when brands take influencer content and turn it into ads, it’s easy to lose the very thing that made it work — its authenticity. Here’s how to make sure that doesn’t happen. Start with Authentic Content — Not Polished AdsIf the goal is connection, don’t over-engineer the ad.The most successful paid ads featuring influencer content often look and sound exactly like the…
Using a dedicated Googlebot browser simplifies technical SEO audits and improves the accuracy of your results. Here’s why:1. ConvenienceA dedicated browser saves time and effort by allowing you to quickly emulate Googlebot without relying on multiple tools. Switching user agents in a standard browser extension can be inefficient, especially when auditing sites with inconsistent server responses or dynamic content.Additionally, some Googlebot-specific Chrome settings don’t persist across tabs or sessions, and specific settings (e.g., disabling JavaScript) can interfere with other tabs you’re working on. You can bypass these challenges and streamline your audit process with a separate browser.2. Improved accuracyBrowser extensions can…
