    Co-branding: risky stunt or smart move? A case study from Swatch x Audemars Piguet

    This week Julius and Ben discuss Microsoft Advertising’s expansion of LinkedIn targeting into connected TV, co-branding as an underrated growth lever, and Google’s new guide for publishers optimizing content for the generative AI era (GEO). They explain how Microsoft can match LinkedIn audience attributes (company, role) to connected TV via network/IP signals, framing it as a major B2B opportunity but best measured as brand spend using impressions and sales feedback rather than direct-response metrics. They analyze Swatch’s viral co-branded $400 Audemars Piguet pocket watch, arguing the pocket-watch format limits brand damage, boosts awareness for both brands, and may create aspiration for the core luxury product.

    Will Claude blackmail you too?

    This week Julius and Ben discuss how performance marketers are being pushed to rethink metrics as competition concentrates budgets in the lower funnel and suggest a broader shift back toward brand strategy as early digital advantages fade. They cover Google Ads integrating Tag Manager access to simplify tracking for small advertisers and tie it to Google’s AI-driven push to democratize advertising and reduce reliance on large buyers. They also note Google dropping FAQ rich results, reducing SEO visibility while AI answers may still use on-page FAQs. Finally, they react to Anthropic’s reports of Claude “blackmail” scenarios, framing them as likely marketing and prompt-dependent.

    OpenAI Opens ChatGPT Ads to Self-Service Platform

    In this episode, Ben and Julius cover major shifts in AI and ad tech, starting with Microsoft’s “AI paradox” study on Copilot, which finds that many enterprises lack incentives, support, and recognition systems that would motivate employees to redesign processes with AI tools; they discuss giving teams small testing budgets, collecting feedback, and celebrating wins. They then unpack Google Analytics’ Data API update enabling cross-channel conversion reporting (in beta) and why dominant platforms still withhold key intent data. Next, they discuss Uber Advertising reaching a $2B milestone, driven by high daily app usage across rides and delivery. Finally, they review OpenAI’s US beta for self-serve ChatGPT Ads, which resembles Google smart campaigns, and debate its impact on marketers and agencies.

    Positioning vs. Positionless Marketing: taking apart the debate

    Julius and Ben discuss why positioning remains a crucial growth lever even as AI and fast-moving content trends challenge traditional marketing frameworks. Ben defines positioning as how an offer is perceived through selling, production, communication, identity, and product delivery—shaping the buyer’s comparison moment and clarifying why someone should buy from you. They explore how companies can influence perception through consistent messaging, but warn that misalignment (e.g., low quality positioned as premium) destroys trust.

    Are we all Over-Targeting? The Case for Going Broad

    Let's discuss whether hyper-targeting is overrated and when going broad in PPC makes sense. Julius shares a recent shift toward broader Meta targeting, relying on persona-specific creative hooks to let users and the algorithm self-select, noting early mixed results tied more to creative quality than targeting. Ben explains why platforms push broad targeting and argues it works best when conversion feedback is short-term and accurate, such as B2C e-commerce, while longer deal cycles, human sales involvement, and lead-based optimization in B2B can degrade data quality and produce low-quality leads.

    UGC - keep it basic!

    Why is most modern UGC is ineffective and what separates the small percentage that actually performs? Ben & Julius clarify how “user-generated content” has evolved from organic consumer posts into paid, scripted creator content, and why authenticity still matters. They highlight common brand mistakes like over-branding with logos and CTAs, choosing the wrong creators, or having creators deliver messages they don’t understand, especially in complex B2B. They also explore where AI can already replace some UGC, when human creators still win, and why B2B marketers should adopt UGC sooner than later when audience size allows!

    Your Tracking Is Lying: Common Pitfalls & Attribution Myths

    We're back from the break and get into why “perfect” attribution doesn’t exist, especially as most customer journeys include multiple touchpoints beyond last-click channels like Google Ads and Meta. We explain cookies and why third-party cookies aren’t fully disappearing, highlighting how platform ecosystems and privacy controls affect measurement, and why first-party and server-side tracking are more robust and legally workable when data stays with the business. Ben warns that platform dashboards can inflate conversions and recommends validating with independent attribution tools (particularly at larger budgets), or even better, asking customers directly—without forcing a single-channel answer.

    Ai Video in 2026: Who Survives the Content War?

    In this episode, Julius and Ben discuss the rapid advancements in AI video production and its implications for the industry. They explore how AI-generated videos are becoming more affordable and realistic, potentially reshaping both User-Generated Content (UGC) and high-budget productions. The conversation touches on the authenticity of AI videos, the future of classical production industries, and the potential shift in creative strategies towards rolling out diverse video assets.
