"Instead of relying on generic 'value meal' promotions, #AI can engage customers in the moment, delivering tailored experiences that truly redefine how 'value' is perceived and accepted," @greghkahn says. (Thanks again, for the insights, Greg!)

Here’s my annual pitch - move the TV upfronts, newfronts, playfronts to the Cannes Lions Bring talent to France and create a marketplace around the advertising creative showcase (a la the Cannes Film Festival). All the buyers and sellers are here. And tv/streaming/creator economy talent would love to come to France in early June.

@Ryanbarwick “The slow death of cookies is the Bataan Death March of our age…”

The ad industry trade group kicked off its tech conference equating the loss of the tracking cookies to…..the end of WW2 (There was a caveat, but still)

@Kantrowitz Well, we'll still see you on Linkedin (maybe!)

New Apple Mail categorization is going to be bad for newsletters. Off to a secondary folder we go!

@DollyDeighton Ask young Katie B. Deighton)! I'm sure she'll do right by the name ;)

At what point in their career does the average journalist decide to middle initial their byline?

@billwise @AaronGoldman @AdtechGod @PossibleEvent Wait does this mean ... @AaronGoldman just might be @AdtechGod?!! (Stay tuned for my shocking documentary that I'll probably never get around to finishing)

@MattVanHoven @PatrickCoffee @weareyourfek Hey, twice definitely counts, because everything was a blur at these gatherings anyway. And maybe these “mediapocalypse” times call for a reunion.

Is “media parties” just another name for ad industry events where trade reporters huddle in the corner waiting for comms people to introduce them to CMOs and adtech founders?

Monopoly Go has made $2B in revenue? Impressive!

Thinking about Starbucks’ web3 program (dubbed Odyssey) ending and what this means for the future of brand loyalty programs. The web3 movement has subsided - AI has taken its place. As one of the first companies to integrate NFTs with an industry-leading loyalty program at scale, Starbucks attempted to create an accessible Web3 community that enabled new ways to engage with members and employees. Was the UX ineffective? Are mainstream consumers disinterested in web3/blockchain tech (and will they ever be interested)? Were the “rewards” insufficient? What’s your perspective?
