Jonathan Singer reposted thisJonathan Singer reposted thisIn luxury hospitality, you can't win on price. You win by becoming the only option for a very specific type of person. Nobody hesitates between Cheval Blanc and Lanserhof. One guest travels for beauty, taste and pleasure. The other travels to optimise their biology. Both are paying the same nightly rate. That's not a coincidence, that's positioning. Here are 10 brands that understand this perfectly: Capella Hotels and Resorts: The Hospitality Obsessive. Luxury is not the room. It's how deeply they understand you. This guest has stayed everywhere. They only remember the hotels that knew them before they introduced themselves. Mandarin Oriental: The Seasoned Traveller. Stopped exploring. Started returning. They stopped comparing hotels a long time ago. When they need to be somewhere important, Mandarin is simply where they stay. The Peninsula Hotels: The Diplomat. Luxury without performance. Moves through global capitals effortlessly. The lobby is a meeting room. The suite is where they decompress between the things that actually matter. Jumeirah: The Luxury Explorer. Chooses experiences over consistency. They don't want the same hotel in a different city. They want a new experience every time. The variety across the portfolio is the whole point for this guest. One&Only Resorts: The Once In A Lifetime Guest. Calls every trip unrepeatable. Books the next one for next year. They genuinely believe every trip is a one-off. It never is. Different destination, same person, every single year. Lanserhof Group: The Biohacker. Hospitality for the longevity-obsessed. Where Bryan Johnson followers go on vacation. The minibar has been replaced by a metabolic panel. Cheval Blanc: The Sophisticated Bon Vivant. Travels through beauty, taste and pleasure. The aesthetics matter as much as the address. LVMH built it that way on purpose. Every detail of every property is treated like a couture object. The guest expects nothing less. Raffles Hotels & Resorts: The Heritage Seeker. Travels through history, elegance and story. They didn't book a hotel. They booked a building that was there before their grandparents were born. Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts: The Glamour Elite. Luxury designed around allure and influence. The hotel is an extension of how they dress, who they know, and how they want to be seen arriving. Auberge Collection: The Slow Luxury Traveller. Travels to feel grounded again. They leave their phone in the room. They buy wine from the vineyard next door. The agenda is the absence of one. The nightly rate can be very similar and yet the guest has nothing in common. That's the whole game. Which archetype are you as a traveller? And which one is missing from this list?

Jonathan Singer shared thisAPPROVED ✅Jonathan Singer shared thisMost C-suite tables are about to redesign the CMO role. The question is whether CMOs lead that redesign or get repositioned by it. For thirty years, CMOs have been promoted further away from the only job that ever mattered. Campaign coordination. Platform management. Agency-of-agencies juggling. Dashboards on dashboards. The operational surface area of the role grew until the strategic core got squeezed out. That is now reversing. As coordination, execution, and analytics collapse into the AI layer, the CMO role can be returned to the question it was built around in the first place: what is the strongest possible message we can put in front of our customers? But returning to that core is not automatic. It requires the CMO to actively redesign the function, before the CFO, the COO, or the board redesigns it for them. I have spent a decade on both sides of this redesign question, working at or with the tech companies such as Meta, Google, Microsoft, etc. What I have seen consistently, from both seats, is this: the dominant industry advice over the last decade pushed marketing toward lower ROI and brand deterioration. AI does not fix that. AI amplifies it. A thousand AI-generated creatives at diminishing cost. Direct outreach on autopilot. Personalisation at infinite scale. The numbers are already clear: declining long-term ROI and weaker brand metrics. We are also in the early stages of a Trust Recession. People are more sceptical of what they see and hear, and AI video is multiplying the noise. A brand pushing out a thousand different messages is not breaking through. It is the noise. One clear idea, with unique execution, is still the only way through. Classic argument. The data still backs it up. That does not let CMOs off the redesign hook. The current set-up is wasteful. 2024 marked a low point in working media as a percentage of total spend. More money than ever went to setup, advice, coordination, and execution. Less than ever actually bought the reach and frequency that move sales and brand metrics. The 2026 to 2027 redesign is not about more AI creatives. It is about one canonical idea, brand-consistent executions, the right humans and agencies to deliver it, and AI handling the coordination and execution layer underneath. That is the redesign that protects the role. And it returns the CMO to the work only the CMO can do. I have written a 20-page report on what AI-amplified marketing looks like at the operating model level, including the 20 most common ways the redesign fails and the 5 things the marketers who get it right are doing differently. Comment MARKETING below and I will send it across. Curious how the CMOs and senior marketing operators in this Group are seeing it from the inside: are you being given the space to lead this redesign, or is the redesign happening to your function without your hand on the wheel? Follow me for weekly insights on AI, leadership, and the Turbulent Decade. #Marketing #AI #CMO

Jonathan Singer reposted thisJonathan Singer reposted this🏨Reframing Luxury Hospitality Segmentation Through a Market Perception Lens🏩 That visual categorization of luxury hotel brands into three tiers, Ultra Luxury Houses, Global Luxury Leaders, together with Luxury Hotel Brands, provides an interesting yet inherently subjective perspective on positioning across the sector. While not grounded in an industry standardized framework, it reflects prevailing perceptions shaped by pricing power, guest experience, portfolio scale, plus brand narrative. Within Tier I, names such as Airelles, Aman, Capella, Cheval Blanc, Dorchester Collection, Oetker Collection, Rosewood, Royal Mansour, Singita, Soneva are grouped under an ultra luxury label. This classification broadly aligns with their emphasis on privacy, highly individualized service, distinct design language, as well as strong sense of place. However, a minor correction is worth noting, brands such as Rosewood often operate with scale characteristics closer to global luxury peers, whereas Bulgari Hotels and Resorts, placed in Tier III, frequently competes within the ultra luxury pricing and asset quality spectrum. Tier II brings together Belmond, COMO, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Maybourne, One and Only, Raffles, Rocco Forte, Six Senses, The Peninsula. This group reflects operators balancing brand reach with experiential depth. Still, nuance is required, One and Only together with Six Senses often align more closely with ultra luxury experiential positioning rather than scaled global luxury, highlighting the fluid boundaries between tiers. Tier III includes Auberge Resorts Collection, Bulgari Hotels and Resorts, Montage, Park Hyatt, The Ritz Carlton, Shangri La, St Regis, Taj Hotels, Oberoi Hotels and Resorts, Waldorf Astoria. While these brands benefit from strong distribution, heritage, plus operational consistency, several within this group, notably Auberge, Oberoi, also Bulgari, command positioning that exceeds a conventional entry point into luxury. From a strategic standpoint, the graphic underscores a key industry reality, segmentation within luxury hospitality is increasingly perception driven rather than structurally defined. Factors such as ownership model, geographic footprint, service philosophy, together with guest expectations introduce variability that resists rigid classification. Ultimately, such tiering should be interpreted as a directional snapshot of market sentiment rather than a definitive hierarchy, useful for discussion, yet requiring careful contextualization when applied to brand strategy or investment analysis.

Jonathan Singer reposted thisJonathan Singer reposted thisGlobal Brand Influence Across Nations: Perception, Positioning and Reality Looking at a visual overview highlighting „the most famous brand from every country” offering a lens into how corporate identity, economic specialization, plus global perception intersect at national level. While not based on a standardized or empirical ranking, the selection broadly reflects commonly associated flagship brands rather than definitively measured global leaders. The United States is represented by Apple, reinforcing its role in shaping consumer technology ecosystems as well as digital lifestyles. The United Kingdom’s Rolls-Royce symbolizes engineering prestige, although companies such as Shell or Unilever arguably possess broader global visibility. France’s Louis Vuitton illustrates the continued strength of luxury branding, whereas Italy’s Ferrari plus Germany’s Mercedes-Benz emphasize Europe’s leadership in high-performance automotive manufacturing. Across Asia, Japan’s Toyota together with South Korea’s Samsung demonstrate industrial scale as well as technological excellence. China’s TikTok or Douyin reflects digital platform influence, though alternatives such as Huawei or Alibaba remain equally significant depending on the metric applied. India’s Tata highlights diversified industrial capability combined with longstanding institutional credibility. Energy-driven economies are represented through Gazprom in Russia, Aramco in Saudi Arabia, alongside Petronas in Malaysia. These organizations dominate financially, yet their consumer-facing recognition varies significantly across regions. In parallel, companies such as IKEA from Sweden, LEGO from Denmark, also Nestlé from Switzerland underline how design, consumer goods, plus operational scale translate into sustained global awareness. Several entries reflect strong regional rather than global prominence. Dangote in Nigeria, Safaricom in Kenya, together with MTN in South Africa exemplify leadership within emerging markets, although their recognition outside these regions remains limited. Similar considerations apply to Viettel in Vietnam or Azam in Tanzania. Aviation brands including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Qantas, alongside Ethiopian Airlines demonstrate how connectivity, service quality, plus geographic positioning contribute to international visibility. Consumer-centric brands such as Zara, Red Bull, Shell, plus Waze further highlight the importance of distribution, branding strategy, together with user-focused innovation. This overview ultimately illustrates perception as much as reality. Brand prominence emerges not solely from scale, but from relevance, adaptability, as well as resonance across markets. At the same time, it underscores the importance of distinguishing between global recognition, regional dominance, plus sector-specific leadership when interpreting such comparisons.

Jonathan Singer shared thisWelcome to the party! There’s a handful of us agency folks that have been preaching & producing exactly this since 2004. Very cool how the pendulum swings and the brand experience dominates. They may forget what we say, but they will never forget how we made them feel.Jonathan Singer shared thisWe’ve spotted some interesting things happening in experiential retail lately, and it’s not about bigger builds or louder visuals. It’s about movement. Across fashion, beauty and lifestyle, brands are moving away from static installations and towards environments that demand participation. Not just creating content to be photographed and forgotten - these spaces ask people to play, sweat, compete….and linger. Brands like Burberry, Tiffany & Co., Estée Lauder, Golden Goose, JACQUEMUS and Jo Malone London have all jumped on the same bandwagon of creating immersive experiences that unlock activity. And less surprisingly - lululemon even opened their own Tennis Club. They’ve all sensed that when people move, something deeper happens. Participation creates a memory. You don’t just remember what you saw, you remember how it felt to be there. Who you were with. How long you stayed. Why you’d go back. Pop ups used to be about exposure. Now they’re about behaviour. Hosting, entertaining and creating reasons to return. Turning a campaign into a place, and a place into a habit. Not every game builds a community though. Not every court earns repeat visits. Novelty wears off fast if the activity isn’t culturally credible, socially rewarding, or aligned with what the brand actually stands for. In basic terms - these brands have to treat play as strategy - not just spectacle. Creating experiences that people want to build into their lives, not just their camera rolls. Let’s just watch what others do in World Cup year too. It seems that the future of experiential retail isn’t louder - but more physical. More human. And far harder to fake. #brand #branding #brandactivation #experiential

The night we dress up, see each other, and see which work... worked! It was one short year ago that after a four-year term as Board Chair I happily (and with a bit of melancholy, as evidenced here) handed the wheel to the much-more-capable Karina Wilsher, and took on my new role as Board Chair of Effie LIONS Foundation. I have tremendous gratitude for all that Effie has given me -- and given our industry as the global standard bearer for marketing effectiveness -- and for the work I now get to do to help secure a future marketing industry full of humans who are truly reflective of the big broad world to whom we market. Thank you.

Jonathan Singer reacted on thisA big thanks to Philip Meyer and the Rosewood Sand Hill team for pulling this off! Definitely more to come!Jonathan Singer reacted on thisWe believe the next wave of luxury growth is entering a transformative moment. AI empowers our people to deepen relationships, sharpen insight, anticipate needs with greater precision, and elevate experiences in ways that feel seamless and genuinely human. In luxury hospitality, innovation should be invisible — scaling intuition without ever losing intimacy. With the proximity to Silicon Valley and access to tech innovation, the Hospitality 2030 Hackathon was hosted this past weekend at Rosewood Sand Hill. We were proud to see our property and leadership team, including Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotel Group, and Philip Meyer, Regional Vice President and Managing Director of Rosewood Sand Hill, collaborate alongside more than 100 technology builders to reimagine hospitality through AI. Tech builders developed functional prototypes tailored to the hospitality environment, creating meaningful opportunities to accelerate our Group’s enterprise-wide AI strategy. Initiated by Kevin Yung, the collaboration reflects Rosewood Capital Ventures' commitment to supporting transformative technologies and visionary founders shaping the future of travel and hospitality. Thank you to Cerebral Valley, Greycroft, Anthropic, and ElevenLabs for convening an exceptional community of builders, designers, and creative thinkers to help shape the tools of tomorrow. #RosewoodHotelGroup #Hackathon #Innovation

Jonathan Singer reacted on thisJonathan Singer reacted on thisShorty Awards shared this moment from the stage 🥹 Mark Cuban’s intro and my acceptance speech for Creator Advocate of The Year (could've been shorter, but I guess 2026 is the year of extra LOL). I’m still reflecting on a really special week. It's easy to go back to the grind and work toward the next thing, but trying to sit with this one. It's been a while since I've won anything. After starting What's Trending in 2011 and the momentum of that, we won a bunch of awards and then it was heads down in the work and just staying afloat. 15 years later, I've been through a lot, and it's really nice to see those experiences (good and not so ideal tbh) lead to something that feels especially purpose driven for me with Creators 4 Mental Health and the advocacy/policy work. Grateful for everyone's extremely supportive comments and love. I'll be keeping this as a reminder on the harder days. Thank you! 🙏❤️

Jonathan Singer liked thisJonathan Singer liked thisIt’s a fact that the Luxury Goods Industry lost tens of millions of customers in the last few years. It keeps blaming itself. True. Mistakes were made. Yet, the top Luxury Goods brands such as Hermès, Cartier and Brunello Cucinelli, keep proving that exclusivity, innovation and, most importantly, RELATIONSHIP MASTERY, work. Because The Luxury Institute, LLC continually conducts empirical research, we see and live what is happening at the front lines across all segments. We found those 40+ million lost clients—across all ages and levels of wealth—spending at the top health clubs, spas, wellness centers, cosmetic clinics, and premium and luxury resorts. It’s the new identity flex. Gen Z’s are all in. Across all levels of wealth and across all generations, consumers changed their priorities and spending. That’s the root cause for the crisis in Luxury Goods. The Wellness and Healthy Longevity sector is scaling furiously across all segments. They need to learn fast from Luxury Goods that that’s precisely when RELATIONSHIP MASTERY breaks down. Or—is never built. • Protocols commoditize fast. Every cutting-edge intervention — cryotherapy, peptides, full-body MRIs, AI diagnostics — becomes standard within 18 months. Every person pursuing wellness — whether spending $40 on a supplement or $40,000 on a longevity retreat — is making a deeply personal investment in their future self. They need deep TRUST. That trust is earned only one way: through the 5 Pillars of Relationship Mastery—delivered simultaneously, at every interaction. • Trustworthiness: Never overpromise. Never sell what the client doesn’t need. Be the professional whose word is the product. • Expertise: Know the proven science. Know the client. Know the intersection. Competence without personalization is a commodity. • Empathy: Understand what this journey means emotionally — not just clinically. The client is a whole human being, not a biomarker set. • Kindness: Make every client feel genuinely valued — not processed. Kindness is the signal of a professional who sees you as a person, not a transaction. • Creativity: Every client’s longevity journey is unique. The professional who solves problems no one else discovered or thought about earns true loyalty. The Luxury Goods Industry needs to decommodify, innovate and rebuild trusted relationships. The Wellness and Longevity Industry needs to learn that its products and services too, will mostly commodify. Faster. Even at the Luxury level. Lasting Trusted Relationships are the major differentiator—especially in the Age of AI. Reach out. (www.luxuryinstitute.com)What Is Longevity Travel?

Jonathan Singer reacted on thisJonathan Singer reacted on thisMontreal reminded us what happens when a brand becomes part of culture, not just part of a race weekend. What began as a plan for 800 attendees and 40 exhibitors at Rue 26 became something much bigger: over 4000 attendees, 86 exhibitors, long lines throughout the evening, and a drone show that lit up the Montreal sky across the city. But the real story wasn’t attendance. It was community. The debut of the Audi Revolut F1 team in Montreal became an immersive and inclusive experience that invited customers, fans, partners, creators, enthusiasts, dealers and the broader Montreal community to be part of the celebration, not simply spectators to it. Across Rue 26, the Audi Turn 1 Club, and the Paddock Club, we watched guests experience moments they’ll never forget: garage tours, paddock access, driver meet-and-greets, incredible racing, and a level of hospitality made possible through the generosity and partnership of the Audi Revolut F1 team. The Canadian debut of the all-new Audi RS 5 was met with overwhelmingly positive reactions from our enthusiast and customer community, reinforcing just how powerful it is when product, culture, and emotion intersect in the right environment. Most importantly, none of this happens without people. To our Audi Canada team, our dealer partners, agency partners, production crews, creators, event staff, exhibitors, Audi AG colleagues, race promoter, and the countless people working behind the scenes for months — thank you. The level of care, collaboration, and execution throughout the weekend was extraordinary. This weekend was a reminder that strong brands are built with communities, not around them. And Montreal showed up in every possible way. #Audi #AudiCanada #F1 #MontrealGP #AudiSport #Community #ExperienceMarketing #AudiRS5 Audi Canada AUDI AG Audi Revolut F1 Team NARRATIVE XPR Right Formula Audi Club North America Ville de Montréal Wesley Canaon Sonal Vohra Luthra (She/Her) Hummayun K.

At PacRim Labs LLC — Today Film financing landscape is undergoing a transformation. Mainstream capital is only now catching up with what independent producers and global storytellers have known: the opportunity in media is real and under-invested. Investors such as my friends at Upstart Co-Lab are calling this out, events like the International Film Finance Forum are validating new models of cross-border structure, tax incentives, and risk-aware production finance. At PacRim Labs LLC, we are positioning the company at the intersection of production, finance, technology and global sourcing— deploying capital into quality pre-sold theatrical and streaming content offering package investors access via well-structured proceeds, security and upside. I believe this is how the next generation of film-fund managers and producers will operate — rigorous finance meets creative vision. A few key differentiators: -Financial discipline and investment structuring -Global production sourcing and incentive optimization -Distribution & sales funnel aligned from day one -Investor-oriented mindset with transparency, oversight and control

#Downtown #Virgin “Virgin Music Group (VMG) announced on Friday (February 20) that it has completed its acquisition of Downtown Music Holdings LLC (Downtown). The closure follows the European Commission’s approval of the deal last Friday (February 13), subject to Universal Music Group‘s commitment to divest Downtown’s #Curve royalty accounting business. UMG’s Virgin Music Group first announced the transaction in December 2024. Alongside the deal’s completion, it was announced that Pieter van Rijn has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of #VMG, having been CEO of Downtown since last year. He will report to co-CEOs Nat Pastor and JT Myers and will continue to be based in Amsterdam. Downtown Founder Justin Kalifowitz confirmed he is stepping away from the company he founded in 2007.

I’m thrilled to share that CashorTrade has officially partnered with Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA. This partnership goes beyond just tickets—it’s about protecting the fan experience while also supporting venues and artists. By making CashorTrade the official secondary marketplace, Sweetwater is ensuring: ✅ Tickets stay in the hands of real fans at face value ✅ Fewer no-shows and chargebacks ✅ Fuller rooms, which means more energy for the artist and increased revenue for the venue through concessions, merch, and beyond We’ve long proven the value of a fair, community-driven secondary market for fans and festivals—and now we’re expanding this program to venues across the country. Sweetwater is an iconic step forward in this journey, and I couldn’t be more proud to grow this partnership program. This is the future of ticketing: fair, transparent, and sustainable for everyone involved.

Everyone is talking about who will win the Warner Bros. Entertainment sale, but we should be talking about who will LOSE. Spoiler: it’s likely you and me. 😮 On last weeks episode of “The Town” podcast hosted by Matthew Belloni, he had veteran Jeff Sagansky on who had a spot on analysis on why the incentives for creatives is now broken, and with that - so goes Hollywood. And he’s right. But there is a solution- support indie creatives and platforms. ❤️ Watch the video for the full analysis. 🎤 #Netflix #Paramount #WB DOCUMENTARY+ :: Dropout :: Free Live Sports

Universal 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗖 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗘's domination of industry awards just months after opening sends the message that strategic patience and massive investment in guest experience delivers undeniable returns. Last Saturday, the themed entertainment world gathered at Carowinds for Amusement Today's 2025 Golden Ticket Awards, and the results revealed some major market shifts. Universal Epic Universe was the undisputed star, sweeping four key categories including 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 (Stardust Racers). But the even bigger story? Universal's 𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗢 𝗕𝗔𝗬 achieved the unthinkable—breaking Schlitterbahn's historic 26-year winning streak for Best Water Park. For those of us tracking industry trends, several strategic insights emerged from the 300+ global professionals in attendance: • Investment Validation at Scale: Epic Universe debuting at #2 for Best Park globally is a powerful proof point for long-term strategic vision. It shows how pre-pandemic planning is creating immediate, post-launch industry dominance. • The Consolidation Effect: Host park Carowinds, now part of Six Flags, maintained its coaster dominance with Fury 325's ninth consecutive win, showcasing that operational excellence can—and must—transcend ownership changes. • Innovation as Competitive Advantage: Universal's "Dark Universe" winning Best New Theme Concept proves that authentic innovation and commitment to immersive storytelling remain the ultimate drivers of industry leadership. • Market Dynamics in Action: When a 26-year streak is broken, it's powerful evidence that no market position is safe.

Warner is reconsidering reopening talks after Paramount Global addressed concerns by agreeing to cover a $2B+ breakup fee owed to Netflix. But the real question isn’t who wins the bidding war. The real question is: What scenario would truly open more doors for independents? As we watch who keeps access to libraries, IP, distribution pipelines — cable, streaming, theatrical windows — we’re not just watching corporate negotiations. We’re watching how studios will be controlled. And that means we’re watching the future of Hollywood. This negotiation will influence: • Who gets financed. • Who gets distribution. • Who gets seen. • And most importantly, what kind of stories get told. If power becomes too centralized, risk tolerance shrinks. If competition remains alive, new voices have leverage. So again: is there space for fresh talent? For first-time directors? For actors without franchise history? For crews outside the system?

Today’s announcement with MIP Markets - MIPCOM, MIPJUNIOR, MIP CANCUN & MIP LONDON around the launch of MIP BrandWorks is bigger than a new conference initiative. It reflects a larger industry inflection point. For years, media, advertising, technology, commerce, creators, and entertainment operated in parallel industries. Now they are converging into a single ecosystem. The rise of digital media, mobile-first vertical viewing, creator platforms, social commerce, AI-powered production workflows, and always-on audience communities is fundamentally changing how content is created, distributed, monetized, and valued. Brands are no longer thinking like sponsors. They are acting like Studios. Creators are no longer distribution extensions. They are becoming Networks and IP businesses. And audiences are no longer passive viewers. They are active Commerce and Community ecosystems. MIP BrandWorks was conceived around this reality, creating a marketplace where brands, agencies, creators, studios, streamers, production companies, AI innovators, and rights holders can develop the next generation of entertainment and brand-funded IP - TOGETHER. Excited to partner with Lucy Smith and the incredible team at RX Global as they continue transforming MIPCOM into the global meeting place for the future of media, storytelling, technology, and entertainment commerce. Special thanks to David Freeman at Kynetic Media Ventures for helping shape the CXO Summit and broader vision around audience ownership, creator networks, and the evolving media economy. The next era of entertainment will not be defined by a single platform or format. It will be defined by connected ecosystems of IP, fandom, commerce, creators, and technology operating together in real time. Join us in building the next era of storytelling, where culture becomes the most powerful platform in business. #MIPCOM #BrandWorks #CreatorEconomy #AI #BrandedContent #SocialCommerce #Media #Entertainment #YouTube #Creators #IP #Advertising #Storytelling #Cannes

The Netflix deal, which includes buying Warner Bros. and HBO Max, is valued at nearly $83 billion. Paramount most recently fielded a $108 billion all-cash offer for the entirety of WBD, including its linear cable channels. By adding $1 to the per-share price, new Paramount proposal comes all-in at approximately $111 billion, including the $33 billion in debt that WBD is shouldering on its books. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eTwtdmmE

Excited to announce our recent collaboration with Sundial Media & Technology Group for the ESSENCE-branded FAST channel. This partnership embodies our commitment to serving underrepresented audiences with authentic content and substantial growth opportunities. The landscape is evolving rapidly, with Black viewership on streaming platforms increasing by 40% annually. Despite this surge, tailored programming for Black women remains limited on major CTV and digital platforms. Our initiative goes beyond filling this void; we are establishing a dedicated cultural hub. By merging ESSENCE's 55-year legacy as the voice of Black women with our production and distribution expertise, we are poised to expand our impact significantly. Partnering with a brand that attracts over 500,000 attendees annually to the largest Black culture festival ensures access to a highly engaged consumer base with proven loyalty and purchasing power. The game-changing aspect lies in our development of direct distribution channels. Ownership of distribution is pivotal as it allows us to deliver genuine content directly to the intended audiences, bypassing intermediaries. This move enables us to seamlessly transition the festival enthusiasm and community spirit into year-round premium content on Connected TV, YouTube, and major FAST platforms. What sets this endeavor apart is our focus on creating sustainable revenue streams for Black women creatives while establishing direct connections with culturally involved and economically active audiences. This isn't merely a channel launch; it's about fostering economic empowerment and steering the narrative from creation to distribution. It's about distribution rooted in and driven by the culture. #StreamingStrategy #Partnership #femalecreators #CTV #DigitalMedia #HARTBEAT #ESSENCE #Distribution Source: [Link to the article](https://lnkd.in/gcqXvr9H)

BRAND SUICIDE AND HOW TO PREVENT IT-A HEAD FOR BUSINESS USA GLOBAL TV® & RADIO PRESENTS A HEAD FOR BUSINESS HOSTED BY DR. JACALYN KERBECK & AL CINI FEATURED GUEST LISA MANYOKY 09 APRIL 2026 EPISODE 2026-03 DESCRIPTION Brand damage rarely happens overnight. It is usually the result of small decisions, ignored signals, and leadership blind spots that compound over time.

This is a direct discussion about how companies lose trust, how fast it can happen, and why recovery is far more difficult than prevention. The conversation also focuses on what leaders must do differently: aligning communication, maintaining brand integrity across every touchpoint, and recognizing early warning signs before reputational damage becomes irreversible. If you are building, scaling, or protecting a brand, this episode addresses the decisions that either strengthen your position—or quietly destroy it. ABOUT DR.

Hollywood's greenlighting model is fundamentally broken. Industry veterans defend studio holdover mandates as essential for giving films time to build an audience. We see this right now with the reported mandates for Tron: Ares. The argument is that theaters must share the burden to reap the rewards of the hits. The reality is that mandates are a symptom of a failed prediction model. Studios transfer the risk of their bad bets directly to independent theater owners. When a film plays to an empty room for two weeks, the studio protects its public image while the local venue burns cash. The theater loses the ability to book local events or indie projects that would actually sell tickets. This happens because studios greenlight projects based on reactive research. Focus groups and surveys only measure passive interest. They do not measure true commitment. We are solving this by shifting the power to the community. On Film.io, fans do not just offer opinions. They stake FAN Tokens to validate the projects they actually want to see. This activity generates a Go Score™, providing studios with undeniable proof of audience demand before a single dollar is spent on production. A theater owner should not be forced to screen a movie. They should want to screen it because the data proves the seats will be full. Mandates are the tool of an industry guessing in the dark. Community validation is the tool that turns the lights on.

Gap Inc.’s appointment of Pam Kaufman as Chief Entertainment Officer is a milestone in a structural shift that’s been building for years. Brands are no longer competing on product alone. They’re competing on story, cultural relevance, and the ability to entertain. What Gap Inc. is doing here is naming what many of us in marketing and media have already felt: Entertainment is now a core business function. This move formalizes a new reality: • Brands must operate like entertainment companies. Not occasionally, structurally. • Storytelling is no longer a campaign tactic; it’s an enterprise strategy. • Content, licensing, partnerships, and cultural IP are growth engines, not “nice-to-haves.” • Owning and producing your own stories is now table stakes. Pam Kaufman’s background spanning global consumer products, media, gaming, live experiences, and cultural storytelling is exactly the kind of multidimensional leadership this moment requires. Marketing and entertainment are finally being recognized as the strategic drivers they’ve always been. Not support functions. Not downstream execution. But the engines of relevance, revenue, and long-term brand value. #BrandEntertainment #MarketingLeadership #StorytellingStrategy #EntertainmentStrategy #BrandBuilding

The recent deal between Penn Entertainment and ESPN has resulted in significant financial losses, wasting millions in spend, time, and energy, ultimately diminishing shareholder value—contrary to the deal's original intent to enhance it. This follows the underwhelming performances of previous partnerships, such as those with Barstool and theScore. Throughout my career, I've frequently heard the "Skybet" model cited as a blueprint for successful media and betting collaborations. However, it's important to note that even Skybet struggled to gain traction in markets like Italy and Germany, and its partnership with Foxbet ended similarly to ESPNbet. The success achieved by Richard Flint and the Skybet team was not instantaneous; it was the result of hard work, dedication, and a strong company culture, coupled with innovative product and marketing strategies. Skybet evolved into a trusted betting and gaming brand, the recreational punters choice. With the termination of the deal, Penn will save $150 million in annual payments to Disney and likely mitigate the substantial operating losses it incurred. This shift allows them to refocus on iGaming and theScore brand. Meanwhile, ESPN's partnership with DraftKings appears to be a more strategic move, albeit less financially rewarding. When considering the "Skybet" model for media and betting partnerships, it's crucial to remember lessons from the failures of ESPNbet, Foxbet, Sunbets, and others that resulted in significant shareholder losses . While media tie-ups can succeed, achieving the level of success of "Skybet" requires true partner integration,exceptional execution and product, leadership and vision along with a sprinkle of luck as noted by the one of the best CEOs in the history of our Industry. "The thing that strikes me is we have had a lot of luck along the way, but our culture and values: focus on the customer and customer experience; non-hierarchical discussion and decision making, willingness to think differently to get over the obstacles – these are the things that have helped us make the most of the luck we have had." Richard Flint CEO SkyBetting and Gaming

Long-term partnerships matter. This collaboration between MACRO and Sony Pictures Entertainment reflects a shared commitment to building a consistent pipeline of films through a combination of creative development, disciplined financing and global distribution. As the market evolves, independent studios will increasingly be defined by how effectively they integrate production, capital and distribution into a cohesive platform - an approach we've believed in for a long time. #stayMACRO https://lnkd.in/gvzM27_J
