How CMOs Can Balance AI, Creators And Brand Safety

"As the writer of the Forbes CMO newsletter, my goal is to put together a weekly roundup that helps you do your job better, bringing you news, analysis and conversations that offer the latest insights, information and perspectives. I'd love to know what you think and how I can make this newsletter more useful to you. We put together a brief reader survey looking for your thoughts and recommendations. It should only take a few minutes, and your feedback is invaluable as we chart the course for 2026 and beyond."

"One of Forbes' most anticipated lists is our annual 30 Under 30, where we feature the youngest up-and-comers in a variety of industries. This year's list, which debuted this week, showcases the next generation of influencers, creators and marketers-people who are not only changing the game today, but who will set the tone for messaging to Gen Z and Gen Alpha for years to come. The marketing and advertising honorees feature young leaders who are blending technology with messaging."

"Some who made the list are using messaging to reflect the way that people use technology-like Posh cofounders Avante Price and Eli Taylor-Lemire, who created the event promotion and ticket-selling app used by 6 million people. Others are using AI to re-energize the creative process and quickly do analysis work that humans would spend days on-like Rella cofounders Natalie Barbu, Natacha Bomparte, Connor Boyce and Nick Kane."

A brief reader survey seeks feedback to shape newsletter priorities through 2026. The annual 30 Under 30 list highlights young influencers, creators and marketers poised to set messaging trends for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Marketing and advertising honorees blend technology with messaging across event apps, AI-driven creative tools, and rapid international expansion. Examples include Posh's event app used by six million people, Rella's founders using AI to accelerate analysis and creative work, and SKIMS' Director of Growth expanding the brand from four to 32 countries. Creators are building one-person brands via social media and viral candid videos that reach millions.
