"There's been a lot buzz around this term 'brandformance.' We're experiencing this next wave in advertising where brands are leveraging mid and lower funnel commerce signals to inform both brand marketing and creative strategies.

'As a citizen, as a parent, as a grandparent and as a human being, these are the things I need to be true for the world.'"
"We're starting to see more fractional CMOs, and from a business development standpoint, we're focusing on former agency colleagues who have transitioned to the client side in these roles.
