How to make a new technology a need, not a novelty, when the market already has its favorites.
Why what used to work is breaking, and what's replacing it
Loyalty hasn't died. It has changed shape, raised its standards, and become much harder to earn. The middle is collapsing — brands either earn devotion from a passionate few, or fight for attention in a low-commitment market.
What's changed, what hasn't, and the steps that still separate winners from also-rans. The bar to get started is lower, the bar to break through is higher, and the fundamentals haven't moved an inch.
Marketing agencies are no longer competing on creative horsepower alone. AI has quietly become the lever that separates agencies that deliver from agencies that explain why they couldn’t.
