Last update: 8 hours agoAI Creative Arms Race: Google’s Gemini Omni is moving multimodal AI from “generate text” to “create video from mixed inputs,” plus simpler photo edits—another push for brands to rethink how campaigns are produced. Retail Media Momentum: Nectar Social just raised $30M to build AI agents for always-on brand conversations, while DeepIntent says CTV can outperform online video for new-to-brand prescriptions when paired with sequential messaging. Platform Shifts in Ads: Netflix is expanding ads further (including Ireland), and Google is also expanding YouTube ad sales—more inventory, more pressure on measurement. Policy & Trust: Seedtag argues contextual targeting is graduating beyond cookie-loss “safety net,” and a new “verified media” push (Digitalage) targets rights and monetization from capture. Local Spend Signals: Home Depot missed on housing-demand softness, while Ontario’s Napanee battery project highlights how infrastructure narratives are becoming marketing-ready.
