Best Ad of the Week
Always – #LikeAGirl
Launched in June 2014, this campaign asked participants to perform everyday actions “like a girl”—first adults, then young girls—revealing how stereotypes erode confidence at puberty. The film went viral, generating over 90 million views across 150 countries within two months and earning the Titanium Grand Prix at Cannes.
Key marketing lessons:
• Leverage insight to drive narrative: research revealed 72% of girls felt limited at puberty, making the campaign deeply relatable.
• Address universal themes for global impact: the social experiment format resonated across 150 countries, accumulating over 90 million views in two months.
• Mobilize social conversation with a hashtag: inviting audiences to share experiences under #LikeAGirl transformed viewers into advocates, extending the campaign’s reach organically.

Latest Trends and News
AI Spotlight at Cannes Lions
At the 2025 Cannes Lions Festival, AI moved from theory to practice. Qualcomm showcased “Writer” to cut hours of manual work, Meta unveiled new AI ad-creation tools for small businesses, and Havas introduced interactive AI “teammates” without cutting staff—underscoring that human creativity still drives impact.
TikTok Symphony Unveiled
TikTok rolled out Symphony’s Image-to-Video feature, transforming static assets into five-second, TikTok-first clips via a simple image and text prompt. Agencies can stitch these clips into engaging ads, boosting creative firepower without complex editing software.
GA4’s Engaged Sessions
Google Analytics 4 replaced “bounce rate” with AI-driven Engaged Sessions, offering deeper insights into user behavior. This metric tracks active engagement—scrolling, clicks, conversions—enabling marketers to fine-tune content and targeting based on genuine interaction rather than mere page views.

The best marketing ideas come from marketers who live it.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.

Because marketing shouldn’t feel like guesswork. And you shouldn’t have to dig for the good stuff.
Weekly Tip
Behavioral Segmentation
Segment your audience by their actions rather than demographics. When you group people based on what they do—like opening emails, visiting specific pages, or adding items to cart—you can deliver far more relevant messages.
A few steps to get started:
• Define key behaviors (e.g., first-time visitors, repeat buyers, cart abandoners)
• Craft targeted content that addresses each segment’s interests and needs
• Automate triggered workflows so each group receives timely follow-ups
Focusing on behavior boosts relevance and engagement. Even simple segmentation often yields significantly higher open and click-through rates.
Weekly Challenge
Carousel Story Sprint
Map out a mini-tutorial or narrative across five slides and share it as a carousel:
• Brainstorm a topic that benefits from step-by-step visuals
• Sketch a simple outline for each of the five slides
• Design and post your carousel, guiding viewers through the story
• Include a clear prompt on the final slide (vote, comment or save)
• After 48 hours, review swipe-through rate and saves to gauge interest
Use insights to refine your next carousel and boost on-page engagement.
