I had a thought…

What if we all did one more nice thing every day? Perhaps it’s holding a door or paying for someone else’s coffee. Imagine how much nicer, more vibrant our lives would be. Just a thought…. Anywho, here’s some news for ya!

  • And SNAP! Just like that. Snapchat has 2 new big partners:
    • Snap advertisers can monitor performance, optimize campaigns and events, and sync their product catalogs through BigCommerce.
    • Amazon’s got a hand in Snap-topia, as well. This partnership will allow users to try on different sunglasses. The cool part is that it will be integrated with product pages, so you’ll see real-time prices and if the items go out of stock.
  • When ad-free streaming first came out, many people were relieved to avoid those darned commercial breaks. Now with ad-supported streaming channels like Hulu and Paramount+, we’re back to having ads thrust upon us. This chart from eMarketer indicates TV viewers find these streaming ad breaks more reasonable than live TV but there are limits. E.g., only 46% of Peacock viewers feel the number of ads they see is reasonable.

  • Look up in the clouds: it’s a bird, it’s a plane – no, it’s Google rebranding Data Studio to Looker Studio. The news of this move was announced last month but you may not have realized it until the logo on Data Studio dashboards changed this week. Of course there is going to be a Pro version now too, so looker out for Google to push upgrades.
  • 54% of B2B marketers say they expect to be spending more budget in 2023 in both content creation/strategy and digital marketing categories. Where will they be spending less? Account-based marketing (ABM). Marketing Charts has the full breakdown.
