Here are the most popular AI video tools that are actually worth your time
My son and I were recently watching some AI-generated videos when he suddenly stopped and asked, “Wait… none of these are real?” That pause perfectly sums up where we stand with AI video tools right now. We‘ve reached the point where even a casual viewer has to take a step back and consider if what they’re seeing is real or AI. But, not all tools propel viewers past the uncanny valley. Having spent years in Silicon Valley watching AI startups rise and fall, I‘ve learned that the tech that looks impressive in demos doesn’t always translate to real-world utility. For […]
Six simple behavioral science tips to improve any marketing message (and the brands that get it right)
Do you ever look at an ad and wonder, “What on earth does that mean?” That’s how I felt after viewing this Stripe ad. Source Now, I love Stripe. Their product is tremendous in the world of payment processing, but this ad makes no sense. Not only is it confusing, but it’s missing all the elements that I think make for a good ad. The ad needs a refresh, and behavioral science can help. Since starting the Nudge podcast, I’ve regularly interviewed researchers and other experts in order to glean insights from psychology and apply them to marketing. And over […]
Secrets of savable content: How to create content buyers come back for
Like, comment, share. This used to be the holy trinity of social media engagement, but savable content has emerged as a new contender in recent years. Think about it. What kind of things do you save? If you’re like me, it’s photos of people and moments you don’t want to forget, maybe a ticket stub from a concert, or a shell from your favorite beach. And, of course, we all try to save money and time. We save things we consider important — things we want easy access to in the future. The same rings true of savable content or […]
How to get AI to write copy in your brand voice — from picking the right platform to training your GPT
When generative AI first came out, I was skeptical. While it came up with some good ideas, I saw it more as a novelty than a real copywriting tool. Honestly, I didn’t believe “great” and “on-brand AI copywriting” would ever belong in the same sentence. To be clear, I still see my own brain and approach as a competitive advantage. That hasn’t changed, but two things have shifted: First, AI algorithms have become more advanced and intuitive, making it easier to get better output. Second, I’ve learned how to train AI tools in my voice and perspective consistently enough that […]

How to prepare for, navigate, and thrive through summer slumps — according to marketing experts
Every summer, a familiar shift hits marketing teams. Engagement cools, inboxes slow, and campaign results taper off just as internal pressure starts to heat up. Clients pause new projects. Content calendars fill with refreshes and lighter lifts. And whether you’re in-house or freelance, it can feel like you’re sprinting in place. As a content strategist for B2B SaaS companies, I’ve seen this cycle enough times to know it’s usually seasonal. Audiences pull back. Priorities change. And attention spans get stretched thin by travel, time off, and a general tilt toward rest. But this year’s slump may feel heavier. Between tariffs, […]
Keeping up is exhausting, here’s how one social media creator helps brands beat trend fatigue
How’s your cottagecore vibe? Are you ready for light academia aesthetic to dominate your feed or for the next generative-AI action figure trend? Fashion trends used to spin in 20-year cycles, but there is no playbook anymore. Microtrends peak, then disappear in weeks or even days. It’s a never-ending cycle of trying to keep up with culture, and I’m exhausted. Just 53% of marketers say they’re confident they can keep up with new cultural trends. Here’s how trend fatigue is affecting marketing, plus my take on how to figure out which trends to chase — and which to let pass. […]
Make space for customers to see their business as part of yours
I love talking to creative people because they always notice details that I don’t. Like today’s master in marketing, who saw a boost in impressions from one tiny, seemingly insignificant detail: when their photo model bent their knee. Today’s master in marketing isn’t proposing — but she does have some proposals to consider. Meet the Master Grace Wells Grace Wells works with brands like Huckberry, Soleil Toujours, and Fur as a creative strategist and director Lesson 1: Share data between your paid and organic channels. Oil and water. Hatfields and McCoys. Paid and organic. They rarely mix, and in at […]
In a feature-parity world, it’s all about your brand — here’s how your startup can nail it in the first 100 days
Let’s say you‘re the CMO of a scrappy startup, and you’ve got limited (or no) budget. You’ve got no name recognition, and no time to waste. So, where do you start to make the biggest impact? Brand. I’ve seen this firsthand. I helped build Drift into a category-defining brand and turned my company, Exit Five, into a seven-figure media business. If I were starting from zero today, I wouldn’t wait. I’d go all-in on brand from day one. Here’s my approach to building a brand in your first 100 days, before you have money or traction. Let’s dive in. Why […]
