Chili’s Creates A Nostalgic Marketing Moment to Reach Millennial Customers
Welcome to HubSpot Marketing News! Tap in for campaign deep dives, the latest marketing industry news, and tried-and-true insights from HubSpot’s media team. Chili’s is back with a new commercial, this time served up with a side of nostalgia. The brand’s infamous “I want my baby back ribs” commercials of the Y2K era were classics (the *NSYNC commercial in particular lives rent-free in my head). Now, the restaurant chain is reminiscing on that time period in its latest commercial starring singer Brian McKnight. The ad depicts a waiter named Brian who closely resembles McKnight (but insists he isn’t) serenading his […]

Op-Ed: We Need a New Blueprint for NFT Marketplaces
One of the primary reasons I was drawn to Web3 was the concept of a new ecosystem where creators are fairly compensated for their work. Verifiable ownership of digital assets, on-chain provenance, and the ability to create and record in an immutable way — Web3 has the potential to completely disrupt the wonderful but exploitative industries of art, tech, finance, music, and more.

Despite the current actions of marketplaces, I am confident that, as an industry, we will correct the course and remember why we’re here building this […]
No, NFTs Are Not Just Digital Collectibles
The terms non-fungible token (NFT) and digital collectible are increasingly used interchangeably. Not only is this incorrect, but it’s also reductive. The term “digital collectible” minimizes the potential of NFTs as an architectural software primitive, i.e., as a set of code that can be repurposed to build more sophisticated programs or interfaces. For a reasonably simple analogy, think of NFTs as websites. Anyone with a bit of coding knowledge can create a website. They are “hosted” using a unique identifier (URLs vs. contract addresses), can store and display data (text, images, video), and can execute code to perform desired outcomes. […]
When NFT Projects Die: Lessons From Web3 Failures
The Web3 community knows that situations can turn on a dime. From the fall of FTX to Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover, it has become clear that market volatility isn’t the only thing to be worried about. And all it takes is just one tiny event to set off a chain reaction throughout the NFT space. Oftentimes, this can be a positive thing, like Jack Butcher’s Checks changing the trajectory of open editions. On the other hand, events like February’s demise of the Friendsies collection can mean the inevitable spread of fear throughout the metaverse. Although the NFT space enjoyed a […]
