During the month of March, international visits to the U.S. declined 14% year over year, according to the U.S. Travel Association, which also found, if the decline is maintained throughout the year, the U.S. will see a $21 billion loss in “travel-related exports.”For marketers in the travel and tourism space, the effects of that drop will depend on how reliant they are on international travel. Agency executives say that the marketers who are more…

Media agency network GroupM was once the market’s apex predator — and the engine room of industry giant WPP.The London-headquartered holding company still looks to its media business to power a long-term return to commercial growth following years of drift. But in the words of WPP boss Mark Read, the media network is going through “a tough time” and sits “at the mercy of the markets”. Turning that around will become an even more critical task in a year when new business opportunities might be harder to find, and when the holding company world is consolidating. “The big six are…

Google recently refreshed Gemini‘s web interface, introducing a new “My Stuff” hub to make it easier for users to find their images, videos, and other creations.

If you were to sum up the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency — a milestone we just passed on April 30 — with one word you’d likely use “uncertain” to do so. And for marketers, well, uncertainty is toxic.There’s been an expectation of chaos this time around, but that expectation doesn’t make the reality any easier to manage — it’s hard for marketers not to get caught in the slipstream of President Trump’s economic — specifically on tariffs — policy whiplash.  So far it’s been a matter of figuring out what his policies are affecting when it comes to…

YouTube just added a new parental control that lets you put a hard limit on how long a supervised teen account can scroll Shorts. If you’re trying to rein in swipe fatigue without banning the app, this is a direct YouTube Shorts time limit for teens, built around the feed itself. The timer is available now, and YouTube says it’s also working on a setting that lets you set the Shorts feed limit to zero. That’s the closest thing to a Shorts off switch for times when you want YouTube for homework videos or subscriptions, not endless scrolling. Some important…

The 4A’s has overhauled the Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP) and Vanguard — two of the marketing industry’s cornerstone diversity initiatives, revamping the curriculum for both and expanding access to applicants. It’s a push for more inclusivity, per the non-profit foundation, in response to industry demand.
