As the summer draws to a close, it’s safe to say it hasn’t been a quiet one. From CEO departures, trials and agency changes — not only has there not been a dull moment since Cannes Lions, the busy period has never stopped.Which is why, before we head into the final stretch of the year, we asked top execs across platforms and agencies to recommend some good page-turners, in a bid to unwind and unplug or learn something new — to escape the laptops, deadlines and Slack notifications just for a minute. If you’re in need of a moment to…

Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone is beginning to look very real, and if the latest leak is anything to go by, it could feature a dramatic redesign of the physical buttons, camera module, and internal structure. On a regular iPhone, you’ll find the volume controls on the left frame and the power button (with Touch ID) on the right frame. However, on the iPhone Fold, you might see the volume controls on the top right, similar to the button placement on the iPad mini. Why Apple may be moving all the buttons to one side So, someone who has already used…

Wanda Gierhart Fearing, Cinemark’s chief marketing and content officer, has a unique lens through which to view the film industry — as a longtime retail executive. Fearing, who previously wore the hat of CMO at Neiman Marcus and Limited Brands, joined Cinemark in 2018 and navigated the company’s marketing through several years of difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which brought filmmaking to a standstill and challenged theater chains. Things are now looking up for the Texas-based company and the film industry as a whole. For the first half of the year, the company reported about $1.5 billion in total…

For years, the concept of a foldable iPhone has felt a bit like Bigfoot – everyone claims to have seen signs of it, but actual proof has been scarce. We have watched Samsung and Google iterate on their foldables generation after generation, while Apple has sat on the sidelines, presumably waiting until they could get the formula exactly right. Well, if the latest whispers from the supply chain are to be believed, that wait might finally be nearing its end, and Apple isn’t just planning to join the party; they are planning to crash it with the biggest battery we…

The creator economy is growing into a fully formed media channel — complete with dedicated ad spend and marketing playbooks. But according to seven influencer marketing experts, the creator economy has measurement issues that could stunt its further growth. Measurement fragmentation, lagging price standardization and inconsistent attribution hold it back from becoming a true media channel like TV, paid social, programmatic or search. “Legit marketers are pouring a lot of money in [influencer marketing]. With that comes the expectation of measurement and returns and business outcomes,” said Megan Boveri, chief media officer at Pinnacle advertising and marketing group. Over the past…

What’s happened? If you thought the news around RAM and SSD prices surging couldn’t get any worse, well, do we have some worse news for you. Micron has officially announced that it will exit the Crucial consumer business, marking the end of one of the most recognizable names in PC memory and storage for everyday buyers. The decision means Micron will no longer sell RAM and SSDs to consumers under the Crucial brand, even though Micron will continue making memory for enterprise, data centers, and AI customers. For PC users, this is less about corporate strategy and more about losing…

Apple may be setting up a familiar kind of price hike, one that doesn’t look like a price hike. By changing the entry storage option, it can raise what you pay to get the model you want. Last fall, Apple discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro model with 128GB of storage. Buyers who wanted that Pro had to start at 256GB instead, which meant paying $100 more up front. That matters for iPhone storage pricing because it changes the baseline, not just the premium choices. You’re no longer deciding whether extra space is worth it, you’re being moved into it. An…
