This is the published version of Forbes’ CMO newsletter, which offers the latest news for chief marketing officers and other messaging-focused leaders. <\/em>Click here<\/em> to get it delivered to your inbox every Wednesday.<\/em><\/p>\n

Marketing is vital to every business, but as Forbes<\/em>\u2019 Seth Matlins said in his remarks at the Forbes CMO Summit earlier this month, it\u2019s also extremely misunderstood. In recent years, Matlins said, CEOs and CFOs alike have become focused on more short-term results, wanting to see something immediate and quantifiable, instead of trusting their marketing team. And this leads to high ranking execs asking why marketing even exists<\/strong>, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we don’t do a good enough job explaining it, they don’t invest,\u201d Matlins said. \u201cAnd because they don’t invest, a disconnect between marketing’s accountability, resources and authority becomes a chasm, and marketing has less chance to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

In bringing back this weekly CMO newsletter, we at Forbes<\/em> will strive to give you the news and insight you need to demonstrate why your work is so important<\/strong>\u2014to brands and companies, and to the rest of the world. This newsletter, which will deliver every Wednesday, will curate the best of Forbes\u2019<\/em> business stories and profiles, big news stories of the previous week, and conversations with leaders about trends and ideas that are shaping the marketing world.<\/p>\n

I hope that you enjoy the newsletter. Feedback and tips are always welcome. Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n

ECONOMIC IMPACTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While the calendar hasn\u2019t yet hit Halloween, much of the business world is already gearing up for Christmas<\/strong>. After all, according to the National Retail Federation, sales in November and December have been worth about 19% of the annual total for the last five years. Last year, NRF said holiday sales were worth $936.3 billion\u2014an increase of 5.3% over 2021.<\/p>\n

Analysts are beginning to make projections for this holiday season, and despite inflation weighing on consumer pocketbooks, they\u2019re looking merry and bright<\/strong>. ICSC, the trade group representing malls, shopping centers and other marketplaces, is predicting total spending to be $1.6 trillion, with retail sales growing 3.8%, and food and beverage spending up 7.6%. Adobe Analytics forecasts $221.8 billion will be spent online.<\/p>\n

But outside of the optimistic spending projections, some dark clouds loom<\/strong>. Accenture\u2019s Annual Holiday Shopping Survey found six in 10 consumers are already cutting back on gift giving due to budget constraints, and more than half have agreed not to exchange gifts with other adults.<\/p>\n

Americans are still shopping, however. American Express and Visa beat Wall Street estimates for profits<\/strong>\u2014largely due to higher interest rates that consumers are running up on their cards as they go on spending.<\/p>\n

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As interest in AI for all industries increases, the technology is finding a foothold in marketing<\/strong>. A recent study from consumer engagement platform Twilio shows that 88% of businesses are already using AI for marketing. More than a third are using predictive AI to tailor their marketing, building models to predict customers\u2019 propensity to upgrade to new products.<\/p>\n

Starboard CEO Ryan Coyne said AI is likely to find a niche in hyper-targeted political advertising<\/strong>. The technology can send more personalized emails to people based on political beliefs they have shared online, as well as content they have engaged with. However, major AI players, led by Inflection CEO Mustafa Suleyman, are working toward a consensus to prohibit AI from creating political content or telling people who to vote for, Forbes\u2019<\/em> Rashi Shrivastava wrote.<\/p>\n

Twilio\u2019s research found 54% of companies expect to spend more on AI-powered campaigns<\/strong> in the coming year. And tech providers are preparing for them. Software giant Adobe touted its new generative AI services at its Adobe Max user conference earlier this month. The company is developing its generative AI to help marketers meet increasing social media demands, tailoring messages to specific audiences and platforms.<\/p>\n

RIGHTS + SPONSORSHIP<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While TV is important for messaging, today it\u2019s nowhere near as crucial as it once was<\/strong>. Media industry analyst Brian Wieser projects that the overall inventory for TV advertising will drop by 24% between now and 2027, including both traditional and streaming platforms. That means it will take careful strategy for messages to reach the right audiences.<\/p>\n

While the NBA just tipped off its 2023-24 season this week, the changing dynamic between traditional broadcast rights and streaming is about to come to center court<\/strong>. The league\u2019s current agreement expires at the end of the 2024-25 season, and it\u2019s been speculated that traditional TV networks\u2014including Disney\u2019s ESPN\/ABC and Warner Brothers Discovery\u2019s TNT\u2014will want to scale back on the games they broadcast. But a collection of streaming services are likely to want to show more to their viewers, highlighting the power of the sport\u2019s widely distributed audience.<\/p>\n

DEEP DIVE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Isaac Hayes III Built A Social Media App For The Future Of TV \u2014 Microcasting. Here\u2019s His Plan<\/h3>\n

Isaac Hayes III knows that the first thing people will notice is his name. His father was the iconic R&B producer and singer most known for writing the theme music from the 1971 flick \u201cShaft\u201d and voicing the Chef character on \u201cSouth Park.\u201d<\/p>\n

But this generation\u2019s Isaac Hayes is setting his sights on the television of tomorrow<\/strong>, Forbes\u2019<\/em> Jabari Young reports. Fanbase, the software company Hayes launched in 2018, works with content creators to monetize their names and influence. Hayes wants Fanbase to top BlackPlanet, one of the original social media platforms built by Black voices in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Fanbase has more than 400,000 users, Hayes told Forbes<\/em>. It\u2019s raised more than $10 million\u2014mainly through crowdfunding\u2014and Hayes estimates the company\u2019s current worth at $85 million<\/strong>, with revenues from subscriptions and transaction fees associated with user engagement. It isn\u2019t profitable yet, but Hayes said he\u2019s ready to take on more entrenched social media platforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can build everything that Facebook can build,\u201d Hayes said. \u201cI know that the core and the energy of social media is kids and Black culture. Without that, [social media] doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

FACTS + COMMENTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

YouTube is ramping up its global campaign against ad blockers<\/strong>, with new waves of users getting a pop-up window telling them the blockers are not allowed on the service. The Google-owned streaming service explains ads help keep YouTube free.<\/p>\n

$13.99: <\/strong> Monthly cost for YouTube Premium, which lets viewers watch without ads<\/p>\n

\u2018Ads support a diverse ecosystem of creators\u2019: <\/strong>A YouTube spokesperson\u2019s explanation of the blocker ban.<\/p>\n
