The Global Influencer Crackdown: New Advertising Regulations

Across regions, governments are tightening rules on influencer marketing. According to Lawyer Monthly, countries are now enforcing regulations that require influencers to have verifiable credentials, disclose material connections, and adhere to stricter content standards.

Why it matters

The days of influencer marketing governed only by vanity metrics are ending. Brands will likely favor smaller, niche influencers with credible expertise. For legal and marketing teams, due diligence is becoming central: verifying credentials, enforcing disclosure clauses, and auditing content will be critical to avoid regulatory risk. Read more

Today’s Insight

The AI Tools That Are Transforming Market Research

In this HBR article, Korst, Puntoni & Toubia argue that generative AI is fundamentally reshaping how marketers gather, analyze, and act on customer insights. Traditional market research — slow, manual, and expensive — is giving way to AI systems that automate data collection, generate synthetic consumer profiles, and surface insights in real time.

Key Takeaways

  • Speed + Scale: AI lets research teams compress months of work into hours, meaning faster go/no-go decisions.

  • Synthetic Data: Rather than relying solely on real-world panels, firms can generate artificial but statistically valid consumer profiles. These help test scenarios that are expensive or ethically difficult in real life.

  • Continuous Insight Generation: Instead of a one-off survey, AI enables ongoing monitoring — a living feedback loop.

  • New Possibilities: “Digital twins” allow marketers to simulate and experiment in ways that weren’t possible before, reducing risk and guiding strategy.

  • Human + Machine Collaboration: While AI automates analysis, human judgment remains vital — especially to interpret insights, challenge assumptions, and guide strategy.
