🤝 Why Meta Sees Incrementality as the Future of Measurement
Meta is pushing incrementality testing as the next step in measurement, beyond traditional attribution models. Rather than just assigning credit to clicks or touchpoints, incrementality asks: how much lift did a campaign add beyond what would have happened anyway?
Why it matters
It shifts the narrative: from “which touchpoint did the work?” to “did the campaign do anything extra at all?”
In privacy-constrained environments (less tracking data), incrementality offers robustness.
Budget allocation may change: channels with stronger lift performance (even if lower “clicks”) may be rewarded.
Marketers need to understand test design, holdout groups, and incrementality frameworks. Read more.
🙌 Are Digital Ads the Enemy of Advertising?
An opinion piece in Fast Company argues that the digital ad ecosystem is so saturated, formulaic, and constrained that it stifles creativity and innovation. The article suggests the systems (ad platforms, algorithms) are limiting what ads can do, undermining brand-building potential. It questions whether digital ads have become too safe, too optimized, and too predictable, losing emotional or cultural resonance.
Why It Matters
Creative differentiation may become a more important lever than media optimization.
If algorithmic constraints dominate, brand marketers must find new spaces or formats to break through.
The tension between performance metrics and brand storytelling is sharpened.
Marketers should experiment with formats that allow more expression (content, native, experiential). Read more.
🏷️ South Florida Ultra-Luxury Sales Approach New Records
Ultra-luxury real estate in South Florida is nearing record levels. The region is on track for its second-highest year ever in the ultra-high-end market. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach have already logged hundreds of $10M+ home sales in 2025.
Why It Matters
For luxury brand marketers, this signals strength in a high-margin, high-aspiration audience segment.
Advertising to ultra-high-net-worth individuals requires more nuance: privacy, prestige, experience.
Storytelling, exclusivity, and emotional resonance become key levers.
Brands in real estate, auto, yachting, art, luxury travel, etc., should watch for shifting demand and behaviors in this tier. Read more.

💡 Today’s Insight
How to Win Over Generation Z?
Generation Z views trust, privacy, and identity differently than previous generations. According to Marketing4Ecommerce, 38 % of Gen Zers trust the personal data they share with social media platforms — nearly the same as those who trust government institutions. They’re less concerned about “traditional” private data (like phone numbers) and more worried about being profiled or stereotyped based on behavior, shopping history, or identity.
Key Takeaways
Be transparent about how you use data — Gen Z cares about identity, bias, and profiling.
Collaborate with creators/influencers — they act as credible voices and bridges.
Show your values — authenticity matters more than polished branding.
Be adaptable — culture shifts fast; brands must stay responsive.
Don’t treat trust as given — it must be earned and maintained.
