By Jessica Davies For much of the past year, publishers have been playing defense against AI scraping and copyright uncertainty. But heading into 2026, some see reasons to believe the ground is finally starting to move a little more in their favor.

The Financial Times was the first U.K.-based publisher to strike a licensing deal with OpenAI in 2024. It has yet to agree to terms with another consumer LLM, but Matt Rogerson, FT’s director of global public policy and platform strategy, believes 2026 will bring a kind of reset as big tech companies alter their stance on AI licensing to avoid future legal risk. And he believes AI scraping is reaching a new phase.

“Every publisher has spent the last two years trying to close down all the loopholes, or perceived loopholes, in their website securities,” he said. “There are still gaps. There’s still really no big enough stick to stop entrepreneurs from using scraping for higher platforms to try and get behind paywalls and then scrape content from publisher sites. But I think that the net is tightening [around AI scraping].”Continue reading this article on digiday.com.

By Seb Joseph CES functioned less as a turning point than a temperature check for the ad industry.

Behind the stage demos and glossy AI announcements, the advertising industry arrived in Las Vegas with a quieter set of questions than previous years. Q4 held up better than feared but not well enough to justify old certainties. Budgets remained cautious. Flexibility continued to beat commitments. Linear dollars kept leaking into CTV, retail media and data-rich platforms. And the promise of automation — once sold as a cure-all — is now colliding with a more unforgiving arbiter: the CFO.This is a member-exclusive article from Digiday.

By Lee Odden The current state of B2B marketing is at a pretty important crossroads. In an environment of infinite content and eroding trust, simply being “visible” isn’t enough.
To win in 2026, means moving beyond simply creating more content and showing up in feeds. It means better understanding the questions from the entire buyer group and delivering the most meaningful and credible answers where buyers are looking. It also means growing credibility such that your brand becomes the first choice before anyone ever contacts sales.
To help B2B companies go from being lost amongst a sea of sameness to becoming the best answer for their customers, we do our best to walk the talk by creating distinct and useful content. That perspective is a driving force behind the purpose of the Beyond B2B Marketing podcast: to help our audience of B2B marketers bridge the gap between blending in and becoming a Best Answer Brand.
This first Season of Beyond B2B Marketing kicked off  featuring Ty Heath from the B2B Institute at LinkedIn and continued featuring conversations with accomplished, experienced and influential B2B marketing leaders from IBM, ServiceNow, Salesforce, LinkedIn, MarketingProfs, Pavilion, Bain & Company and more – many of the top B2B brands, practitioners and thinkers in the industry.
Out of those conversations, there are five themes that stand out to help define what it means to go “Beyond B2B.”
1. Reclaiming the humanity of B2B Marketing
According to research from Content Marketing Institute, 95% of B2B marketers are using AI-powered applications. There are many implications for this level of AI adoption from leveling the playing field of content creation to the mediocrity at scale of AI slop. In either case, the value of human craftsmanship has never been higher.

Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer at MarketingProfs, says we should slow down to stand out:
“Don’t invite AI into the process too soon, because I think that’s when you’re going to get this sort of flattening of content, flattening of writing, mediocrity of thought.”

Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, says it well:
“People can tell when content was written by a person who cares versus content that was engineered to rank. We’re surrounded by sameness right now, so when a real human voice comes through, when there’s empathy, curiosity, even vulnerability, that’s what cuts through.”

Jon Miller, C0-founder Marketo, Engagio talked about the importance of human experiences against the backdrop of AI content:
“Human experiences… whether it’s a dinner or taking your best customers off to an event in wine country… where humans can actually engage and interact with other humans. That’s going to have an impact.”

Kathleen Booth, VP Marketing @ Sequell.io and previously with Pavilion, talks about one thing AI cannot recreate and that’s community:
“For a lot of brands where this (community building) all falls apart is they’re so focused on building the community and getting people in and then they don’t really have a good plan for what happens once you get there. And that’s really where the magic happens.”
When you prioritize human insight, you can build the kind …read more

By Michael Bürgi Pinterest is considered by many to be one of the OGs of the creator economy, but it has for years kept a lower profile when harnessing monetization opportunities. Could that be changing in 2026?

Digiday has learned that Omnicom Media is partnering with Pinterest to let the former’s Creo influencer agency reach the latter’s access to the creator community, bringing shoppability to some of its offerings and gleaning intelligence that it can feed into its Omni platform.

Part of the appeal in collaborating with Pinterest is that, unlike some other social networks that attract passive viewing, Pinterest users are often there to find something in particular, actively seeking ideas, which makes creator-driven content there more potentially impactful.Continue reading this article on digiday.com.

By Michael Bürgi We’ve all had the negative experience of seeing the same ad repeat over and over again in either a linear or streaming show. Its effect can leave the viewer promising to never purchase that product or use that service after being bludgeoned with that messaging on repeat. 

Omnicom Media, via an expansion of a partnership with Amazon it struck last year — but now ties in Roku data as well as input from now corporate sibling Acxiom — is out to try to alleviate that problem.

Digiday has learned that Omnicom is planning to announce that partnership today at CES. Continue reading this article on digiday.com. Sign up for Digiday newsletters to get the latest on media, marketing and the future of TV. …read more

By Katie Hickman Why the smartest B2B brands use thought leadership to create value long after the contract is signed
B2B marketers are under more pressure than ever. AI is flooding every channel with generic content. Platforms are noisier. Organic reach continues to shrink. Buyers are more skeptical and more demanding at the same time.
Most B2B marketing teams respond by prioritizing their pipeline growth efforts, often with fewer resources and higher expectations. But one question still gets less attention than it deserves:
How can marketing continue to create value after the deal is closed?
This is where thought leadership becomes a post-sale powerhouse-and where many B2B brands leave meaningful opportunity on the table.
Our research shows that 97% of B2B marketers believe thought leadership is critical to full-funnel success, yet only 47% actively use it to engage customers post-sale. That gap matters. Trust doesn’t disappear once a contract is signed. In fact, the post-sale phase is where trust becomes even more influential. The proof in the value of  thought leadership applied across the entire customer lifecycle can be found on how high ROI B2B marketers use it:

When done well, thought leadership doesn’t just attract buyers. It supports customers long after onboarding-strengthening relationships, accelerating adoption, enabling internal alignment, and creating momentum for renewal and expansion.
Why thought leadership matters after the sale
Thought leadership for B2b companies is often treated as a top-of-funnel tactic that is designed to spark interest or signal category leadership. While it plays that role, its impact is often greater after the sale.
Once a deal closes, customers move from evaluation to execution. New processes are introduced. Expectations rise. Internal scrutiny increases. At this stage, high-quality, research-backed insight reinforces confidence and reminds customers why they chose your organization.
As Stephanie Losee, Director & Executive Editor at Salesforce, shared on the Beyond B2B Marketing podcast:

“Customer success… their life is made so much better by thought leadership in particular content, because they’re having continuing conversations with these valuable clients. And you want as many as possible of those conversations to be CTA-free.”

This is a critical shift in mindset. Post-sale thought leadership isn’t about promotion-it’s about enabling better conversations. When customer success and account teams are equipped with credible insight, they can help customers think more clearly, act with confidence, and stay aligned internally.
Stephanie also tied thought leadership directly to renewal and expansion:

“When it became so successful, it was just as much because of the internal channels we built to help customer success and sales understand how to use this information… sales and customer success openly gave us credit when that particular client became the biggest contract renewal ever in Autodesk history, $150 million.”

That’s not just brand awareness. That’s business impact.
From a Best Answer Marketing perspective, this is where value compounds. Brands that continue to show up with credible, useful answers-grounded in customer needs-become trusted partners, not just vendors.
B2B thought leadership builds confidence, adoption, and advocacy
Post-sale thought leadership helps customers self-educate, which accelerates adoption and reduces friction. Clear, credible insight gives teams the context they need to make better decisions, move …read more

By Seb Joseph Nearly a decade after it began acquiring agencies, Accenture’s marketing arm is now comparable to the largest ad agency holdcos — and is still aggressively expanding — while sitting outside many of the structural constraints that define them.

Accenture Song generated roughly $20 billion in revenue over its last fiscal 2025, up 8% on the previous year. By comparison WPP reported £14.7 billion in 2024, while Publicis Groupe made €16.03 billion. Sure, the comparison is imperfect since they’re not the same, but the signal is clear: a consulting firm now runs a marketing operation with the economic weight comparable to the largest agency networks — and unlike them, it’s not in a stabilization phase. On the contrary, Song continues to widen its footprint through acquisitions, platform investments and ecosystem partnerships.

What’s emerging is a control layer in marketing services — one that increasingly determines how marketing labor, data and tech are orchestrated inside large enterprises.Continue reading this article on digiday.com.

By Seb Joseph CES has become the ad industry’s first real gut check of the year. For Amazon’s ad team, that means less pitching and more listening.

That posture can read as contrarian given the concentration of big agency leadership and CMOs. Internally, however, Amazon treats the show less as a sales opportunity and more as a read on how closely agency and advertiser priorities track with its own plans for the year ahead.

If the gap is too wide, there’s still time to adjust. That was the case last year, when marketers said they wanted Amazon’s performance data and closed-loop signals but could only use them partially because upfront budgets were locked into publisher-specific deals and flexible dollars were scattered across too many systems to manage intelligently. Amazon’s response was telling. It built tools that let advertisers keep their upfront deals intact while quietly repositioning Amazon as the brains behind how those budgets are paced, optimized and measured.

By Sam Bradley The ad industry’s job market has ended 2025 on a low note, following job cuts at the market’s largest employers. Jobs in the U.S. ad industry fell by 3,700 year-on-year, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Ad agencies are still hiring — but the skills they’re hiring for, and where they’re finding them, are beginning to change.

By Sara Guaglione A number of tech companies signed their first AI content licensing deals with publishers in 2025. New players in this space means we will likely continue to see more agreements in 2026, as publishers look for ways to make money from their content being used to train AI systems.

Meta, Microsoft and Amazon all signed licensing deals with publishers in the last six months.

Digiday tracked all the major AI content licensing deals between tech companies and publishers as a wrap in 2024. We’re doing it again for 2025. These agreements typically allow tech companies to use publishers’ content to train large language models (often including paywalled content). In exchange, publishers get attribution for their content surfaced in AI chatbots or search platforms, as well as access to technology that publishers can use to build AI-powered products and features.Continue reading this article on digiday.com.

By Chris Turn You’ve finally managed to clear out the creepy crawlies from your rugs and closets, but the battle isn’t entirely won. The real challenge now is keeping them out for good. Carpet beetles are notoriously persistent pests that can wreak havoc on natural fibers, from your favorite wool sweater to expensive heirlooms. To protect your home from a re-infestation, you need a strategy that combines diligent hygiene with proven pest control solutions.

Preventing these tiny destroyers requires consistency. By removing their food sources and blocking their entry points, you make your home a hostile environment for them. Here are the top tips to ensure carpet beetles don’t make a comeback.

1. Maintain a Rigorous Vacuuming Schedule

The larvae of carpet beetles are the true culprits behind the damage. They feed on dust bunnies, pet hair, and lint that accumulate in quiet corners. Vacuuming is your first line of defense.

Focus on the Edges: Don’t just clean the high-traffic areas. Use the nozzle attachment to get deep into the crevices along baseboards, under heavy furniture, and in the corners of closets where beetles love to hide.

Clean Under Rugs: Lift up area rugs and vacuum the floor underneath. Larvae often thrive in these undisturbed, dark spaces.

Empty the Canister Regularly: If you vacuum up larvae or eggs, they can survive inside the vacuum bag or canister. Empty the contents into an outdoor trash bin immediately after cleaning.

2. Wash and Store Fabrics Correctly

Carpet beetles are attracted to natural animal fibers like wool, silk, fur, and feathers. They are especially drawn to items soiled with food spills or perspiration.

Before you pack away winter clothes or blankets, wash or dry clean them thoroughly. This removes the scents that attract beetles and kills any eggs that might already be present. Once clean, store these items in airtight plastic bins or vacuum-seal bags. Avoid using cardboard boxes, as beetles can easily chew through them.

3. Declutter Closets and Storage Areas

Clutter provides endless hiding spots and food sources for pests. Old stacks of papers, unused clothing, and piles of blankets are perfect breeding grounds. By keeping your storage areas organized and minimal, you reduce the places where beetles can establish a colony unnoticed. Regular decluttering also makes it easier to spot the early signs of an infestation, such as shed skins or small holes in fabrics.

4. Seal Entry Points

Adult carpet beetles live outdoors and often fly inside to lay eggs. They can enter through the tiniest gaps. Inspect your home’s exterior and seal any cracks around windows, doors, and utility pipes with caulk. Ensure that window screens are free of holes and fit tightly. Installing door sweeps can also prevent beetles from crawling under exterior doors.

5. Use Natural Repellents

If you want to add an extra layer of protection without harsh chemicals, consider natural repellents. Cedar blocks or cedar oil can deter carpet beetles, as they dislike the smell. However, cedar loses its potency over time, so you will need to sand the blocks or reapply oil periodically. Vinegar is another …read more

By Nick Nelson Content isn’t King, it’s the Kingdom
This adage from our CEO Lee Odden dates back to 2013, but it feels especially relevant in 2025 as B2B marketers experience AI-driven disruption firsthand. From creation and discovery to trust and action, the rules of content marketing are changing fast. Search engines are becoming answer engines, buyers are consulting AI tools before ever visiting a website, and the old playbook of publishing more to win more is only adding to the sea of sameness.
Blending in is not how B2B brands are going to win in 2026.
Content as a vehicle for standing out is harder, but it’s more important than ever for B2B brands to provide unique, distinctive points of view to become the most trusted, credible and relevant source everywhere buyers are looking. That includes using search using ChatGPT or Google to communities like Reddit or Quora to social platforms like LinkedIn. Original research powered thought leadership is one of the ways content is helping B2B brands become the best answer for their customers and this year we covered that topic in depth with the Best Answer Marketing Framework and Playbook.
Our top posts of 2025 covered the gamut of content marketing topics from a fresh definition of content to content strategy for AI search, to what kind of content to create and how often. We also covered content repurposing, connecting with full buying committees, optimizing B2B brand and content marketing agency relationships and whether blogging still matters. For insights that will inspire and direct you confidently into the new year, this collection of content marketing posts is a great place to start.

Content Strategy in the Age of AI Search: A Conversation Between Two Content Leaders
This post from Alex covers an interview Erika Heald did with me on how AI-driven search experiences are reshaping content visibility in 2025 and why traditional SEO alone is no longer enough. With AI Overviews now appearing in roughly 16% of queries and often reducing click-through rates by up to 50%, we talked about why brands must adapt their strategies to prioritize credibility, semantic relevance, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Content that isn’t optimized for AI discovery risks being overlooked entirely, even if it ranks well in classic search results. For any B2B marketer that wants practical guidance on how to future-proof their content strategy by aligning E-E-A-T signals, human expertise, and AI-ready optimization, this conversation is a good start.

What is Content? A Definition and Meaning
Normally we’d only include new posts but this refresh has generated so much visibility, it has earned a spot. Originally focused on defining content, in this post adds a fresh take considering the impact of AI and also goes deeper on the topic by describing categories of content according to purpose, format, goal and funnel stage, target audience, distribution channel, timeliness, personalization and creation method. A definitive post for sure.

By Jessica Davies For publishers, disintermediation isn’t a one-off — it’s a pattern.

Now, publishers are watching agentic AI browsers closely because they’re a new kind of middleman: instead of sending readers to sites, they can read, summarize and act on information inside the browser itself. And that could further cut publishers out of both clicks and the audience relationship, just as AI search is already doing.

Tools like Perplexity’s Comet, OpenAI’s Atlas, The Browser Company’s Dia/Arc experiments, and Google’s Gemini-in-Chrome features hint at where this is going in 2026: browsing that feels more like an assistant running errands than a user clicking links. And that is exactly the kind of shift that can quietly collapse referral traffic and make publisher content the raw material rather than the destination. Continue reading this article on digiday.com.

By Chris Turn As 2026 approaches, artificial intelligence is transforming the cybersecurity landscape—not just for defense, but increasingly for attack. Cybercriminals are weaponizing AI to launch faster, more sophisticated, and more deceptive threats than ever before. For businesses unprepared for this reality, the cost of doing nothing will be immense. Outdated security models are no longer sufficient, especially as cybercrime evolves at a rapid pace. That’s why partnerships with professional managed IT services and support are becoming critical—they’re often the first and most effective line of defense against these new AI-driven threats.

Ignoring these emerging risks isn’t a calculated gamble—it’s a direct path to financial, operational, and reputational disaster.

The Rise of AI-Powered Cyber Threats

The latest generation of cyberattacks is uniquely challenging because it evolves in real-time. Traditional defenses—such as signature-based antivirus and generic firewalls—are quickly becoming obsolete against AI-powered threats that learn, adapt, and target vulnerabilities with precision.

AI-Enhanced Phishing and Deepfakes: No longer are phishing emails riddled with obvious errors. AI tools can instantly craft convincing messages by harvesting content from social media and corporate sites, personalizing scams to increase their effectiveness. Adding to this, deepfake technology enables cybercriminals to mimic voices and even video images of executives to authorize wire transfers or issue fake instructions, making fraud exponentially harder to detect.

Automated Hacking Tools: AI-powered hacking tools can scan and exploit system weaknesses at machine speed, operating 24/7. These tools continually adapt their tactics based on a target’s defenses, making detection and remediation incredibly difficult. Once inside, they can escalate their privileges, move laterally, and cause maximum damage before anyone notices.

The True Cost of Inaction

Failing to address the reality of AI-based threats comes with serious consequences well beyond a single data breach.

Financial Fallout: Ransomware attacks leveraged by AI can cripple an organization in minutes, demanding huge ransoms. The costs don’t stop there—consider regulatory penalties (under laws like GDPR), legal expenses, system restoration, and mandatory credit monitoring for affected customers. For small and middle-market businesses, the financial impact alone can threaten survival.

Reputation Implosion: Trust is the foundation of any business relationship. A breach involving sensitive data can instantly ruin years of reputation-building. Customers are likely to flee to competitors, and negative stories can go viral on social media within hours, intensifying a public relations storm that may be impossible to contain.

Operational Shutdowns: AI-driven attacks often aim to disrupt, not just steal. Targeted breaches can shut down essential systems and halt business operations for days or even weeks. The resulting downtime leads to lost revenue, missed contractual obligations, and supply chain breakdowns—with long-term ripple effects.

How Managed IT Services Can Help

Most organizations lack the specialized resources to handle rapidly evolving, AI-powered threats on their own. Here’s where a robust managed IT services and support partner becomes invaluable. These professionals not only leverage the latest security tools—including their own AI-driven solutions—but offer continual monitoring, threat detection, and rapid incident response.

Benefits include:

AI-powered threat detection: Managed services can deploy advanced AI platforms to spot unusual network behavior and potential threats before they cause damage.

A DigiMarCon speaker noted, “Personalization transcends mere salutations; it entails delivering content that resonates with the recipient’s interests.”

“The future of email marketing hinges on its capacity for both personalization and scalability.” –

Data-driven marketing approaches empower businesses to craft targeted campaigns that resonate deeply with their audience. This entails analyzing customer data to discern trends, preferences, and behaviors that can shape marketing strategies.

Further, the incorporation of data-driven strategies into marketing plans facilitates more nimble and responsive marketing. By continuously scrutinizing data, marketers can fine-tune their campaigns in real-time, enhancing performance and ROI.

In summary, DigiMarCon emphasized the critical role of embracing data-driven strategies for marketing success. As the marketing landscape continues to evolve, businesses must leverage data-driven approaches to stay competitive and thrive in a dynamic environment.

Productivity and AI Tools

Marketers are now leveraging AI and productivity tools to streamline their processes, as evident from the insights shared at DigiMarCon. The integration of AI and productivity tools is transforming the marketing landscape.

One of the key discussions revolved around the use of AI in automating repetitive tasks, allowing marketers to focus on strategic planning and creative development.
