We have one piece of the puzzle people are looking for in the area of personalization,” Diana Lee told me.

Lee is the founder and CEO of Constellation, among other things the tenth fastest-growing women-owned private company, according to Inc 500. In simple terms, Constellation is an agency with a creative platform that makes content scaleable. But simple terms aren’t enough. Constellation’s piece of the puzzle includes aggregating data from an immense range of sources, using it to train industry-specific LLMs (or chatbots).

This means, first, that consumers don’t have to visit countless websites for product information, in effect aggregating it for themselves. And second, personalized messaging becomes personalized at scale.

 

 

SEARCH ENGINE JOURNAL

 

 

As Reddit ranks higher in Google searches, its traffic has reportedly grown 39% year-over-year. This growth seems fueled by Reddit’s increased visibility in Google search results. Why is Reddit growing so fast, and what does this mean for businesses and SEO professionals?

Several factors, including Google prioritizing “helpful content” from discussion forums in a recent algorithm update, have likely contributed to Reddit’s improved search rankings and visibility.

A report from Business Insider indicates that more people are now finding Reddit through Google searches than by directly visiting the reddit.com website.

 

 

MARKETING DIVE

 

 

Amazon unveiled an ad-targeting solution called Ad Relevance that does not rely on cookies or other third-party identifiers via a blog post. The news was also announced as part of the company’s presence at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this week.

Ad Relevance, which is available via Amazon’s demand-side platform, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze billions of browsing, purchasing and streaming data points from across Amazon properties, matching those insights against what content a consumer is viewing in real time.

Years in development, Ad Relevance has already been tested on Amazon’s Audiences, Contextual Targeting and Performance+ offerings. Amazon boasted the product can improve addressability among previously anonymous impressions for advertisers, as well as lower CPMs by as much as 34%.

MARKETING BREW

 

 

“Cannes Lions and Viral Nation are kind of looking at this one as, ‘Let’s kick butt and get as many learnings as we can',” Joe Gagliese, co-CEO and co-founder of Viral Nation, told us.

Lions Creators programming will include presentations, panels, roundtables, and networking events, as well as the Social & Influencer Lions Awards Show, building on years of increased creator participation in the festival, mostly on the brand side. Executives told us that, in response, creators, as well as creator marketers, will be there in higher numbers than ever this year.
