It can sometimes be difficult for marketers to keep up with all of the industry news released each week. That’s why we created this roundup of the top articles covering news and thought leadership that every marketer should be reading.

Business 2 Community has some recommendations for marketers looking to attract customers in an increasingly fragmented digital landscape. Nowadays, catching the eyes of customers involves advertising across dozens of different channels, and beating out the competition with a superior message. Business 2 Community recommends regularly updating customer profiles to ensure that the information is accurate to audience wants and needs, as consumer behavior is always changing. And with attention spans becoming shorter than ever, they also suggest leveraging channels and mediums that command the most attention, such as video advertising through digital and Connected TV. 

And speaking of Connected TV, the recently announced Emmy nominations are revealing a new trend in the world of premium television. According to Adweek, this week Disney+ received an Emmy nomination count of 71 – more than all of the nominations Disney’s linear properties received combined (and nearly quadruple the 19 nominations the streaming platform received in 2020). This is in part because of the Walt Disney Company’s recent decision to prioritize putting their most exciting shows on their subscription services rather than linear networks. And with the news that their recently released “Black Widow” made $60 million in streaming revenue in addition to the $80M in its theatrical release, it’s becoming clear that streaming content has the potential to be just as valuable as its traditional counterparts. 

Check out the rest of the headlines that caught our attention below.
