🎶 Roy Eaton didn’t just write jingles—he made history.

Marketers are still catching their breath.

TikTok was gone. Then it wasn`t. One Supreme Court decision. One executive order. One major wake-up call.

🏈🎬 Big Game Ads: The Good, the Bad & the "Huh?"

Another big game, another year of big-budget ads that made us laugh, cringe and scratch our heads. 🤔 From touchdown-worthy storytelling to fumbles we’d rather forget, our team at Glint Advertising is breaking down the commercials that stole the show—and the ones that left us questioning.

📢 Undeniable Faves:
Michelob - Pickleball, anyone?
Nike `So Win`
Coors Light sloths on a Monday - we know how it is! 👀
Instacart `We`re Here`
Jeep & Harrison Ford

📢 Soul-Stirring:
Pfizer `Mama Said Knock You Out`
Rocket Mortgage (Fun Fact: The commercial was the first ever to have a live in-stadium sing-a-long while the commercial was airing.)
`He Gets Us` (Jesus)

📢 Tuuurrrible, but we are talking about them:
Mountain Dew and Seal - we can`t unsee it!
Tubi Fleshy Hats
Coffee-Mate Tongues - cringy?

Erayne particularly liked the Angel Soft spot, reminding us to use the potty before the half-time show. "Functional, useful," she says. We guess...

Before influencer marketing, there was Madam C.J. Walker. 👏🏾

Her lesson? When you know your audience, you build loyalty that lasts.

"The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership." – Harvey S. Firestone

So here’s your challenge: Lift someone up today. Share knowledge. Create space. Empower. Because the best leaders don’t just build businesses—they build people.

`Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the ad space,
Not a campaign was stirring, not even a trace.
The Glinsters were nestled, their creativity aglow,
Dreaming of strategies that continue to grow.

Santa has his sleigh, and we have our drive,
Turning visions into magic, making brands come alive.
So, as you cozy up with holiday cheer,
Know we`re here to make your message clear.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Glint Advertising! 🎄✨

#TwasTheNightBeforeMarketing #GlintAdvertising #CreativeStrategy #BrandMagic #HolidayCheer #MerryChristmas #DigitalAdvertising

The holidays are almost here, Glinsters! 🎄✨ Time to unplug and recharge—but we know, it’s easier said than done. Setting boundaries now can save you from work interruptions later.

Here’s how to actually disconnect this season:

🗓 Remind your boss twice—Once now and once closer to your time off. A quick status update lets them plan ahead and keeps you guilt-free while you’re away.

📴 Mute notifications—Slack won’t implode. If it’s urgent, they’ll call or text.

🚪 Think like a closed store—When you’re “closed,” you’re closed. No exceptions.

🌐 Make OOO emails personal—Adding a friendly note like “Spending time with family” makes it harder for anyone to disrupt your break unless it’s truly urgent.

Your time off is yours—protect it. What’s your go-to method for disconnecting? Share below! 👇

🌟 Marketing in 2025 is coming fast. Are you ready to keep up?

Here`s what`s about to change—and what you need to watch:

1️⃣ AI isn`t optional anymore.
From hyper-personalized customer experiences to smarter chatbots, tools like Jasper and ChatGPT are turning strategy into efficiency. Get familiar now.

Voice search is booming. Customers are asking, not typing—so think natural language and long-tail keywords.

3️⃣ AR and VR aren`t just for gamers.
Virtual makeup try-ons. Immersive real estate tours. Brands that get creative will stand out.

4️⃣ Short-form video still reigns.
Keep TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts fast, interactive, and snackable. Engagement loves brevity.

5️⃣ Personalization goes deeper.
Dynamic content isn`t just nice to have; it`s what makes customers stick around. Platforms like Glintegration? Gold.

6️⃣ Social feeds = shopping carts.
Shoppable posts and influencer partnerships—if users can see it, they can buy it without leaving the app.

🚀 2025 isn`t slowing down. The brands that mix innovation with authenticity will lead the pack. Are you ready?

Let`s make next year the year you get noticed.

The holiday hustle isn`t over yet—it`s time to make the most of the final stretch. Here`s how small businesses and non-profits can finish strong with strategies tailored for success:

1️⃣ Early Birds? No Problem—Communicate Now
Missed the early start? Use this weekend to launch last-minute campaigns that emphasize urgency. A well-timed email blast or a targeted social post can still capture attention and drive action.

Quick tip: highlight gift cards or year-end giving incentives to meet those last-minute shoppers and donors where they are.

2️⃣ Streamline the Journey for Last-Minute Wins
Make the process seamless, whether it`s a product purchase or a donation. Review your website and eliminate extra clicks. A clean, easy-to-navigate checkout or donation page can turn potential drop-offs into conversions. Got questions about user experience? That`s where we shine.

3️⃣ Collaborate, Not Compete
It`s not too late to partner with local businesses or organizations. Share audiences through co-hosted giveaways or joint promotions. For non-profits, team up with a local business to offer a percentage of sales as donations—it`s a win for everyone involved.

The clock`s ticking, but there`s still time to turn ideas into results. Let`s make this holiday season count.
