Behind the Numbers: an EMARKETER Podcast

In today’s podcast episode, we discuss what seasonality means today as shopping behaviors and consumer needs become less tied to a single moment on the calendar. How can seasonal moments help brands identify where new growth opportunities may be emerging? And what audience, motivation, or shopping insights can you carry forward into future campaigns and longer-term strategy?

In today’s podcast episode, we discuss why some of the biggest names in AI are now calling for a slowdown in development, what we would gain and lose if the pace of AI progress decelerated, and whether these doomsday concerns are about a distant existential risk or consequences that are already showing up in everyday work and life.
