The digital marketing landscape is more fragmented than ever, with brands scrambling to maintain visibility across many platforms. Traditional approaches to content distribution often resemble a game of darts, blindly throwing messages across every channel, hoping something sticks. With businesses facing tighter budgets and increasing pressure to achieve measurable results, marketers must refine their strategies to ensure content resonates with the right audiences. According to the Content Marketing Institute's 2024 report, 87% of marketers say content marketing generates demand or leads, but only 52% believe it helps build loyalty with existing customers.

Alright. Who's ready for some fights? This is what we came here for. Alright? Please give it up for Chip Rosales. Yeah. Give me your framework knowing that the objectives have to be multi factor. How do we take the framework to solve and clutter? Channels that are out there make Farm League like a game of darts. You blindly are just throwing content at every available channel that's out there. But we have budgets that we need to adhere to. We've got businesses that wanna make sure that we are actually meeting those objectives, which is great. But in order to actually make that happen, you've gotta have content that resonates, that is brand authentic. And by doing so, we will transcend all the changes that are happening on all these channels, and we're going to make it easier for us to be able to find other invest internal investment of people who we need to create supplemental content that need that we're gonna need to scale. We spend fifteen percent of our dollars there and then we look to the younger generations and these newer technologies and these things are happening in dark socials, a great place, Reddit, etcetera. You start finding ways to play that out on the five percent and what you find is the five percent becomes fifteen and then eventually the fifteen is part of your eighty. But see, I'm Elvis, we don't always get to see the briefs. We need you guys to tell our teams to pound the sand, project the briefs. Okay. I think she she was Alright. Another excellent fight, I little lady. And let's see who won. Alright?

Why Momentive says city data centers need sealant built for 1,000-foot towers

Why Momentive says city data centers need sealant built for 1,000-foot towers

Planners are pushing urban data centers toward glass facades. Bull argues high-load structural silicone glazing—like the 30 psi UltraGlaze SSG4600 used on Austin’s 1,025-foot Waterline tower—can help support heavier security glass and tighter enclosure performance in new multi-story builds.

  • 01When a city insists a data center look like an office building, the sealant holding the glass ends up doing work for the cooling plant.
  • 02Rifle-rated UL 752 Level 7 glazing runs about 15 pounds per square foot, so the security rating and the sealant's 30 psi design strength belong in the same specification review.
  • 03The supertall-sealant case applies mainly to new urban builds; most operating U.S. data centers can't shut down for facade replacement and harden their glass through retrofit shields instead.

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox forecasts the global panelized buildings market to grow 5.3% a year from 2026 to 2035, with residential housing at about 45% of 2026 demand. Factory capacity is the catch. Limited mass timber and specialized steel framing capacity will hold growth back in some regions, and IndexBox expects investment in new plants and automation to ease those bottlenecks by the late 2020s.

  • 01Panels swap scarce framing crews for factory hours, and through the late 2020s the factory hours for mass timber and specialized steel framing are scarce too.
  • 02Housing is 45% of panelized demand, but commercial and institutional projects are expected to grow faster because owners are paying for schedule certainty; warehouse and campus owners are closest to that shift.
  • 03Mid-scale volumetric modular plants are estimated to need 60% to 70% utilization to break even; panel lines use different equipment, but the report argues the same fixed-cost logic can make order-book visibility important before adding shifts or lines.

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Rebond 300 replaces up to 30% of cement in concrete with no equipment changes. In a Holcim and Goldbeck floor slab trial at C30/37, its workability, setting time and finishing matched the reference mix. Demand exceeds what Paebbl can produce, and closing that gap is now its main challenge.

  • 01After Rebond 300 runs through a standard ready-mix plant and hits C30/37 with no schedule change, buyers’ next questions shift to supply and allocation—how many tonnes Paebbl can ship—alongside price and how much of the mix to commit.
  • 02If Rebond 300 displaces up to 30% of cement yet can cut embodied carbon by up to 40%, the figures imply a negative footprint beyond simple substitution; Paebbl cites a verified -149 kg CO2e per tonne of product, with results depending on mix design.
