Influencer marketing is no longer just for consumer brands. In a report titled Influencing Business: The Global Rise of B2B Influencer Marketing, Ogilvy estimates that the global market size has expanded over 20 times since 2016! And with the creator economy projected to reach $500 billion by 2027, businesses are taking note. Social platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, boasting nearly 5 billion monthly active users, have fueled this rise of the creator economy. The question is, how can the B2B marketing sector leverage this trend to build trust and drive business impact?

Healthcare AI should give doctors attention back, not shorter visits

Healthcare AI should give doctors attention back, not shorter visits

Healthcare organizations should deploy AI to give clinicians back attention and capacity for better decisions, not simply shorten visits. Landry argues AI should fit into existing workflows with insights appearing at the right time, and that organizations should set clear governance and automation boundaries before deployment and measure what changes for patients, clinicians and the organization.

  • 01AI success in healthcare should expand clinician capacity for thoughtful care, not optimize for visit speed; a three-minute appointment is not patient-centered innovation.
  • 02Design AI into workflows clinicians already use with insights appearing at the right moment, making adoption a workflow problem rather than a training problem.
  • 03Set automation boundaries before deploying AI, specifying what it may do alone, what it recommends for clinician decision-making, and what requires explicit human control and accountability.

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

U.S. health plan administrative costs rose 2.7% to about $69.2 billion in the first half of 2026, even as margins improved to 4.1%. Black Book Research's 2027 outlook says AI is starting to move payer sourcing in both directions. Demand for specialist vendors stays strong in some functions, while automation could make in-house or hybrid models viable in others. The report recommends comparing each major outsourced service with rival vendors and the best internal or hybrid option, and checking whether projected savings become actual cash.

  • 01Every major outsourced payer service should be benchmarked against a rival vendor and against the plan's best feasible internal or hybrid model, a three-way contest at each renewal.
  • 02Avoided vacancies, projected productivity gains and payment recoveries are not recurring cash, so outsourcing savings should not be assumed to fund AI until the service, AI and funding cases each stand on their own.
  • 03Provider data sits on both sides of the sourcing question: it is a top pain point and a specialist-demand area, yet also one of the functions where automation could make hybrid or in-house models viable.

Hugh Chatham surgical tech program draws 65 for 12 seats

Hugh Chatham surgical tech program draws 65 for 12 seats

Hugh Chatham Health and Alleghany Health marked one year with Advocate Health as a surgical technology program drew 65 applicants for 12 seats. An anniversary release lists $11.3 million in pay and rewards and a $19.3 million capital figure, and says nearly 1,000 patients were connected to specialty and higher-acuity services through Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Local training seats look like the next limit in Elkin.

  • 01In rural North Carolina, a new surgical technology program drew more than five applicants per seat, which points to training capacity, not interest, as the thing to expand.
  • 02Pay and rewards totaled $11.3 million in year one, versus a $19.3 million capital figure—about 58% as large, by MarketScale’s arithmetic.
  • 03Nearly 1,000 patients were connected to specialty and higher-acuity services versus just over 70 virtual consultations and encounters (about 14:1 by MarketScale’s arithmetic), with expanded virtual care planned for year two.
