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?

Avanlee Care’s $3.5M seed tests whether Medicare Advantage plans will pay to reach caregivers

Avanlee Care’s $3.5M seed tests whether Medicare Advantage plans will pay to reach caregivers

Avanlee Care raised a $3.5 million seed round led by BEA Venture Fund, bringing total funding to $6 million. The startup helps Medicare Advantage plans find and support members' family caregivers. Its bet: plans will pay to reach whoever books the visits.

  • 01Medicare Advantage plans can see overdue visits and refills; Avanlee Care’s $3.5M seed backs a per-member-per-month model to reach the family caregiver who can act on that outreach.
  • 02Caregiver support among Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans rose from 5% of plans in 2025 to 16% in 2026, even as meals and transportation benefits declined. That gives benefit designers a reference point.

Oura's $625 million Counsel Health deal puts a ring maker in the triage business

Oura's $625 million Counsel Health deal puts a ring maker in the triage business

Oura is buying Counsel Health for $625 million in cash, bringing an AI chat service with on-demand physicians in-house. Counsel will keep selling triage and virtual care to health plans, health systems and employers. Outcomes data is still to come.

  • 01For $625 million in cash, a smart ring company now owns a service pitched to health plans as a replacement for the nurse triage line.
  • 02Counsel's website offers a free conversation with Counsel AI and lets users add a doctor for $29, a public reference point benefits teams could use when comparing virtual care costs.
  • 03The evidence behind the combined model is member satisfaction (4.6 out of 5) and self-reported surveys; clinical outcomes and cost results are the numbers that would confirm it.

Ohio State–Microsoft deal, reported at $250M, targets 70–80% of storage/compute to Azure

Ohio State–Microsoft deal, reported at $250M, targets 70–80% of storage/compute to Azure

Ohio State University and Microsoft’s five-year partnership, reported by outlets at $250 million, is largely infrastructure: targeting a shift of roughly 70% to 80% of storage and computing to Azure and building a shared data layer. Note-drafting AI already runs. Smart-room features for patients come later and depend on that foundation.

  • 01The only part of the Ohio State and Microsoft deal with published results is AI note drafting, which saved up to four minutes per visit in Wexner's 2024 pilot.
  • 02Smart-room capabilities (such as personalized lighting) depend on a shared data layer whose high-level design is complete; early measurable returns may show up first in OR and staffing forecasts.
  • 03Health systems weighing a similar platform deal should ask how the headline value breaks down, which workloads move first and whether the cloud copy of the EHR is a backup or the primary record.
