Markus Cavegn on ADC, Career and New Podcast Episode

An interview with Swiss advertiser Markus Cavegn published on 2026-08-20 on persoenlich.com. Cavegn discusses his advertising career — including stints at Doswald Werbeagentur, GGK, Seiler DDB and founding Cavegnwerbung in 2001 — mentions collaborations (including Magdalena Martello-Blocher) and recalls being rejected three times from the ADC despite winning awards. The piece is part of the publisher's '50 Years ADC' podcast series, produced by persönlich-Verlag with support from Migros Supermarkt AG and available on the publisher site, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

AI Writing Vibe Shift Accelerates

The newsletter analyzes recent signals showing a shift in attitudes toward AI-generated writing: Substack is partnering with Pangram to detect AI-written posts, LinkedIn introduced a 'Seems Like AI Slop' feedback button, Anthropic announced an invisible watermark (and a watermark API) for Claude outputs to meet EU transparency rules, publishers and agents are drawing lines on suspected AI-authored manuscripts, and several tech companies and marketing teams are instituting internal guidelines discouraging AI-written copy. The piece frames these moves as part of a broader industry move toward transparency and protecting brand voice.

Return to England: Harry & Meghan's Business Model Implodes

Manager Magazin reports that Prince Harry and Meghan plan to return to England in August 2026 after a period of mixed commercial results in the U.S. High-profile content agreements — a multi-year Archewell-Netflix deal initially reported at about $100 million and a reported $25 million Spotify podcast arrangement — underperformed or were scaled back: Netflix work moved to a cautious first-look pact and the Spotify podcast ended after twelve episodes. Other ventures show uneven success: Harry secured a reported $20 million Penguin Random House book deal with strong initial sales, while Meghan’s D2C lifestyle brand As Ever achieved rapid sell-outs and an alleged $36 million in 2025 sales from a signature jam gift box (figure leaked January 8, 2026). Harry also holds a role at BetterUp.
