Creators Shift Holiday Content Calendars Earlier
Content creators and brands are moving holiday marketing campaigns earlier than ever, with partnerships initiated as early as July. Creators like Devin Cordle are posting holiday-themed content during summer, and brands like Mellow Sleep and Stellar Beauty Co. are using affiliate and paid influencer campaigns on TikTok to build awareness ahead of gifting season. The shift is driven by early sales events like Amazon Prime Big Deals Day and the need to plan Q4 creatives in advance. Agencies like Currents Management report receiving some of the earliest Q4 partnership requests. While earlier timelines provide more lead time for creators, they also add pressure and logistical challenges, such as sourcing seasonal items early. The trend reflects a broader change in the retail calendar, with TikTok's holiday event starting November 14 further influencing campaign timing.
AT&T, Crocs, Southwest Detail Cautious AI Agent Adoption
At Salesforce's Dreamforce event, executives from AT&T, Crocs, and Southwest Airlines shared their realistic approaches to deploying AI agents. They emphasized that while automation improves efficiency, human interaction remains critical, especially in sensitive areas like cancellations or 'right here, right now' customer issues. AT&T uses AI to cut phone upgrade times but reserves human intervention for cancellations. Southwest uses chatbots for servicing but relies on humans for empathetic support. Crocs uses an AI chatbot 'Rivet' but insists on keeping 'a human in the loop' and stresses the importance of a solid data foundation. The article also notes Salesforce's Agentforce adoption (about 20% of its customers) and highlights DE&PT's consumer survey showing decline in comfort with AI as autonomy increases. AI safety debates between Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Jensen Huang were also discussed, with contrasting views on regulation and safety.
