What’s Driving Growth Right Now
BETTER QUESTIONS. SHARPER THINKING. BIGGER GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES.
Most marketing commentary explains what happened. We're more interested in what brands should do next.
From changing consumer behavior and competitive pressures to brand strategy, creative effectiveness and sales performance, we examine the forces shaping business growth.
Sometimes we challenge conventional thinking. Sometimes we question the numbers. Always, we look for opportunities marketers can act on.
Because great insights should lead to better decisions — and better business results.
Most Brands Are Missing One Of The Largest Growth Opportunities In America
Most brands dramatically overestimate how effectively their “general market” advertising reaches multicultural audiences. But MRI-Simmons data and real-world media behavior tell a different story.

Reggae and Caribbean-rooted music aren’t just globally popular— they’re globally effective. From Kingston to San Juan, these sounds now operate at pop scale while doing something most advertising struggles to achieve: they’re felt. Slower tempos, steady rhythms, and bass-driven immersion align with how the human body responds to sound. The question isn’t why this culture travels. It’s why more brands aren’t building against it.
