If you think Pinterest is just an online board for recipes and decor ideas, you should reconsider. By 2026, the platform will have long since become one of the most effective visual search tools. In fact, it's a hybrid of a search engine and a social network. For businesses, especially eCommerce, this means the opportunity to get organic traffic, increase brand awareness, and attract users who are already ready to buy. And yet, many companies still underestimate the potential of this platform. Pinterest works very differently from Instagram or Facebook. While these social networks are built around interaction and reactions, Pinterest works on the logic of search. People come here not just to scroll through their feed, but to find ideas, plan something, or choose a product. Pinterest is a search engine, not a social network Pinterest's main strength lies...

Video remains one of the most powerful tools in digital marketing. It quickly conveys emotions, simplifies complex messages, and works effectively on any platform. But as always, AI is changing everything, so we need to adapt. Today, video is a tool for interaction, personalization, and building trust. So, let's take note of the important video marketing trends in 2026 so we don't fall behind. YouTube and TikTok – data sources for AI YouTube and TikTok have long gone beyond entertainment. Today, they are full-fledged information hubs that form some of the most valuable data arrays for multimodal AI systems. Algorithms analyze videos not only by subtitles or descriptions, but also by metadata and, more importantly, by audience behavior. Comments, likes, shares, and even pauses in viewing provide an accurate picture of user sentiment, new trends, and requests that have not...

You scroll through your feed and suddenly you see a virtual influencer. He has millions of followers, collaborations with top brands, and he responds to comments almost 24/7. It sounds like fiction, but it's already reality. Artificially created characters, AI influencers and brand bots, are no longer just a joke and are gradually entering the mainstream.

AI-powered creatives have become the standard in iGaming faster than anyone could blink. Yesterday, we were paying production companies thousands of dollars for a single video; today, we generate dozens of variations in five minutes. It's no longer a "gimmick" or an "innovation"—it's the basic infrastructure of performance. But with this widespread adoption comes another reality: AI-powered videos don't always deliver results. Many teams believe that writing a strong prompt is enough for the creative to "work" on its own. Mike Wiseman reveals a much harsher truth: a strong prompt is only 50% of success. The other 50% is in the details. And that's where things get interesting. The prompt can be perfect: the style is cinematic, the lighting is dramatic, the emotions are vivid, the offer is powerful. But the video can still fail. Why? All seven mistakes we'll...

Everyone wants to "show results," but instead they show themselves with perfect lighting, retouched numbers, and no hint of fakery. Such texts resemble not the work of marketers, but a LinkedIn post about "successful success." And while it sounds nice, it doesn't add to credibility. A good case study is not a press release with pathos and clichéd phrases. It's a documentary with characters, mistakes, changes in plans, and figures that you're not ashamed to share. It should contain life, not corporate glitter. The problem is that brands are often afraid to look imperfect. And this is how they ruin themselves. Because trust is not born of perfection, it is born of honesty. A case that does not inspire trust is more damaging than its absence. Let's see what five common mistakes in case study content turn a success story...
