BLOG/CAST: Graham Watson #1

In the style-obsessed 80s, no agency was more obsessed than BBH. Everything that came out of the place reeked of it. Including the staff. Their men’s toilets were stocked with tubs of hair gel (What? It was the eighties!) Their AAR reel, a tool for agencies for clients to compile pitch lists, didn’t follow the template the rest of the industry did (pasty faced public schoolboys using big words,…

We are thrilled to see BeOp launch their AI application to build conversational content performance ads for the attention economy that drives brand reach, traffic, and most importantly intent-based transactions.

Their next-generation platform is built for today, and tomorrow, bringing together modules for publishers and brands to engage audiences with their unique conversational ads that increase attention and intent. As well as generate, and capture data in their DMP for both supply and demand partners. Who can then push to their CRM, DMP, or CDP. This is very aligned with our belief in audience data empowerment.

EDC…The Tale of 2 Very Different Pistols

When it comes to a concealed carry pistol, if you ask 50 different people what their favorite concealed carry pistol is, you’ll most likely get close to 50 different answers. Everybody has they favorite pistol. But what about a person who has a number of different favorites? How does a person decide which of their pistols are their favorite to carry? We’ll take a deep dive into 2 very different carry pistols in my collection.

Retro. The oldest style pistol that is in my concealed carry rotation is drastically different from what the majority of people these days prefer for their concealed carry. The pistol in question is a Kimber CDP Ultra 1911 in .45 ACP. I purchased this pistol some 10 years ago specifically as a concealed carry pistol. At the time I was shooting a ton of .45ACP through my full sized 1911 pistols and wanted one specially for carry. The Kimber CDP Ultra is an aluminum framed 3” barrel 1911 with a slightly shorter grip length than a standard 1911. The aluminum frame provides a good bit of weight saving as does the shorter slide and barrel. The barrel is a bushing less design, unlike a standard 1911. Since the CDP series is meant specifically for concealed carry, the slide has melted edges that are less sharp than normal 1911 pistols. It also came with Meprolight 3 dot tritium night sights. This is a classic pistol meant for concealment. The only changes I made was adding a set of VZ grips and a mainspring housing/magwell combo from Evolution Gun Works. I carry and train with this pistol in the cocked and locked position as a 1911 has both a grip safety as well as a thumb safety. I never recommend carrying any pistol without training to properly conceal and present that particular weapon system.

Modern. The most modern style pistol that is in my concealed carry rotation is probably more typical of is a pistol that I put together myself. It is a Glock style striker fired pistol. The frame is a serialized Brownells exclusive Polymer80 frame, with a windowed Brownells slide and Grey Ghost Precision barrel in 9MM. Essentially it is a Glock 19, but with a much better grip angle than an OEM Glock. The trigger setup I used for this build also came from Brownells. It is the Apex Action enhancement kit, complete with a flat faced trigger, trigger bar, disconnector and safety plunger. The sights are Night Fision night sights which are some of my all time favorite night sights. I find this pistol to be somewhat easier to carry effectively since it is a striker fired pistol with no external safety. Again, making sure to train and dry fire when switching weapon platforms is essential to not having an issue when you need to defend yourself.

So which of these 2 pistols, if given no other choice would be your preference for concealed carry? My guess would be that most people would gravitate towards the more modern design of the Glock-style pistol because most younger folk are more familiar with that style pistol than that of a 1911. There are some outliers of course. I even find myself carrying the Glock style pistol way more frequently than my 1911 for simplicity’s sake. But if I want to make a statement and be classy, that sweet Kimber CDP Ultra makes all the difference.

Brazil govt adds more ports to its concession plans

The Brazilian government included two more ports in its concession plans. 

The federal government’s investment partnerships program, PPI, authorized the inclusion in the plans of Rio de Janeiro port authority Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ) and Pará state port authority Companhia Docas do Pará (CDP). 

"Simultaneously with the privatization of CDRJ, the ports of Rio de Janeiro, Itaguaí, Niterói and Angra dos Reis will be offered to the private sector. Studies will be carried out to define estimated investment values, contract terms and an auction schedule, among others," the infrastructure ministry said in a release. 

"The privatization of Docas do Pará includes the simultaneous concession of the ports of Belém, Vila do Conde and Santarém, for which studies will also indicate the contract conditions and auction schedule," it added.

Top 5 Digital Marketing Trends for 2024 Every Business Should Know

Top 5 Digital Marketing Trends for 2024 Every Business Should Know

As digital marketing continues to evolve, businesses must stay updated with the latest trends to remain competitive. The year 2024 promises to be transformative, with technological advancements reshaping the way businesses interact with customers online. Below are the top five digital marketing trends for 2024 that every business, from small local enterprises to global corporations, should know and incorporate into their strategies.

1. **Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning Integration**

**Key Points:**

- **AI-Powered Tools:** Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the digital marketing landscape. From predictive analytics to personalized content generation, AI is helping marketers create more effective campaigns. AI tools such as chatbots, smart content, and customer behavior analysis offer deeper insights, driving more precise marketing efforts.

- **Machine Learning for Personalization:** Machine learning (ML), a subset of AI, analyzes data to predict future trends and customer behaviors. By understanding past behaviors and preferences, businesses can offer hyper-personalized experiences, which result in higher engagement and conversion rates.

- **AI in Advertising:** AI is increasingly being used to optimize ad campaigns. Tools like Google’s AI-powered bidding strategies use ML to determine the most efficient way to allocate budgets, leading to better returns on investment (ROI).

**Practical Implementation:**

- Businesses should invest in AI-driven tools to improve targeting, automation, and decision-making processes. Tools like ChatGPT, for instance, can automate customer service and create personalized content. Marketers should also explore AI-driven customer data platforms (CDPs) for enhanced segmentation and targeting.

---

2. **Voice Search Optimization and Smart Speakers**

**Key Points:**

- **Growth of Voice Search:** Voice search is becoming a significant part of the customer journey. With devices like Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, and Apple’s Siri, more consumers are conducting searches through voice rather than typing. This trend is expected to grow even further in 2024, with estimates suggesting that more than 50% of all searches will be voice-based.

- **Natural Language Processing (NLP):** Voice searches are more conversational, requiring marketers to adapt their SEO strategies. Natural Language Processing (NLP) allows voice assistants to understand and process complex voice queries, meaning businesses need to optimize for long-tail keywords and natural phrases.

- **Local SEO and Voice Search:** Voice searches are typically local, making it crucial for businesses to optimize for local SEO. Phrases like “near me” or “closest” are common in voice searches, so companies should ensure their Google My Business listings are accurate and updated.

**Practical Implementation:**

- To optimize for voice search, businesses need to focus on conversational keywords and questions that users might ask. FAQs are excellent content formats for voice search optimization. It’s also important to ensure mobile optimization and fast load times, as these factors significantly influence rankings in voice search results.

---

3. **Rise of Video Marketing and Short-Form Content**

**Key Points:**

- **Short-Form Video Popularity:** Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have made short-form videos the most popular type of content on the internet. In 2024, short-form video is predicted to account for over 80% of all internet traffic, with users increasingly preferring bite-sized, engaging content.

- **User-Generated Content (UGC):** Short-form content generated by users will play a crucial role in video marketing. Brands are encouraging their audiences to create videos about their experiences with products, which builds trust and authenticity.

- **Video SEO:** With the rise in video consumption, optimizing videos for search engines is becoming increasingly important. Businesses need to focus on video titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnails to increase visibility on platforms like YouTube and Google.

**Practical Implementation:**

- Brands should invest in creating both short-form and long-form video content. For example, product demonstrations, behind-the-scenes footage, or quick tips in the form of Instagram Reels or TikTok videos can engage younger audiences. Video content can also be repurposed for blogs, social media, and email marketing.

---

4. **The Dominance of Social Commerce**

**Key Points:**

- **Integration of Shopping Features in Social Media:** Social commerce has become an essential part of the consumer shopping experience. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are now fully integrated with e-commerce features, allowing users to make purchases without leaving the platform. This seamless shopping experience is expected to grow even further in 2024.

- **Live Shopping:** Livestream shopping events are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in Asia, and are expected to make a larger impact in Western markets. These live events allow businesses to showcase products in real-time, answer questions, and provide exclusive offers to viewers.

- **Influencer Partnerships in Social Commerce:** Influencer marketing continues to evolve, and in 2024, influencers will play an even greater role in driving social commerce. Micro-influencers, in particular, have seen a rise in popularity due to their high engagement rates and niche audiences.

**Practical Implementation:**

- Businesses should integrate social commerce tools into their strategies by enabling features like Instagram Shops, Facebook Marketplace, and TikTok shopping. Partnering with relevant influencers to promote products during live shopping events can also significantly drive sales.

---

5. **Data Privacy and Ethical Marketing**

**Key Points:**

- **Increased Privacy Regulations:** As privacy concerns grow, governments are enacting stricter data protection regulations. In 2024, businesses will need to adapt to more comprehensive privacy laws like GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California, which restrict the collection and use of personal data.

- **Cookieless Future:** Third-party cookies, once the backbone of digital advertising, are being phased out. Google is planning to fully eliminate third-party cookies by the end of 2024, forcing businesses to rethink their advertising and data collection strategies.

- **Transparency and Trust:** Consumers are increasingly concerned about how their data is being used. To build trust, businesses will need to adopt ethical marketing practices by being transparent about data collection and usage. This includes providing users with clear options to opt-in or out of data sharing and ensuring compliance with all regulations.

**Practical Implementation:**

- Businesses should prioritize first-party data collection by encouraging users to share information directly through opt-in forms, surveys, and newsletters. Marketers must also ensure they are compliant with all data protection regulations and implement transparent communication regarding data usage.

---

Conclusion

As we move into 2024, these five trends—AI and machine learning, voice search optimization, video marketing, social commerce, and data privacy—are shaping the future of digital marketing. By staying on top of these trends and adapting strategies accordingly, businesses can not only maintain their competitive edge but also create meaningful, long-lasting connections with their audience.

Marketers must be agile and open to experimenting with these innovations. Whether it’s adopting AI-driven tools, optimizing for voice search, or tapping into the power of short-form video, the key is to continuously evolve in this dynamic digital landscape. With the right strategies, businesses can harness these trends to drive growth and success in 2024 and beyond.

PSC Approves AGL Rate Hike

New Post has been published on https://www.georgiagassavings.com/blog/psc-approves-agl-rate-hike/

PSC Approves AGL Rate Hike

Expect Higher Bills with AGL Rate Hike

No one likes it when AGL hikes its rate for delivering natural gas to your home. Learn what’s the reason for the newest PSC approved increase and how it affects your natural gas bills.

In Georgia you have the power to choose your natural gas supplier. Your natural gas utility, however, is out of your control. If you are in the Atlanta Gas Light service area, you will soon see a change in your gas bill. This is because the Georgia PSC approved an increase in the charges for the gas utility earlier this month. And more changes could be on the way. So, let’s dig into the PSC approved AGL rate hike and how it affects you.

What Are AGL Charges For?

You might pay a natural gas provider, like Constellation or Xoom, for the gas you use at home each month. However, it is AGL that maintains the pipeline network and gets the natural gas to your house. So, on your natural gas bill, the AGL pass-through charges cover those costs of day-to-day operations. AGL also has to do regular overhauls to parts of the system to keep up with increasing demand and to maintain a reliable and affordable gas supply in our state. Those kinds of projects are expensive. Therefore, AGL passes those costs on to you with more charges.

What is the Most Recent AGL Rate Hike?

The most recent hike in AGL rates is for the System Reinforcement Rider (SRR). According to the utility, the money will go towards increasing the capacity of the delivery system with more and larger piping. Getting into the specifics, the SRR on your gas bill will go from $0.32 to $1.15. With AGL’s 1.7 million customers, the rate increase gives the company an additional $16.9 million per year.

The increase in this charge is part of the utility’s three-year Integrated Capacity Development Plan (i-CDP). So, hopefully the charge will stay steady for at least the next three years.

More Rate Hikes to Come?

On top of the SRR increase, the PSC also said yes to adding another surcharge to AGL natural gas bills. The new charge covers costs for county, municipal, and transportation department related natural gas projects. Although the PSC already said yes to adding the charge, AGL will file a request for the amount later this month. These changes would go into effect in January 2025.

While increased charges on your natural gas bill are not welcome news for any of us, the good news is that fixed rate natural gas prices are still low. Find a great rate and save money on your natural gas bill today at https://www.georgiagassavings.com.
