Most companies running marketing today are optimising an equation instead of building a brand. But in 2026, experiential marketing spend has overtook digital advertising spend for the first time. I don't think that's a coincidence. I think it's the market quietly admitting the equation has stopped working.

You remember moments. A month after the 2026 World Cup ended, I can tell you exactly what Levi's did, and I can also tell you, if I think about it, roughly what Coca-Cola, Adidas, and Visa ran.

Think about how you remember a trip. Not the itinerary, not most of what happened, not even most of...]]></description><link>https://www.ctrldigital.co/post/the-best-world-cup-ad-wasnt-an-ad</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a760b2d2dc76a37da3e73dc</guid><pubDate>Sat, 08 Aug 2026 00:00:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c1c568_41f3db52fb994fd28370e6732efb28dd~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Eshaan Bhosle</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How VIP Access to Audi's F1 Team Reminded Me What Brand Value Actually Means]]></title><description><![CDATA[I spent three days at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest this July on VIP passes from JigSpace, a partner of the Audi Revolut F1 Team. I went in for the racing. What I actually got was three days inside the world of a Formula 1 team, and by the end of it, the clearest, most physical understanding I've ever had of something I spend my working life trying to explain to clients: what a brand is actually worth. What does it take to run an F1 weekend, really?
