The Marketing Minute: AI Is Watching Your Marketing Habits

06/10/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing Minute
Last summer, I decided I wanted to get better at skateboarding. I had no aspirations of becoming the next Tony Hawk; I simply wanted to feel more comfortable on the board. Like many people learning a new skill, I wanted progress to happen fairly quickly. It didn't. For weeks, every ride felt awkward. Then one day, I realized I wasn't thinking as much. I had better balance, and I felt more natural on the board. Progress had been accumulating through repetition. I've been thinking about that lesson recently because it reminds me of marketing, particularly as generative AI begins to change how customers discover companies and products.

The Marketing Minute: If Your Marketing Budget Gets Cut in Half, Then What?

05/13/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing Minute
Hypothetically, let’s say your marketing budget gets cut in half tomorrow. (I’m stressed just thinking about it!) But here’s the real question: Would your actual marketing strategy change, or just the amount of money behind it? Because those are not the same thing. Markets go up and down. Budgets can tighten. If your entire marketing approach depends on the biggest, flashiest, most expensive options available, that’s not really a strategy. It’s just spending. A strong marketing strategy should remain consistent regardless of spending levels.

It's Only Common Sense: See Your Marketing as a Discipline, Not a Department

04/27/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
What does marketing mean to you? Is it a corner office with cool posters on the wall? Is it the person running your LinkedIn page or the trade show booth with the shiny graphics and the bowl of candy? Yes, marketing is those things, but it’s more than that. It’s a discipline, and if you treat it like a department, you’re already losing.

Driven largely by the need for advanced chip technology for super compute ability and AI applications, low Dk, low-loss resin systems, and heavy copper laminate are attracting significant attention and global resources. There are numerous unavoidable challenges in this market that will impact manufacturers and the supply chain, and they may be hitting critical mass sooner than OEMs and fabricators think.
