Hey,

It’s been an incredibly busy start to 2026!

This newsletter is one of the ways I keep you informed of what’s going on each week, but I’m also posting daily on Linkedin, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube shorts…

YES… a lot of platforms. I have been working behind the scenes on the content plan for 2026 and have a whole new team behind me which is very exciting (hence the little break from our weekly news!)

And honestly?

There’s been ZERO chill in AI while I’ve been away. And 2026 as a whole if I’m honest.

In the last few weeks alone we’ve seen:

→ Ads land inside ChatGPT
→ Shopify start plugging stores into AI conversations
→ Meta quietly reshape how advertisers spend

This isn’t just “updates”.

This is infrastructure shifting.

The way customers find you… trust you… and buy from you is changing FAST.

So if you’ve been heads down, this is your reset.

Let’s break down what actually matters 👇
