Cheap is lazy. Value is clever. And Tesco just made that point with pineapple-on-pizza brilliance, and surely 'Can't Argue with That.' Tesco Ireland’s latest campaign by BBH Dublin delivers a sharp 60-second spot and marks a full-circle brand move from price-point chasing to emotionally resonant storytelling. From transactional mechanics...

Marc Andreessen: “I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices.” “We spend a lot of time working with our companies on pricing,” a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen explains. “It’s really this magical art and science that a lot of companies don’t take seriously enough.” Marc continues: “A core principle of pricing is that you don’t want to price by cost if you can avoid it. You want to price by value. Especially when you’re selling to businesses, you want to price as a percentage of the business value you’re creating.” He gives the example of building an AI that can do the job of a programmer, a lawyer, or a radiologist: “Can you price by value and get a percentage of what otherwise would’ve literally been a person? Or equivalently can you price by marginal productivity? If you can take a human doctor and make them much more productive because you give them AI, can you price as a percentage of the productivity uplift?” Marc argues that high prices are under-appreciated by founders: “The naive view on pricing is the lower the pricing, the better it is for the customer. The more sophisticated way of looking at it is that higher prices are often good for the customer because the higher price means the vendor can make the product better, faster. Companies with higher prices and higher margins can actually invest more in R&D and make the product better. Most people who buy things aren’t just looking for the cheapest price. They want something that’s going to work really well.” Marc also emphasizes this point in an interview in Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook: “What I hear from companies is, ‘Oh, we have an awesome moat, and we’re still going to price our product cheap, because we think that’s somehow going to maximize our business.’ I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. First of all, raising prices is a great way to flesh out whether you actually do have a moat. If you do have a moat, the customers will still buy, because they have to. The definition of a moat is the ability to charge more. And so number one, it’s just a good way to flesh out that topic and really expose it to sunlight. And then number two, companies that charge more can better fund both their distribution efforts and their ongoing R&D efforts. Charging more is a key lever to be able to grow. And the companies that charge more therefore tend to grow faster. That’s counterintuitive to a lot of engineers. A lot of engineers think there’s a one-dimensional relationship between price and value. They have this mental model of commerce like they’re selling rice or something. It’s like, “My product is magical and nobody can replicate it, and I need to price it like it’s a commodity.” No, you don’t. In fact, quite the opposite. If you price it high, then you can fund a much more expensive sales and marketing effort, which means you’re much more likely to win the market, which means you’re much more likely to be able afford to do all the R&D and acquisitions you’re going to want to do. And so we always try to snap people into a two-dimensional mindset, where higher prices equals faster growth.” Video source: a16z (2026)

Senator Gillibrand: "And how many more days, weeks, months, years are we going to be at war with Iran?" U.S. Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper: "Well, as we sit here today, we are in a ceasefire, and the way ahead will be determined by our policymakers." Gillibrand: "Well, currently, we are still spending a billion dollars a day on this war with Iran. And I can tell you from my New York constituents, they're furious about it, because a billion dollars a day could be lowering their housing costs, lowering their food costs, lowering their health care costs, lowering the cost of everyday expenses that continue to go up because of the war in Iran. With the price of gas as high as it is, the price of diesel as high as it is, it means everything that they have to buy for their families is more expensive. So we expect from our military leaders a plan about why and how long we are going to be spending a billion dollars a day. And I have not seen that plan or the why from President Trump or Secretary Hegseth."

Steve Jobs on how to build a great brand After re-joining Apple in 1996, Steve Jobs announced the “Think different” campaign with the following statement: “To me, marketing is about values. This is a very complicated and noisy world. We’re not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us.” He cites Nike as one of the greatest jobs of marketing the universe has ever seen: “Remember, Nike sells a commodity—they sell shoes! And yet when you think of Nike, you feel something different than a shoe company. In their ads, they don’t ever talk about the product. They don’t ever tell you about their air soles and why they are better than Reebok’s air soles. What does Nike do in their advertising? They honor great athletes, and they honor great athletics. That’s who they are, that’s what they are about.” Marketing guru Seth Godin also used Nike as an example of great branding in a blog post a few years ago: “If Nike announced that they were opening a hotel, you’d have a pretty good guess about what it would be like. But if Hyatt announced that they were going to start making shoes, you would have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what those shoes would be like. That’s because Nike owns a brand and Hyatt simply owns real estate.” Jobs goes on to explain how the Apple team arrived at the “Think Different” campaign: “Our customers want to know who is Apple and what is it that we stand for. Where do we fit in this world? What we’re about isn’t making boxes for people to get their jobs done—although we do that well. We do that better than almost anybody, in some cases. But Apple is about something more than that. Apple at the core—its core value—is that we believe people with passion can change the world for the better… And that those people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who actually do.” He continues: “And so, what we’re going to do in our first brand marketing campaign in several years is to get back to that core value. A lot of things have changed. The market is in a totally different place than it was a decade ago, and Apple is totally different… the products and the distribution strategy and the manufacturing are totally different. And we understand that. But values and core values—those things shouldn’t change. The things that Apple believed in, at its core, are the same things that Apple really stands for today.” Apple’s “Think Different” campaign was designed to honor those people who have changed the world. And as Jobs so eloquently put it: “Some of them are living. Some of them are not. But the ones that aren’t, you’ll know that if they ever used a computer, it would’ve been a Mac. The theme of the campaign is ‘Think Different.’ It’s honoring the people who think different and who move this world forward. And it is what we are about. It touches the soul of this company.” If you’re looking to create a great brand, I’d start out by asking: what are your core values and what does your company honor?

Certain people need to understand that HUMAN MADE products and those from masstige brands are simply not the same thing. According to founder NIGO, HUMAN MADE was conceived as an antithesis to fast, disposable fashion. He wanted clothing with "weight and value," rooted in its materials, construction, and craftsmanship. That craftsmanship comes at a real cost. NIGO has described sourcing and restoring vintage sewing machines because modern ones could not reproduce the stitching he wanted, using rare loopwheel knitting machines, waiting for specialized looms, and recreating vintage fabrics and techniques that are inherently difficult to reproduce at scale. These are genuine production constraints: scarce machinery, specialized skills, more labor, slower processes, and limited capacity. That is a fundamentally different value proposition from mass-produced masstige, where a substantial part of the premium can come from brand equity, marketing, and the prestige of a familiar name. None of this means mass-produced products are necessarily inferior, nor does a higher price automatically mean better quality. But there is a meaningful difference between paying a premium for something that is difficult and costly to make and paying a premium largely for the name attached to something manufactured in far greater volumes. Understanding that distinction is rather essential if we are going to discuss value. So whether j-hope's HUMAN MADE collection is within your budget, suits your style, or meets your personal definition of "worth it" is beside the point. You are entirely free to prefer something less expensive, more accessible, or more widely produced. But "I wouldn't pay that much" is not an assessment of the product. It's a statement about your spending threshold. Sometimes something is overpriced. And sometimes you were simply never the customer it was priced for.

.David Sacks: Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Will Maximize Long-Term Value of U.S. Holdings "The reason why we need a Bitcoin reserve is that the federal government already owns some. In fact, it obtained around 400,000 Bitcoin over the past decade through criminal and civil forfeitures and seizures. And so the government has to have a strategy for how it deals with this. In the past, the strategy has been simply to sell it in an ad hoc way, almost willy-nilly, and that cost American taxpayers something like $17 billion in lost value. So we want to have a long-term strategy to maximize the value of these holdings. We’ve decided that Bitcoin is scarce, it’s valuable, and it is strategic for the United States to hold on to this as a long-term reserve asset. So that’s the plan with the 200,000 Bitcoin that we believe are in the possession of the federal government. I say 'we believe' because no one really knows for sure since we’ve never had a proper audit. That’s one of the first things this executive order provides: we’re going to do a full government-wide audit to find out what digital assets we actually have so they can be safeguarded and moved into a strategy that maximizes their long-term value."

📌 Pi Network & GCV – The Global Consensus Value 1. What is GCV? GCV (Global Consensus Value) is the price level that the global Pi Network community agrees to adopt when exchanging goods and services using Pi. This is not a value dictated by exchanges, but rather a community-driven value built on collective trust and demand. 2. How it differs from free market prices Exchange Price: Fluctuates according to supply and demand, often influenced by speculation. GCV: Stable, designed to protect real users’ value and avoid manipulation by “whales.” If the traditional crypto market is like a turbulent ocean, GCV acts as a safe harbor where transactions are grounded in trust and mutual agreement. 3. Why is GCV important for Pi? Protects labor value: Every Pi mined represents time and effort invested by its user. Builds a stable economic foundation: Makes it easier for businesses and individuals to price products and services. Encourages commercial adoption: Stable pricing motivates merchants to accept Pi without fear of volatility. 4. Real-world application of GCV Many Pi communities around the world (including Vietnam) already use GCV in Pi markets and trading groups. For example: 1 Pi = 314.159 VND (a symbolic number linked to the mathematical π). Some groups use 1 Pi = 100 USD for high-value goods. The key point: this price is community-agreed, not exchange-listed. 5. Challenges & Prospects Challenges: If GCV is set too high compared to market prices, it can create a gap and reduce liquidity. Prospects: Widespread adoption of GCV could make it the “reference price” for Pi commerce, building a trust-based, decentralized economy. 💡 Conclusion: Pi Network is taking a different path from most crypto projects – instead of fully relying on volatile market prices, it trusts in value created by the community. GCV serves as the “compass,” guiding Pi away from excessive fluctuations and towards building an early, stable economy. If the community continues to uphold this consensus and use GCV in real-world transactions, Pi could potentially become the first stable digital currency driven by global consensus.

Cea Weaver says the quiet part out loud.... "We decided that fighting for rent control was a strategic and critical first step in the fight for full social housing... We decided that through a program like rent control, we are able to directly challenge the logic of unfettered profit in the real estate market. We are able to directly challenge housing as a wealth-building tool and, through regulation, strike a blow to the entire real estate industry at once. The beauty of rent stabilization and rent control is that it weakens the speculative value of the real estate asset. The value is no longer based on what the landlord is able to get, but rather it’s based on a state public board deciding how much rent is going up. And yes, that board is controlled by the real estate industry, and yes, there could be a better way to regulate it. But the idea is that we could weaken the entire industry at once through a strong rent control campaign, and that would strengthen our ability to fight for social housing.” Serious question: How is this constitutional?

"Value capture is incredibly difficult, and the market is leaking its value at an unbelievable pace at all times." Eddy Lazzarin ☀️ with a counterintuitive take: "Entrepreneurs are so obsessed with value capture... not because it's serving their greed at every turn. It's actually because value capture is incredibly difficult." "There's this idea, something called Schumpeterian profits... According to Nordhaus, 97.8% of the value is externalized. Very little of the value is captured by the company." "Every price that's posted is an advertisement for other competitors to jump in. If you're charging a high price and a competitor sees that, that's just like a blinking, blaring red signal sign for them to jump in and compete." "Think of capitalism as this ship, and it's just sinking all the time, but we're building it faster than it's sinking. It's actually in a runaway feedback loop where it's growing and leaking at an accelerating pace... It's a perma-boom, perma-crisis at all times."

Most developers know how to ship a feature. Turning every release, demo, and product update into content people can quickly understand is a different job. Fetra AI is built for that second part. It helps teams turn product and brand context into short-form content, then plan, schedule, and publish it from one place. We tested Fetra AI with a sample brand, and two workflows stood out: • Blitz generates a stack of branded video concepts you can review and choose from, instead of starting with an empty prompt. • Viral Remix takes a short reference clip and a product image, then rebuilds the format around your own product. The video below shows that flow, from building the brand profile to generating new concepts and adapting product assets into short-form content. Fetra also includes AI UGC, content planning through Marco, scheduling, and publishing across nine platforms. The value here is less about promising virality and more about reducing the repetitive work between shipping something and turning it into clear, usable content. For indie developers, technical founders, and lean product teams, that can make the content side of building much easier to manage.

Desigual’s Political Gamble in a Period of Decline. Judging by its revenue figures and brand trajectory, Desigual’s golden age is clearly behind it. Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter, stars in Desigual’s Fall 2026 campaign, Born to Disobey. In the advertisement, she mocks a humanoid robot clearly inspired by Tesla’s Optimus while criticizing AI and robotics and encouraging LGBTQ+ people to embrace their identities and challenge prevailing social norms. If Wilson genuinely wants to be economically, emotionally, and personally independent of her father, as she has publicly emphasized, an obvious question arises: Why continue invoking symbols so closely associated with his business empire in a commercial campaign? It is difficult not to suspect that the advertisement is still leveraging the attention and commercial value attached to her identity as “Elon Musk’s daughter.” On the surface, it rebels against him; in practice, it relies on his fame to achieve maximum publicity. Rather than escaping her father’s influence, the campaign turns their conflict into a marketable brand asset. Desigual is not bankrupt, but its decline from its peak a decade ago is unmistakable. At this stage in its trajectory, a highly identity-driven campaign that also borrows heavily from Musk’s cultural relevance may generate short-term attention, but it is unlikely to solve the brand’s deeper problems: creative stagnation, insufficient innovation, and a weakening connection with mainstream consumers. Wilson has legally and publicly distanced herself from Musk and dropped the Musk surname. Yet in the commercial marketplace and the public imagination, her most recognizable identity remains “Elon Musk’s estranged daughter.” It is difficult to believe that brands hire her without considering the built-in conflict and dramatic tension that this association provides. If someone genuinely wants to stop being defined by a parent, the strongest course may be to build a career entirely unrelated to that parent’s business empire, reputation, or controversies. By mocking one of her father’s most recognizable technological symbols in a commercial advertisement, however, Wilson inevitably invites the interpretation that she is packaging rebellion while continuing to monetize his influence. This looks less like complete independence and more like a form of oppositional dependence.

Seth Godin explains the difference between a logo and a brand: “If Nike opened a hotel, I think we would be able to guess pretty accurately what it would be like. If Hyatt came out with sneakers, we’d have no clue what they’d be like. That’s because Hyatt doesn’t have a brand—they have a logo.” He continues: “What it means to have a brand is you’ve made a promise to people. They have expectations. It’s a shorthand. And if that is distinct, you’ve earned something. If it’s not distinct, admit you make a commodity and you’re trying to charge just a little bit extra for peace of mind. The problem that Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, and the rest have is sort by price. Because if I go online now to find a hotel, it’s really simple. Why would I pay $200 extra? I don’t. The value of a brand is how much extra I am paying above the substitute. And if I’m not paying extra, you don’t have a brand.” This seems to be Warren Buffet’s definition of a brand too. Apple has one of the best brands in the world, and he explains the value of this brand loyalty in a pretty unique way: “If you’re an Apple user and somebody offers you $10,000, but the only proviso is they’ll take away your iPhone and you’ll never be able to buy another, you’re not going to take it. If they tell you if you buy another Ford car, they’ll give you $10,000 not to do that, you’ll take the $10,000 and you’ll buy a Chevy instead.” Ford and Chevy have logos. Apple has a brand.

Sean has built DUDE Wipes to over $150M. It's one of the strongest brands on planet Earth. In this video, he addresses the age-old question of how to invest in Brand Marketing in a world that's obsessed with measuring the short-term return from performance marketing. As a recovering performance marketer myself, learning this lesson was one of the most humbling but value-unlocking realizations in the journey to the 9-figure exit We learned many of the same lessons Sean gives here, which helped us gain confidence in broadening the set of people we were reaching (via paid, unpaid, and everything else) with content and tactics that aimed to reach tons of ppl AND increase the probability the Brand came to mind when the buyer went in-market vs. focusing all efforts on converting those already in-market to get a good ROAS number Btw, I was one of those marketers who, for too long, lived by the idea that if it didn't show up in the reporting within our short-term attribution window, it didn't exist. But hey, my loss is your gain, so here are the 6 most helpful lessons and quotes from the video 1. It's about balance. "If you're too focused on branding or too focused on performance, you're going to end up hurting yourself because you're going to be stuck in one lane" 2. Only when you invest in Brand can you fight increasing acquisition costs with performance marketing "You have to be spending on performance marketing where you can track the return and understand how to acquire customers. Then you have to be spending on building the Brand where it's not as trackable, and that'll actually make your performance work better." 3. Do it all. Find what works for YOU at YOUR stage "Sampling, getting your product in people's hands. Experiential marketing. You have to do everything well, and then you have to find the mix that works the best for your Brand. And that's going to change over time." 4. Ignoring Brand early on is a deadly trap "So early on you may have to be spending typically more on performance because the dollars really got to work for you. One pitfall is that people ignore brands early on because of that. They get lost in the Meta D2C loophole, and that's like a drug." 5. The Brand has to be able to stand on its own outside of the Meta Loophole "You're only, you're only as good as your last hit as your last click. As soon as you stop paying that money -if it's all DR Advertising based, you don't mean anything to anybody and your Brand can't live on its own" 6. Saying you don't have the money to invest in Brand is a lazy excuse. "That doesn't need to cost a lot of money in the beginning. That's where we learned the guerrilla tricks. You should always be a guerrilla building your Brand. Don't use the excuse of 'oh well, we don't have the funds to build a Brand'. We never had the funds. We built a Brand, so it's not about the resources. Be resourceful. Be creative. Find ways to get your Brand out there" #brand #performance #marketing
