A Bet on What's Next.

Hi {{first_name | Dear Friend}},

Not a refresh. Not a facelift. A deliberate evolution. One that started with a hard look at where markets are moving and what this next era actually requires of us and of the leaders we work with.

Outfront 3.0 is the result. A new website. A new identity. Sharper language. A clearer expression of what we do and who it's for. But more than any of that, a signal of a reinvention that has been underway for the better part of a year.

We made the strategy visible. We hope you'll take a look.

Enjoy, and get in touch. We love hearing from you!

We experiment constantly. Some of it works beautifully. Some of it breaks the whole thing. Here's what we've been learning lately - in our own words.

I don't know how to code. I'm impatient. And the moment a new idea hits me, I want to make it happen (not learn a new platform). So, I tried Lovable (a new “vibe-coding” AI app builder). And it built me an app that actually works!

Is it perfect? No. I made some rookie mistakes. Interestingly, AI has made me more tolerant of mistakes. I expect them now. I asked Lovable to do something it couldn't do and promptly broke the whole thing. (Whoops.)

But here's what’s incredible: I had an idea for an app. And now it exists in the world. That wasn’t possible before for someone like me. Not without a developer, a budget, a timeline, and a lot of patience I don't have. This is a moment in time when technology gives us new power to birth ideas. I'm not taking that for granted.

In the early days of the commercial internet, I led a business unit at Organic, helping pioneer how organizations would communicate, build brands, and engage audiences online. We were hiring so fast HR deserved a medal just for showing up.

But what I remember most isn't only the stellar work. It's how generous everyone was. Enough opportunity for all of us, and we knew it. So, we shared everything, over foosball tables, bagel Wednesdays, and what felt like one long SXSW afterparty.

This happens once every few decades. A moment so wide open that generosity becomes the natural response.

We're in that moment right now with AI. I felt it at Human + Tech Week, MAICON (Marketing AI Conf) - everyone sharing their secrets, their tools, their org charts. Competitors choosing collaboration. It's a time worth celebrating.

Every day we get questions about what we do and how we do it. Strategy. Positioning. Executive branding. AI. We've started a series that answers them clearly, directly, without filler. Each blog post is designed for leaders who don't have time to wade through the noise to find the point.

Strategy is not a plan. It's the one decision that makes every other decision easier. It's the unifying principle that aligns an organization around what matters. Here's our take on what it actually is, who needs it, and how it gets built.

Positioning is the territory you claim in a market. Messaging is how you defend it. Here's the difference, why it matters, and what happens when you get both right.

Most organizations struggle because they turn change into a planning exercise rather than exploring whether they're adapting to the right future.

You see it when companies invest in technology because it feels urgent, but can't clearly articulate how it strengthens their advantage. When leaders reorganize without first defining which capabilities will matter most. And when planning cycles harden around old assumptions because no one paused long enough to question them.

The problem is not change. The problem is unexamined assumptions.

This piece is about the discipline required to stay out front and the story of how we applied it to ourselves in building Outfront 3.0.

A selection of what's been resonating across our channels lately.

AI summarizes everything. Why would anyone - human or bot - bother going to your site? I understand the logic. I just think it's wrong. We are drowning in information from every direction. That's exactly why the need for one authoritative home - one place where a brand or leader puts forward their official, complete, considered point of view - is going to be more important, not less. Visitors referred from AI search convert at 4.4 times the rate of traditional organic traffic. Fewer are clicking through, but when they do, they’re more ready to engage. Your website does triple duty: it helps people choose you, it feeds AI, and it is your single source of truth. Build it like it matters. Read The Post Here

I remember the first predictions about the demise of websites. In the future, the pundits said, you'll view content on your arm and tap your freckles to navigate. That never happened. But websites did evolve. And as we were reinventing ours, we had to get honest about what it would actually do, how it would be designed, and how people would use it now, in the AI era. We came to a conclusion that surprised some people: websites are more important now than ever. A website is a window into a brand or a person. Every choice you make - the words, the structure, the ideas you choose to share - that's your IP. And in a world where AI is summarizing everyone, your website is still the one place where you control the narrative completely. Read The Post Here

The world remembers Steve Jobs returning to Apple. But the NeXT years were where he became the leader who could save it. I had the privilege of working with Steve during that chapter and bringing him back to Apple, and it shaped how I think about leadership, creativity, and reinvention to this day. What many forget is that NeXT became the foundation for today’s Apple ecosystem. The high standards and technology still live inside the devices we use every day. Grateful to Geoffrey Cain for telling this story so well. Deep bow of gratitude to you, SJ. Read The Post Here
