Ole Miss creó el relato perfecto del “Fast Friday” al Fiesta Bowl (por qué Miami es el último capítulo de una revolución)

(Por Ortega) El field goal de 47 yardas de Lucas Carneiro que venció a Georgia no fue un golpe de suerte. Fue la culminación de un proceso diseñado para prosperar en el caos, la validación de una hipótesis arriesgada: que un equipo puede perder a su entrenador estrella un mes antes del playoff, mantener a un staff dividido entre dos programas, y aún así ejecutar bajo presión extrema.

Empieza este 2026 haciendo lo que ya los Gurús de las top brands hacen

(Por Otero-Maurizio) "El marketing del futuro no se vende; se vive. Y las marcas que creen espacios para vivir, ganarán." Las tendencias 2026 no son meras predicciones, sino síntomas de una transformación profunda en la psicología del consumidor, la economía de la atención y la arquitectura de valor de las marcas.

2026, el primer chisme que hizo estallar las redes: Brady & Earle en St. Barths (¿romance, colaboración de marca o el nuevo power duo del entretenimiento global?)

(Por Vera) En la noche de Año Nuevo, mientras el mundo brindaba por lo nuevo, dos figuras aparentemente distantes —Tom Brady, el atleta meticuloso, y Alix Earle, la influencer de la generación Z— escribían, sin saberlo, un capítulo revelador sobre el futuro del branding, el entretenimiento y la economía de la atención en 2026.

El colapso del consumo del alcohol (excepto hiper lujo o meta relevancia) está remodelando todo el marketing de bebidas

(Por Maqueda con Maurizio) Imagine una inversión que pierde casi la mitad de su valor en cinco años. No es una criptomoneda volátil ni una startup fallida. Es la industria global del alcohol, un gigante que durante siglos pareció inmune a las crisis y que hoy enfrenta una tormenta perfecta: una revolución generacional en los hábitos de consumo, guerras comerciales y una transformación farmacológica que está reescribiendo la relación humana con la intoxicación.

Rosemary Beach: es como ir a lo mas lindo de Europa y de Miami a la vez (en Florida)

(Por Maurizio) Este pequeño paraíso, ubicado en la pintoresca Costa del Golfo, es un verdadero refugio para aquellos que buscan una escapada idílica, combinando la serenidad de la naturaleza con un estilo de vida moderno y vibrante. En el vasto paisaje de la costa de Florida, se encuentra un rincón de ensueño que no siempre recibe la atención que merece: Rosemary Beach

Paradoja Starbucks 2026: reestructura en EEUU y crece en MX (by Alsea) (¿por qué nadie te explica por qué?)

(Por Maqueda y Maurizio) Si quieres entender el futuro del retail, no mires las ganancias. Mira las energías contrastantes. Starbucks no tiene un problema financiero; tiene una crisis ontológica. Mientras en México florece como un ecosistema resiliente, en Estados Unidos se contrae como un organismo que olvidó su propia mitología.
