Marc Sharp shared thisJust back from LinkedIn Dublin at LinkedIn Vision Forward 2026. Great to spend time with some very sharp people this week. Josh Hall Nadine Jax Tiffany Shen Miller thank you for a great mix of presentations, panels and networking with agency peers. A few themes that stuck with me: ◆ Measurement is still the gap B2B sales cycles are now ~272 days We’re still optimising to short-term signals If we can’t measure the full journey, we’re only seeing part of the picture. ◆ AI is shifting the role of paid From reach and frequency → reputation and perception Which makes the split between paid and organic feel increasingly outdated. ◆ Creative is the real lever Especially video Distribution is easy Attention isn’t - we’re in an attention economy, but still measuring proxies. Feels like measurement, AI and creative now need to work as one system, not separate disciplines. And of course, it wouldn’t be Dublin without finishing with a few pints of Guinness.

Marc Sharp liked thisMarc Sharp liked thisSuper interesting. A court in China has sided with an employee against the employer that cut his role due to AI. On face value, this might be looked at as 'backward' or 'anti-innovation'. That would be wrong. This ruling doesn't stop a company from using AI it just means they have to think of ways to retrain the human. That will result in a far better outcome. Instead of using AI to reduce cost, with a finite and diminishing return, this will force companies to refocus their human workers on what humans do best. It will result in considering the ways a company can increase it's top line. AI is a technology built for abundance, not scarcity. For raising your top line and doing more with the same, not the same with less. I'd be in favour of similar here, what do you think?The AI Termination Ban: Why Chinese Courts Just Made It Illegal to Replace Workers with RobotsThe AI Termination Ban: Why Chinese Courts Just Made It Illegal to Replace Workers with Robots

Marc Sharp liked thisMarc Sharp liked thisOur LinkedIn Agency Inspire in Dublin was a strong reminder of what real partnership looks like in action. Bringing together our agency ecosystem, the focus was clear: how we collaborate more closely to drive meaningful, measurable impact for our clients and grounded in a shared ambition to raise the bar on outcomes. What stood out most was the quality of exchange; great work with Webrepublic, SocialDNA, netzeffekt GmbH and many more! Thanks to Manuel Kekeisen and Fredrik Borestrom for all the effort and energy that you've put together. And a personal highlight: after 3.5 years at LinkedIn, this was my first visit to our EMEA HQ in Dublin. Safe to say, it lived up to expectations with the inspiring atmosphere to the unmistakable Dublin spirit (and wow - sunshine). Grateful for the conversations, the connections, and the momentum we’re building together.

Central to that are the 12 Employee Resource Groups that do incredible work across all our offices. Thanks to our Families at LinkedIn ERG, my children had an amazing last morning of their Easter holidays at a science camp run by Junior Einsteins Dublin. Who wouldn’t have fun making toothpaste for the Easter Bunny, making your own slime and testing plasma balls. Thanks to all the volunteers who made it possible - Nathalia I. and Ricardo P.

Marc Sharp reacted on thisMarc Sharp reacted on thisA friend said something to me recently that I can't stop thinking about: 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟, 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘. After 4.5 years, my time at TikTok has come to an end. I'm leaving with far more than I arrived with, shaped by the people, the pace, and the ambition of what we were building. A few moments I'm especially proud of: 🏆 Scaling Amazon from 1 LOB to 11, and being part of the first team to reach $100M in revenue - ever 🏆 Partnering with QVC Group as we evolved our partnership from competitor to collaborator, now streaming 24/7 on TikTok Shop and securing a $38M deal 🏆 Leading Samsung Electronics' 2024 Olympics campaign out of London, the largest in TikTok history, and onboarding Samsung Electronics UK to TikTok Shop! The wins are easy to list. What's harder to capture is what sat behind them. To everyone I had the privilege of working with, 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮. For the big swings, bigger dreams, late nights, endless Lark notifications and everything in between. A very special mention to Lindsey Fields, Carlos Rabanillo, Ted Bergeron, Farah Maloof, Matt Cleary, Anastasia Goddard (née Nicholl), Stephen Naughton, James Bowyer, David Nguyen, Bijan Bahreyni, Casey McAlary, Nick Mays and Carren Hopkins. TikTok is one of those experiences that stands on its own. It doesn't lead to a new chapter - you don't turn a page and "move on". So what's next? I'm excited to share I've joined LinkedIn as a Global Client Executive on the Strategic Accounts team 💙 🤩 A new book begins.

Brands and media buyers need to prepare for a new phase in ad platform performance. Clarity have been consistently keeping tabs on Meta’s direction for a long time, and the UK rollout of its ad-free subscription marks a meaningful shift. The impact will feel similar to the 2020 iOS tracking changes. With people opting out of ads you could start to see smaller tracked audiences, higher CPMs in some areas, and potentially less precise targeting. Here is what you should focus on: 👉Strengthen tracking. Check your Meta Pixel and Conversions API for accuracy. And build your own data: Grow email and CRM lists with clear consent. 👉Expect smaller audiences. Monitor reach, CPM, conversion rate, and cost per lead in the UK and EU. 👉Keep budgets flexible. Adjust UK and EU spend without disrupting global activity. With this, increase creative testing. Use short mobile videos, clear benefits, and strong visual hooks. 👉 Start broad with targeting. Add light filters only where data shows gains. And use simple lift tests. Validate impact through country or time splits. Remember to keep a balanced channel mix across search, social, and programmatic. This platform shift gives users more choice and gives advertisers less data. And so strong tracking, disciplined testing, and frequent creative updates will protect performance. Have a read over the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ehaND8uc Reach out if you want to sense-check your paid setup with Clarity’s paid media team. And thank you to Nicky Oldale and Darryll Owusu-Agyeman for your insights.

Most small UK businesses don’t need a bigger marketing budget. They need better priorities. If I had to rank where marketing money actually pays back, it would look like this: 1. Homepage clarity before more traffic 2. Location pages for the areas you really serve 3. A system for Google reviews 4. Improving conversion rate, not just visits 5. One clear offer instead of several average ones 6. Local backlinks from real businesses 7. Audits and fixes, not endless activity Traffic is optional. Clarity compounds. That’s where results usually start.

Consumers aren’t anti-AI. They just want honesty. Our recent survey of 100 UK marketers + 1,000 UK consumers found that 75% of consumers want brands to disclose when AI is being used in marketing. If this tells us anything, it's that AI is powerful. It can help marketers scale content, speed up experimentation, and personalize at levels we’ve never seen before. But without transparency, the experience feels… off. Trust is still the ultimate currency of digital experiences. Lose it, and audiences won’t stick around. Want the rest of the insights?

Speaking at #brightonSEO and #MeasureFest October 2025 was a personal milestone and one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in the industry 🙂 Fellow speakers, attendees and industry peers all contributed to conversations that showed the real strength of our community. The search industry is often misunderstood from the outside, but the openness, generosity and shared expertise I saw over those two days made me genuinely proud to be part of it. Preparing for my talk took a lot of time, late nights and weekends, but the response and feedback made it all worth it. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, and to Kelvin Newman and the brightonSEO team for the opportunity 🙏 Having attended brightonSEO in both April this year and back in 2023, the shift in AI search is now impossible to ignore. Back in brightonSEO April 2023, ChatGPT and generative AI were emerging themes. Talks raised awareness but offered few case studies and little in the way of actionable takeaways; it was still early. The tone was exploratory. Fast forward to October 2025, and that has fundamentally changed. AI search has moved from curiosity to critical strategy. The conference agenda was packed with sessions exploring shifts in user behaviour, the practical realities of agentic search, and how AI-driven discovery is already transforming visibility, brand presence and conversion. One major theme was “Agentic AI”: the shift from simply surfacing information and receiving answers, to using AI as an active agent that helps us complete tasks and make decisions more efficiently. The Atlas browser from OpenAI, launched just two days before the conference, embodied this evolution. It signals a future where users remain within the ChatGPT ecosystem for the full journey, from search through to decision and action. AI is no longer just a research assistant; it is becoming the full experience. At the conference, terms like GEO, AIO, AI Search and AEO were being used interchangeably, with no single definition cutting through. But one thing is clear: AI search is no longer a trend. It's here, and we either adapt how we measure and optimise for it, or risk falling behind. Thankfully, the event offered plenty of perspectives on exactly that. I also had the pleasure of meeting some brilliant people over the two days - a mix of fellow speakers, attendees who came along to my session, and others I’d been speaking with in the lead-up to the event. It was great to meet in person and share ideas face to face, with people such as 💡💷 Amrdeep Athwal, Christian Rigg, Daniel Smith, Ian Ferguson, James Yorke, Novica Kocev, Pete Heslop, Samanyou Garg (and the amazing team at Writesonic!), Samy Ben Sadok, Samy Thuillier, Stuart Tofts and Yordan Dimitrov, to name a few!

🚨 1 in 10 marketers are secretly using AI at work. (Yes, really. We asked in our recent survey of UK marketers & consumers.) When outdated policies block progress, some marketers go rogue. And honestly? We don’t blame them. But forward-thinking brands aren’t banning AI—they’re embracing it. They’re building secure, scalable workflows that unlock serious results.
