By the end of last year, over 50% of GenAI projects were abandoned after the proof-of-concept stage. The main reasons?

➡️ Poor data quality
➡️ Insufficient risk controls
➡️ Rising costs
➡️ Unclear business value

Gartner analyzed hundreds of GenAI implementations and identified the top culprits behind project abandonment. Find out more: https://t.co/g3V85HNy3v

Just 15% of marketers can reliably measure AI-driven discovery, according to  EMARKETER/Partnerize research. In our new report, 100 US marketers share how they’re closing the gap and where budgets are moving.

New research from the Ramp AI Index shows that the most AI-intensive companies in the US — the top 1%, described as "AI-pilled" — are spending $7,500 per employee per month on AI tools and compute. That figure is significant, but still well below the roughly $16,000 per month the average software engineer earns. The top 10% of companies spend about $611 per employee monthly, while the median company spends just $11.38 — roughly the cost of a single enterprise plan seat. Among the top 1%, AI spending grew 14.1% per employee in the past month alone. These heaviest users tend to mix multiple frontier models alongside cheaper open-source alternatives. The data comes as high-profile executives have been making increasingly dramatic claims about AI costs: an Nvidia executive recently said compute costs now exceed employee salaries at his company, and Mercor's CEO said the startup spends more on AI tokens for internal agents than on its entire headcount. The Ramp data suggests those cases remain outliers for now — but the gap is narrowing at the top end of the market.

NASA’s Artemis II crew begins the first crewed Moon mission in over 50 years today 🚀

NASA is about to send humans around the Moon again for the first time in over 50 years. Four astronauts will circle the Moon for about seven hours, getting a rare look at places no one has ever seen up close, including the far side’s polar regions. They’ll even witness a solar eclipse from beyond the Moon — something very few humans have ever experienced.

If you don’t want to miss it, you can watch the mission live on NASA’s YouTube channel 🚀

[Igor Buinevici @Igor_Buinevici]

Businesses don’t decide purchases like consumers.

B2B and B2C operate in completely different ways.

Sharing great insights from @PHerubel.

In B2B:

Multiple decision-makers with distinct roles and priorities.

Collaboration on a collective "purchase plan."

Investments focused on long-term ROI.

In B2C:

Usually a single buyer or a close-knit group.

Decisions are more unified and quicker.

The buying process is simpler and faster.

This difference changes everything:

Who you target
The messaging you use
The content you produce
How you deliver it

Still, both share essentials:

Clear targeting, value propositions, and messaging

Strong market positioning and branding

Social proof, credibility, and reviews

Recently, B2B has started adopting B2C traits:

Social media and communities influencing decisions

Greater use of influencer marketing and thought leadership

The line between B2B and B2C blurring for solo entrepreneurs

Tailor content to the decision-making style.

Additional reminder: Know your audience, always.

P.S. How is your marketing adjusting to these differences?

♻️ Repost for anyone looking to boost their B2B or B2C strategy.
