Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels. Plus, easier access to self-serve CTV ad buying tools and targeting options will lead to a surge in locally-targeted streaming campaigns.

Read our guide to find out why growth marketers should make sure CTV is part of their 2026 media mix.

Silence is powerful…
until it isn’t.

There’s a moment in every interaction where your quiet stops creating intrigue and starts creating confusion.
Most people never see the shift.
They think they’re being “mysterious.”
They think they’re building pull.
They think less is more.

But here’s the reality:

Silence only works when the signal underneath it is strong.
When your energy is clear.
When your presence is felt.
When your intention is understood.

If those foundations are shaky, silence doesn’t read as power.
It reads as avoidance.
Disinterest.
Uncertainty.
Mixed signals.

That’s why I built The 90-Day Filter Playbook (25% off) to help you stop rewarding chaos and start filtering with precision.

Most people avoid this truth:
When your silence isn’t anchored, the other person fills the gap with their own assumptions.
And their assumptions usually aren’t flattering.

So here’s the actual rule:
Silence works when your presence is already felt.
It backfires when presence hasn’t been established yet.
