What Does AI Mean for Organic Search?

Editor’s note (Aug 2025): Five months ago, this post asked what AI might do to organic search.

We’ve patched in new numbers, clarified a few forecasts, and added a quick primer on AEO.…
Creative Is the New Targeting

Creative Is the New Targeting

Not too long ago, success in digital advertising was largely about how skillfully you could pull the right levers inside ad platforms. Geo-targeting. Demographic slicing. Interest buckets. If you could draw the right fences, the platforms would reward you. But today? That game has changed. Dramatically. In a digital landscape where algorithms are increasingly user-centric,…

Aly Maier Lokuta on the Intersection of Arts and Health

Aly Maier Lokuta knows that art and science aren’t opposing disciplines. They’re a shared language for strengthening public wellbeing. 

Her career has long bridged these worlds, from co-founding Rutgers’ Arts and Health Research Lab to leading the largest public mural initiative since the WPA era during her time with NYC Health + Hospitals. Now, as AVP of Arts and Well-Being at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center,  she’s proving what many leaders in the field are only beginning to articulate: that cultural institutions can be powerful drivers of community health. 

In this episode, Aly shares real-world examples of arts-in-health programs and actionable advice for organizations looking to launch or grow their own initiatives.

Ming Min Hui on Luck, Leadership, and Wall Street

For Ming Min Hui, there’s no single “right” path to arts leadership—only the one you build through curiosity, courage, and a willingness to evolve.

Her career began far from the stage, in finance and corporate strategy on Wall Street. Today, as Executive Director of Boston Ballet, she sees that wide-ranging experience not as a detour but as the engine behind her leadership.

In this episode, Ming reflects on the value of expansive career paths, the power of collaborative problem-solving, and how she uses her business acumen to deepen the relevance of a 400-year-old art form in Boston and beyond.
