Attribution is dying. Long live incrementality.

That was the real story at B&T's Breakfast Club last week, "The Incrementality Reality," presented by Rokt. Also on the menu: spanakopita, further proof that some things don't need incrementality testing to know they work.

The panel (Nathan Crook of Ticketmaster, Ankita Jain of Foxtel Group and Michael Dunlop of Rokt) was masterfully moderated by B&T's Tom Fogden, who put it best: "the biggest risk is to not take risks."

For anyone building a brand or protecting a reputation, that's not just a media-buying insight. It's a positioning one. If you can't prove causal impact, you can't defend budget and you can't defend the narrative you're telling stakeholders about what's working.

Three things worth taking back to your own team:

• Attribution tells you what happened. Incrementality tells you what wouldn't have happened without you.
• Commerce media is no longer a channel. It's becoming the discovery layer, and it changes where the "next dollar" should go.
• Proof before scale isn't caution. It's how you earn the right to take the next risk.

Rooms like that don't come around often: three subject matter experts who rarely share a stage, all early risers, all sharp before 8am.

Great breakfast, better conversation and we all went home with a box of chocolates. Forrest Gump said life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Incrementality is how marketers are making sure they do.

thanks to the good folk at Prime Creative for publishing my 1600 word article in Aesthetic Medical Practitioner magazine where i make the comparison between marketing and collagen:
ONLY SO MUCH COLLAGEN TO STIMULATE
Australia’s aesthetic clinics have hit a ceiling not in their treatments but in their marketing. Like the body’s collagen response, spend beyond saturation point and you stop generating returns and start causing damage.
There is a ceiling on how much collagen the body can produce. Push a treatment past that point and you are no longer generating results you are paying for inflammation. Throw enough energy at a depleted system and you risk causing lasting damage to the very thing you are trying to improve.
Australia’s aesthetic clinics are hitting the same wall with their marketing budgets and most don’t recognise the symptoms.
The industry was valued at $4.2 billion ($US2.7 billion) in 2023 with 19.3 per cent year on year growth predicted – and that was just for injectables – of which a third is attributed to wrinkle relaxants. Add to that treatments and surgeries and the estimate is a considerable sum.
Yet according to Elizabeth Heusler, a reputation management specialist with three decades in the aesthetic space, the majority of that marketing spend is producing diminishing returns, not because clinics are spending too little but because they are stimulating a market that cannot respond to them.

Lucky me. Bumped into both James Sherrard, NSW Building Commissioner and Angus Abadee, NSW Strata and Property Services Commissioner, in the same week.
Two men with their fingers on the thumping pulse of NSW property. No pressure then.
We covered a lot of ground. I've ranked it from "brace yourself" to "barely blink":
Concrete concerns and water ingress. Because nothing says quality build like a soggy basement.
Defects and remediation. The gift that keeps on giving to owners corporations everywhere.
Façade renovations. Turns out buildings need faces that don't fall off.
Breach bans. For when "please stop" needs a legal teeth upgrade.
Compliance and books and records. Riveting stuff. Genuinely riveting.
Anytime anywhere inspections and regular audits. The commissioners popping by uninvited, forever.
Dodgy Strata Committees / Managers out in the open
Jokes aside, both gentlemen share a genuine drive to restore integrity to this industry and give NSW owners and residents real peace of mind that their homes are safe and secure rather the wild west ride it is in some sectors.
Good conversation. Better company. Best of all when good PR does the talking, not a headline.

Amongst the locals for the launch of Homelessness Week, Giving Day event theme, A Shower Shouldn't be a Luxury. The aim is to raise $500K to fund about 220 warm showers and essential support services for people sleeping rough. Give Wayside a thought next time you slough off and lather up imaginging days without a warm shower.

Talking to the legend, who played the legend, about the legend. Surreal.

There's not many actors that excite me, however chatting with Heather Mitchell AM about the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a real thrill as we spoke about RBG as though we knew her. I'd seen the play a few times. Heather embodied her. Performing solo the powerful role as RBG transforming across 30 different characters as the RBG who changed the face of the American legal system. The second woman to be appointed to the US Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was both a trailblazer in the American judiciary and a fierce advocate for gender equality and reproductive rights. Heather also a trailblazer.

Two legends. One summit. Zero homilies.

Naomi Simson OAM built something most marketers only theorise about. Co-founder of Big Red Group, she took an early commercial instinct and compounded it into one of Australia's most recognisable consumer brands. She still thinks like a marketer. She still shows up. When she is not building, she is giving back, donating her time and attention to NFPs with the same deliberateness she brings to everything else.

Christie Jenkins went from the elite discipline of professional beach volleyball to the calculated risk of venture capital and now she is building her own accelerator to go deeper into the startup sector. A different arena, the same competitor's mind.

I deal in evidence, not optimism. These two earned the room. No motherhood statements, no fluff. Just grit, focus and the proof to back it up at the Smart Company Growth Summit

Trade, culture, connection woven together
A day that moved from high-level economic dialogue to the rich textures of Mexican artistic heritage.

The morning began at Macquarie Group’s ILLUMINA event space, hosted by Lachlan McKenzie, featuring a discussion led by His Excellency Ernesto Céspedes, Ambassador of Mexico to Australia, on trade, investment, manufacturing and innovation. The session highlighted significant opportunities for Australian businesses, with insights from Ismael Ortiz, Head of the Global Economic Intelligence Unit at Mexico’s Ministry of Economy, joining live from Mexico City and Neil O’Sullivan, CEO of NOJA Power, sharing his on-the-ground experience in CDMX.

Australians are among the world’s highest per-capita consumers of tequila, importing approximately AUD $80 million annually in tequila and beer.

The evening continued at the Australian Museum for the opening of Weaving Memory: Mexican Textile Art, hosted by Director and CEO Kim McKay AO.

Marking 60 years of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Australia in 2026, the exhibition, presented in partnership with the Embassy of Mexico in Australia celebrates shared commitments to democracy, peace and cultural exchange.

Featuring photography, woven works and film, and works from the Tilmahtli project by Miguel Ángel Sosme Campos, the exhibition highlights Indigenous textile traditions and the knowledge passed through generations showing how textiles carry memory, identity and cultural continuity. And how beer and tequila enhance cultural ties.

Here's my takeaway from the conference: Even the strongest GDV & NOI across LMR BTR, SDA & REIT portfolios shaped by TODs, FSR uplift & CPI-linked leases improving IRR through DA timelines and ESG attracting IC can be derailed by a NIMBY leading a CAVE full of BANANAs.

We wear many hats; my designer hard-hat from Cool Hard Hats was right on trend at Sydney Build.
From kick off, with The Hon Anoulack Chanthivong MP’s on the key reform of Integrity to Build Confidence, a thought provoking presentation on Strategy and Design from Adrian Hernandez to meeting new friends and running into friends and colleagues – the one stream of conversation was: the need to communicate.
