What Is Vibe Marketing - and Why Now?


Marketers have long relied on demographics, intent data, and even contextual cues to reach consumers.


But as digital behaviour fragments and traditional targeting weakens, there's a growing shift toward something more human, more emotional.


Vibe Marketing is about tapping into the mood, energy, and atmosphere surrounding a moment.


It asks not just who your audience is, but how they feel right now.

Are they in a relaxed weekend mindset, or in a productivity zone on a Monday morning? Are they immersed in nostalgia or seeking motivation?


With the right tools and signals - many of which are IDfree - brands can align their messaging with these subtle emotional rhythms.


The payoff? A deeper connection and more relevance, without relying on personal data.


What Else Is in This Edition?


Beyond Vibe Marketing, this issue unpacks several critical shifts shaping the marketing landscape:

  • The Future of Cross-Screen TV Measurement
