Brands go social-first as creator budgets climb and agencies feel the squeeze

Brands go social-first as creator budgets climb and agencies feel the squeeze

Creativebrief says brands are shifting social and creator marketing into core growth plans, not just a side media play. The research shows marketers’ budgets are moving faster than their trust in agencies to deliver on this work. The timing is key here—brands already moved the money. Creativebrief polled over 50 senior marketing leaders from Surreal, Tinder, Unilever, Starbucks, Monzo and others in the first half of 2026. Of those, 83% said their social and creator budgets went up in the past two years.
FTSE 100 Today: Why UK Stocks Are Barely Moving as DCC, Unilever and the BoE Dominate London Trading

FTSE 100 Today: Why UK Stocks Are Barely Moving as DCC, Unilever and the BoE Dominate London Trading

The FTSE 100 edged 0.10% higher to 10,222.85 in early London trading Thursday, while the FTSE 250 managed a 0.05% lift to 22,212.77. Brent crude advanced 3.52% to $122.19 a barrel, inflation and rate worries refusing to let up. That slight uptick stood out after the FTSE 100 slid 1.2% on Wednesday—marking the seventh loss in eight sessions and putting the index at a one-month low. Recent declines have come on the back of uneven earnings and investor wariness ahead of policy moves from central banks in the US and UK.

Unilever Stock Price: Why Shares Are Stuck Near 4,840p Despite a €1.5 Billion Buyback

Unilever shares stuck close to 4,840 pence on Thursday, just a touch below the 4,846 pence finish from the previous session. The stock slipped 1.24% by the close on Wednesday as investors digested February guidance from the Dove and Hellmann's owner, pointing to 2026 sales growth landing at the lower end of its target range. The ice cream spinoff is finally complete—one less distraction for Unilever. With the Magnum Ice Cream Company demerged back in December, CEO Fernando Fernandez faces the task of showing that a more focused lineup—beauty, wellbeing, personal care—can actually deliver more consistent growth.
Unilever PLC Shares Slip as Oil Shock Revives 2026 Growth Doubts After Magnum Spin-Off

Unilever PLC Shares Slip as Oil Shock Revives 2026 Growth Doubts After Magnum Spin-Off

Unilever slipped 0.64% to finish at 4,903.5 pence on Monday in London, with the shares losing ground as oil prices soared and European equities broadly sold off. Investors kept a close watch on the group’s performance, still digesting the recent spin-off of its ice cream business and eyeing its growth prospects. This shift is significant: Unilever, back on Feb. 12, flagged that 2026 sales growth would likely hit the lower end of its 4%-6% multi-year band after encountering weaker demand in both the U.S. and Europe. Now, Chief Executive Fernando Fernandez faces pressure to prove that a leaner, sharper Unilever has what it takes.

Unilever PLC’s India Unit Exits Nutritionalab as Premium Growth Push Gains Pace

Hindustan Unilever, the India arm of Unilever PLC, has wrapped up the sale of its full 19.8% holding in Nutritionalab Private Limited. The deal fetched around 307 crore rupees, or about 3.07 billion rupees in total, according to a March 4 filing with the stock exchange. This shift is significant right now as HUL puts more money behind premium, high-growth segments. On Feb. 18, the company announced plans to invest as much as 2,000 crore rupees over two years to boost manufacturing for Beauty & Wellbeing and Home Care liquids. CEO Priya Nair described the move as a way to “scale our brands and create categories of the future.”
