Why cultural strategy is outperforming viral campaigns in Africa
One notable example of a brand tapping into this cultural shift is Prime Video. When the global streaming platform entered the Nigerian market, it wasn't just aiming for viewership numbers. It was looking to establish cultural relevance. To achieve this, Prime Video partnered with Pulse, a media and marketing company with deep roots in youth culture across Africa. The result was a series of culturally resonant marketing executions that met audiences at the intersection of entertainment, technology, and local nuance. Among the standout initiatives: A four-city roadshow that brought the brand physically closer to its audiences. High-profile premieres that doubled as real-time content opportunities. Collaborations with influencers and media partners who could localize the message in ways that felt authentic. A nimble, community-driven social media strategy that kept conversations active and evolving. The approach was not just about performance marketing; it focused on perception and cultural imprint. The results point to its success: Brand Launch Reach: Over 4.5 million Engagements: More than 133,000 In a landscape where consumers want to see their values, humor, and realities reflected in brand messaging, such culturally tuned campaigns stand out. Platforms today are more than distribution channels; they are cultural playgrounds. Brands that participate in culture, rather than just advertise within it, are the ones breaking through the noise.

White House personnel aide hanging a shingle
With help from Daniel Lippman and Daniel Desrochers FILLING THE SWAMP: A senior White House official is decamping for K Street — the first instance this year of a prominent aide to President Donald Trump leaving for a lobbying gig, your host scooped. — Trent Morse has been serving since January as deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the Office of Personnel, which vets candidates for thousands of roles across the federal government. His last day at the White House will be next week, after which Morse will launch his own lobbying shop, Morse Strategies. He will also partner with K Street heavy hitter Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck as a senior strategic adviser. — Morse is subject to a one-year cooling off period during which he's barred from lobbying the West Wing directly or representing any foreign entities. But he's free to cash in on his front-row seat in the administration by lobbying the rest of the executive branch right away or advising others lobbying the White House. — 'The president's hired some of the best people across the board,' Morse told PI. 'I'll be excited to be on the other side of that now, helping clients navigate it.' — 'There's not a department that I haven't become familiar with or gotten an understanding on how it works,' he said. 'And I think there's a lot of opportunity to help clients navigate the way this administration [works] and how quickly this administration works.' — White House chief of staff Susie Wiles spoke highly of Morse's new venture in an interview, calling him 'an important and integral part of the successes we've had.' A former lobbyist herself, Wiles told PI that clients are clamoring for 'some guidance about the process and some strategic … counsel' about decoding the Trump administration. 'And nobody is better able to do that' than Morse, she said. — Will Moschella, who co-leads Brownstein's government relations practice, echoed Wiles' assessment of Morse. 'He's going to provide what I think is going to be unrivaled insight into the way the president's team is thinking about issues,' he told PI. 'He's been in the middle of a lot of important debates, and knows a lot of the key players throughout the administration, particularly in the agencies, and he'll be helpful in providing those insights to our clients.' — This isn't Morse's first stint as a lobbyist. After stints at HHS, HUD and DOT during Trump's first term, Morse went to work at Wiles' former haunt Ballard Partners, before eventually joining her at Mercury Public Affairs. Morse has been working with Trump's team for the past year — first heading up external and GOP outreach for last year's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and then working for the transition team. Happy Tuesday and welcome to PI. What else is going on out there? Add me on Signal at caitlinoprysko.17 and email me at coprysko@ and you can add Daniel on Signal at danielbarnes.13 and email Daniel at dbarnes@ And follow us on X: @caitlinoprysko and @dnlbrns. ANOTHER ONE: 'Former White House cryptocurrency official Bo Hines is joining the digital assets giant Tether to advise on its U.S. strategy,' POLITICO's Declan Harty reports. Hines recently stepped down as the executive director of the White House's crypto council, which involved 'helping coordinate the passage of a landmark bill regulating so-called stablecoins, which are a type of crypto token pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar.' — 'Bo's appointment demonstrates our commitment to building a strong U.S.-based presence that spans across multiple sectors, starting with digital assets and expanding to new opportunities, including a deep focus on potential further investments in domestic infrastructure,' Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a statement. — Hines will serve as a strategic adviser for digital assets and U.S. strategy, according to the company, which offers one of the world's most popular stablecoins. FIRST IN PI — WESTERN DIGITAL OPENS D.C. OFFICE: Data storage giant Western Digital is standing up its first office in D.C. as the company looks to expand its lobbying footprint in the nation's capital. Western Digital is one of the world's largest manufacturers of hard drives and semiconductors, which help meet the immense storage demands of data centers used by artificial intelligence companies. The Trump administration is pushing to ramp up construction of the centers as part of its bid for U.S. AI dominance. — The company has tapped Stacey Dion, the former head of global government affairs at Carlyle Group, to lead the new D.C. office. Dion most recently oversaw tax policy work at GE Aerospace, but she previously spent eight years with the Carlyle Group and with Boeing for nearly a decade before that. Before joining the private sector, Dion was an aide to former House GOP Leader John Boehner. — The chipmaker currently has just two outside firms on retainer — BGR Group and the Wessel Group — and has spent just $170,000 on federal lobbying so far this year. BROWNSTEIN TOUTS ACCESS TO TRUMP OFFICIALS IN CLIENT PITCH: As Brazil tries to fight off high tariffs from the Trump administration, the country's top business lobby is in the process of hiring a D.C. lobbying firm, and Brownstein is among the firms vying to get the business, according to a copy of a pitch deck, Lippman reports. — The pitch to the Brazilian National Confederation of Industry, or CNI, says that Brownstein has a proven record of successful outcomes for clients registered under FARA and that its goal is 'to execute a disciplined and proactive influence campaign that enables CNI – and your partners within the Brazilian government – to anticipate and shape policy.' It proposes a fee of $50,000 per month for an initial year-long engagement. — The firm says it has 'strong relationships with President Trump and the officials and agencies responsible for devising and implementing his tariff policies.' — The deck, dated Aug. 1, lists who in the administration the firm can get in front of, including the White House's Peter Navarro and Kevin Hassett, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and USTR Jamieson Greer. For its State Department contacts, it mistakenly says it can reach 'Jacob Herbert – Under Secretary for Economic Affairs (pending confirmation),' referring to Jacob Helberg. — But Navarro pushed back on the pitch deck's claims in a post on Substack today. 'You will NEVER darken my White House door,' he wrote. 'Don't want to trip on your slime.' — The Brazilian government hasn't hired any firms with connections to the Trump administration, according to a search of FARA records, so this effort may be a way to find an alternative way to influence the administration. — A spokesperson for Brownstein told PI that CNI asked them for a proposal a month ago but there's been no follow-up since. CNI didn't respond to a request for comment on the status of its hiring of a firm. LOOMING LARGE: 'Laura Loomer is all the talk in Washington, D.C. The right-wing influencer … touts herself as President Donald Trump's informal adviser and argues—not incorrectly—that she has more power than many people inside it,' Gabe Kaminsky writes for the Free Press. 'What that means, in practice, is mostly getting people fired who she believes are disloyal to the president.' — 'Inside the White House, though, some senior officials have had it with Loomer. They are increasingly suspicious of her true motives, and have speculated that what she says and does is influenced by lobbying firms and companies trying to advance their own interests, according to four White House officials and another Trump administration official.' ICYMI — A4A HIRES SUNUNU: Airlines for America, the preeminent lobby for the biggest commercial and cargo carriers in the U.S., has tapped former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu as the trade group's next president and CEO. The four-term governor would have been a top GOP recruit to run for an open Senate seat next year, but passed on the opportunity — despite a preemptive endorsement from Trump. — Sununu will replace A4A's longtime leader Nick Calio, who will stay on as CEO emeritus through the end of the year. Sununu will take the reins next month, and comes aboard at a critical moment for the aviation industry, which has been pushing hard for improvements to the nation's air traffic control infrastructure amid a surge of near misses on tarmacs and following January's deadly collision near Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport. — The former governor also told POLITICO's Pavan Acharya that he's eager to work with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on ATC improvements, and supports Duffy's efforts to secure an extra $19 billion in funding for the initiative, on top of $12.5 billion that was included in the GOP reconciliation package. — Airlines for America, whose members include Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, as well as FedEx and UPS, has spent more than $2.8 million on lobbying through the first half of 2025, which has included advocacy on tariffs, credit card swipe fees, sustainable aviation fuel, airport security and more. ALFORD SPEAKS OUT: 'An antitrust lawyer who was dismissed last month from the Justice Department accused senior officials of cutting deals with favored lobbyists and undermining the independence of antitrust enforcement,' The Wall Street Journal's Dave Michaels reports. — 'Roger Alford, formerly the antitrust division's second-in-command, on Monday said two senior aides to Attorney General Pam Bondi had corrupted the department's typical law-enforcement process for dealing with antitrust lawsuits. The two senior officials were heavily involved in negotiating a proposed settlement in June that allowed Hewlett Packard Enterprise to acquire a competitor, Juniper Networks.' — 'Alford called on a federal court in San Jose, Calif., that is overseeing the Justice Department's proposed resolution to 'examine the surprising truth of what happened.'' He accused Bondi's chief of staff Chad Mizelle of 'favoring outside lawyers and lobbyists with whom he is friends,' per WSJ. 'Mizelle and another top aide to Bondi, Stanley Woodward, played significant roles in how the department settled with HPE and Juniper in June, Alford said.' DOJ and HPE both defended the settlement, and rejected Alford's claims. Jobs report — Christopher Kirchhoff is joining Scale AI as head of applied AI strategy and global security. He founded the Pentagon's Silicon Valley office and is a National Security Council and Google alum. — The National Association of Manufacturers is adding Ted Allen as senior director of corporate finance policy, Reagan Giesenschlag as director of chemicals, materials and sustainability policy and Kevin Doyle as director of international policy. Allen previously was vice president of policy and advocacy at the Society for Corporate Governance. Giesenschlag previously was director of government affairs at the Fertilizer Institute.

Meet the 'social magazine' app that started as a newsletter interviewing celebs like Charli XCX
"Do you miss the old internet?" That's the question you're hit with if you find yourself on the website for Perfectly Imperfect. Founded in 2020 by Tyler Bainbridge, a former engineer at Meta, and Alex Cushing, Perfectly Imperfect is a culture newsletter that has interviewed downtown New York idols and celebrities from Charli XCX to Lorde. It launched a social networking app in 2024. Bainbridge told Business Insider that his project is trying to capture what the old internet "felt like." "When it felt like the goal was to bring people together and the content that people were sharing was purely driven by a need to connect," he said. The Perfectly Imperfect app, called does feel like it exists in an older version of the internet. I've been using the app myself for over a year, and it's been one of the closest comparable experiences to the yee-old days of Tumblr or pre-Elon Twitter I've found in my endless pursuit of new corners of the internet. The app is built around a feed filled with users' "recs" for music and movies, with life advice and other content sprinkled in. Usernames are sometimes pseudonyms and call back to the Tumblr blog names that teens would vie for. Like Tumblr or MySpace, users' profile pages are customizable. Jacob Bijani, the blogging site's fifth employee. Bainbridge describes PI as a "social magazine." He's part of a cohort of founders and users seeking experiences outside platforms like Meta's Instagram and Facebook, X, or TikTok. New social networks have been cropping up in the last few years, and investors are on the hunt for the next big thing in social to emerge. While there's been some contenders since the rise of TikTok — such as Clubhouse or BeReal — many apps have had fleeting virality. The business of a 'social magazine' Bainbridge said that the newsletter has about 140,000 subscribers, of whom 74,000 have joined the app. Formerly a Substack newsletter, PI left the platform in 2024 and now runs its newsletter internally. Paid subscriptions are $6 a month and unlock features like the ability to further customize your profile, access the newsletter archive, and receive extra newsletter content. Bainbridge said PI has about 2,000 paying users as of late July. Revenue is split mostly between these subscriptions and partnerships with brands, Bainbridge said. PI recently worked with Hinge on a guide about being awkward as part of the Match Group-owned dating app's One More Hour initiative, which set aside $1 million to back projects fueling in-person connection. While the PI newsletter has ads, Bainbridge said he plans to keep the social app free of ads because they could "diminish the user experience." Bainbridge said the company has raised capital to hire more staff, expand into video, and grow the app. He declined to disclose the size of the raise. The PI team consists of three full-time staffers and five part-time contractors, Bainbridge said. Turning recommendations into real-life experiences Earlier this year, PI rolled out a feature that lets users share whether they're single and who they're interested in. "I heard about a lot of people who started dating on the platform, and to me it makes perfect sense," he said. "There's a nice big photo of someone, and then right below that is exactly what they're interested in as a person." People were also organizing meetups on the app, Bainbridge said, which fueled the app's conviction around its latest product overhaul: events. The app now lets users share events happening in their area to the public feed, such as concerts or an arts and crafts night. Some are organized by PI, too, like a bowling event in Brooklyn sponsored by Hinge. PI's next era has shades of Facebook's events and Reddit's niche communities. Later this year, PI plans to expand its app further with tools to make private communities or groups. "We want to hit a million users sometime next year," Bainbridge said. "I think a lot of that's going to come from some of these product-oriented growth features."
