Uber is launching a new Creative Studio for brands
BY Everyday, Uber books more than 30 million rides around the world. Each of these trips tells the company something about its customers. Where they're going, what they're doing, and when they are there. Then there are the tens of millions of Uber Eats orders processed each day, which clocks what people are buying, how often, and when. Combined, you have an incredibly valuable collection of data for other brands to use in order to get our attention. Now, Uber is officially launching its own in-house Creative Studio to help brands to do exactly that. The new division of Uber Advertising will be working with brands to create not only adds on its digital platform, but custom IRL experiences like special ride offers, giveaways, and more. Uber's global head of sales Megan Ramm says that this is more about formalizing something brands have been asking for given how the company's platform is such a natural bridge between our online and offline lives. 'Uber is where we feel culture shows up in real life,' says Ramm. 'When something big is happening in the world, we see it on Uber. If it's an event or a product drop, a concert, or even coming home from the office, it's all happening in real life. And we're seeing that's when and how brands want to connect with people that are using the platform.' The rapid rise of retail media networks in recent years is well-documented. Everything from store shelves to ecommerce apps have become media opportunities for advertising. Dentsu research has reported that 75% of US consumers are influenced by brands advertised in-store, and eMarketer reported that U.S. Retail Media Ad spending was up by $4 billion in 2024. This new offering from Uber makes perfect sense. The company has already long utilized the captive audience on its apps as a vehicle for brands to get our attention, now it's expanding that to actually working to craft a wider variety of ways for brands to do just that. The extended deadline for Fast Company's Brands That Matter Awards is this Friday, June 6, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

These are the 10 prompts in DeepSeek to help you create a budget
Creating a home budget doesn't have to always involve an Excel spreadsheet and coffee to keep you awake during the process. Instead, AI bots can guide you through a budget and make it much easier to track your income and expenses. I should know — I avoid the topic as much as possible. For years, I calculated most of my expenses in my head and hoped it all worked out. Roughly about 10 years ago, I started relying on apps like Mint to help me and even the tools provided by my bank. Recently, I tried using DeepSeek to guide me through the process. It's amazing how these 10 prompts can help you figure out where all of the money is going. Here are the best ones to try. Before diving into the details of a home budget, you can start by asking DeepSeek which home budget works best for you. Fortunately, this prompt provides a wealth of information, no pun intended. DeepSeek presents several options for home budgets including the popular Zero-Based Budget' that helps you track income, expenses and savings down to the last dollar. In that home budget, you put money into savings first, then allocate money to other things. This prompt really narrows things down, because it means you'll need to budget more aggressively. DeepSeek recommends several budgets but two of them are worth calling out. The first one is a percentage system called an Aggressive Savings plan. 50% goes to needs, 20% to savings, 10% to debt, and 20% to wants. DeepSeek also recommended the zero-based budget, which prioritizes savings even more — but maybe a little too much for me. I decided to try the Aggressive Savings plan because it looked practical and achievable to me. I was impressed with all of the detail DeepSeek provides here, listing a full table of expenditures with suggestions for how much to set aside for groceries, gas, and credit card debt. Using this budget means I could save $192 per week — reaching my $10,000 per year goal. So far the prompts and suggestions have all been generic — they could apply to anyone. I decided to make it more personal. I asked about customizing for my income level and DeepSeek then guided me through the entire budget process. The AI asked for my annual income and expenses including car payments and student loans. DeepSeek also asked where I sometimes slip up — say, by overpaying for Uber Eats. I inputted all of this info. (Truth be told — I made up some details. I am not yet comfortable adding actual data to an AI bot yet.) I noticed my final home budget required saving about $833 per month, which seemed a little high. I asked DeepSeek to adjust my budget to save a little less, and suddenly it all seemed more practical. I was allocating more money to eating out and gas/groceries without having to sacrifice so many things that I'd end up failing. I was happy with the results so far. I knew at this point that a home budget would not be useful if it was just contained within a chatbot. I asked DeepSeek to generate an Excel file and was a little surprised when it generated a CSV file instead. (I'm sure there are copyright issues with providing an Excel file.) No matter — I imported the file into Google Sheets using the comma-separated values. A home budget is not just about the numbers and creating a spreadsheet. What works the best is when you have an action plan each month that helps you adhere to the budget. I was surprised, though, when DeepSeek offered some unusual suggestions to help. The bot said I could consider doing a side gig to help generate more income, which seemed smart. Another surprise is that the bot suggested a temporary pause on some charitable donations. Mint is a popular home finance app and I've used it many times. Ironically, I had never actually important a spreadsheet before and DeepSeek noted that is not even possible. Instead, the chatbot suggested inputting all of the info manually, which seemed clunky. And guess what? The bot actually used that word. DeepSeek said 'If this feels clunky…' to try some competing apps that do support imports. DeepSeek also offered to show screenshots of Mint to help me see where to input the budget info. This process took several minutes, though. And, they were not real screenshots — instead, DeepSeek created text-based guidelines. I asked DeepSeek for more guidance, and the bot covered quite a few practical tips for managing my money — one involved using a cash-based budget where you put money into envelopes for different spending categories. Another tip was to wait 24 hours before spending X amount of money (say $5) if it is an impulse buy. Lastly, I asked DeepSeek to save my home budget and all of the tips. It turns out, DeepSeek can't save anything as a text file, so the bot suggested I copy all of the text and paste it into Google Docs or another word processor. That worked just fine for me!

Paramount May Usher In a Big Change to Hollywood's Ruling Class (Guest Column)
Family offices have long been part of Hollywood's DNA, quietly shaping its most iconic moments and technological progress. Paramount Pictures was one of Hollywood's first family-controlled studios under business titan Adolph Zukor, who developed the vertical integration approach, ensuring that ambitious films like Wings (1927), the first Oscar winner, got the resources and distribution they needed to succeed. The recent David Ellison-Paramount Global deal is a prime example of how private wealth is returning to Hollywood to once again play a pivotal role in shaping Hollywood's future with a blend of technology, creativity and flexible capital. Family offices now command financial firepower on par with the world's largest media giants (the Ellison family's net worth currently sits around $200 billion — greater than the market cap of Comcast and on par with that of Disney), but unlike those media giants, family offices can make billion dollar decisions via text based on their business and creative instincts. More from The Hollywood Reporter Upfronts Kick Off: Hollywood's Ad Dollar Scramble Arrives in Strangest Market in Years Paramount+ Hits 79 Million Subscribers as Streaming Loss Shrinks to $109 Million 'Avatar: The Last Airbender in Concert - The 20th Anniversary Tour' to Take Flight (Exclusive) With the entertainment industry undergoing an overall business model transformation with the advent of streaming and digital disruption, as well as changing consumer behavior, family office capital has many advantages compared to institutional capital, which is constrained by its very nature. To wit, institutional capital has formal and rigid management structures, restrictions on the types securities/investments allowed, timing and duration limitations on capital invested, requirements for management fees and other performance fees, financial metrics that must be met, regulatory compliance and reporting, complex formalities including voting and approval structures that slow things down and lead to unpredictable outcomes depending on ever-changing leadership teams. Conversely, family offices think generationally, are nimble and are not subject to any of those constraints, making them a solid fit for an industry undergoing change and requiring fast, easy, flexible solutions. Any operator who has led an organization through a turbulent market with misaligned short-term quarter-to-quarter capital knows the burden it can have on creativity, as the executive team is often afraid to make bold choices for fear of not delivering on predictable results or they are simply not allowed to proceed, which creates real frustration internally and leads to a crisis of corporate culture. We are witnessing an unprecedented shift in global wealth dynamics, and with it, a surge in family office influence such as the Ellisons. As of May 2024, the global family office market comprised approximately 4,500 single-family offices (SFOs) and 2,500 multi-family offices (MFOs), collectively managing $4.77 trillion and $6.65 trillion in assets, respectively, according to With Intelligence and the Highworth Family Offices Database (which is more AUM than the entire private equity industry). However, these figures only account for discoverable family offices; many operate discreetly, making it difficult to gauge their true scale. With total AUM projected to surpass $11.41 trillion by 2026, family offices are poised to become even more dominant forces in global finance, influencing everything from venture capital to the entertainment industry. As one of the world's largest family offices, Hollywood is rallying behind Ellison, an investor deeply immersed in the creative process and known for being talent-friendly. Ellison's production company, Skydance Media, has produced a mix of original and franchise content, showcasing his commitment to artistic risk-taking and an understanding of storytelling that resonates with global audiences. Dean Devlin, Ellison's former collaborator on Flyboys, hailed him as a 'creative first' powerhouse who founded Skydance to prioritize art over profits. Jeff Shell, soon-to-be Paramount president, described him as someone uniquely positioned at the crossroads of innovation and artistry. Ellison is known for his collaborative partnerships with filmmakers such as Tom Cruise, which may test the limits of any budget conscious studio executive, yet which have paid huge dividends in success. Ellison is not alone in this shift toward family office influence and capital in Hollywood. Bernard Arnault ($154 billion net worth), CEO of LVMH, launched 22 Montaigne Entertainment to challenge Hollywood's creative stagnation, while the Pinault family office ($40 billion net worth) acquired a majority stake in CAA, one of Hollywood's leading talent agencies (which also recently launched a 'Family Office Practice'). Some recent box office successes had family office capital behind them, including Teddy Schwarzman's Black Bear Pictures with A Working Man (No. 1 at the box office), and billionaire Steven Rales's Indian Paintbrush, which won awards for Conclave which has exploded in popularity with the election of Pope Leo XIV (luck or billionaire insight – you decide). Eldridge Industries co-founder and CEO Todd Boehly, through his stake in independent entertainment company A24, has underwritten daring projects like Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Whale — films that might have never seen the light of day in today's blockbuster-driven studio system, yet went on to earn critical and commercial success. (Boehly's Eldridge Industries also has an ownership stake in The Hollywood Reporter.) Similarly, Dan Friedkin's Imperative Entertainment helped bankroll Martin Scorsese's $200 million opus Killers of the Flower Moon, a gamble few studios today would dare attempt. Some of recent decades' most critically acclaimed and culturally significant films also owe their existence to family office-backed capital. RatPac Entertainment, co-founded by Australian billionaire James Packer, is a striking example. RatPac's investments helped bring to life films like The Revenant (2015) and Bridge of Spies (2015), both of which earned widespread critical acclaim and swept major awards circuits — together contributing to an impressive haul of 59 Academy Award nominations and 25 wins. Backed by South Korea's Lee family (Samsung), CJ ENM has also proven how patient, family office capital can uplift meaningful stories with global resonance, including Parasite, Decision to Leave, and The Admiral: Roaring Currents. With a content budget approaching a billion dollars in 2025, CJ ENM is certain to create more globally recognized cinematic achievements. Equally important are the billionaires who find meaningful cultural impact in their Hollywood investments. Participant Media, founded by billionaire Jeff Skoll, showed how private capital can fuel stories that matter and shape culture. Skoll-backed films earned 86 Academy Award nominations and 21 wins, including best picture triumphs with Green Book and Spotlight, and documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth, before Participant ceased operations in April 2024. Skoll, long regarded as one of Hollywood's most creatively driven billionaires, championed passion projects alongside the likes of George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh and Matt Damon. By any measure, Skoll achieved more in terms of creative impact-driven cinema than any billionaire before him — and that legacy deserves celebration. Skoll was truly Roosevelt's 'Man In The [Hollywood] Arena,' and with more than $5 billion in net worth remaining after his Hollywood sojourn, a comfortable retirement still appears assured. In an era where AI is shaping every industry, Ellison is uniquely positioned to lead Paramount's transformation and his forward-looking vision is already underway. On an investor call, he laid out plans to double down on core competencies with a 'creative first' mindset. With his Oracle pedigree, Ellison plans to make New Paramount (as the merged company will be known) a 'tech hybrid' that leverages cloud-based production and generative AI, ensuring that operational efficiency and creative expression grow in tandem to redefine modern filmmaking. Ellison will be tasked with leadership decisions at Paramount Networks and CBS. Those moves require patient, visionary capital capable of weathering the early days of the inevitable J curve without fear of changing direction in the face of quarterly pressures. Ellison's rise offers Hollywood a much-needed course correction in an industry where financial engineering often trumps creative ambition. Ellison's vision, if realized, could dismantle Hollywood's addiction to safe bets and reignite a culture of risk-taking and bold decision making — the kind that birthed Chinatown and The Godfather. The merger, already cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the European Commission, is now poised to clear its final hurdle with the Federal Communications Commission. Let's all hope that President Trump and FCC chairman Brendan Carr promptly approve the deal and restore creativity in Hollywood, so we can all go back to the movies. Greg Suess is a co-founder and head of Activist Artists Management's Family Office Practice, which works with David Steward II's Lionforge Entertainment, the Jonas family (Zedge & IDW), Micheal Loeb ( the Anderson family, Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling and more.
