Ten years of appointments. PET scans, MRIs, bloodwork, and more than a few batches of cookies for the research staff along the way.

Colby Rottler joined the ADNI study at Butler Hospital’s Memory and Aging Program after watching a lifelong friend decline with Alzheimer’s. More than a decade later, he continues to come back, motivated by the opportunity to contribute to research that could make a difference for others.

“You’ve got three or four appointments a year, two or three hours each time, but that’s a small thing to give." Over the years, the people at MAP have become much more than a research team. As Colby puts it, “these people are like my grandchildren.”

Just in time for yesterday, our Laura Dunn and Marci Seney attended the Women's Business Development Council (WBDC) 's Catalyst Symposium, and it was the perfect way to spend the day.

With a room full of Connecticut women running businesses, swapping stories, and cheering on the founders brave enough to pitch for $25,000 grants, we left feeling grateful to be part of such a supportive community of women in business.

And we gained some valuable new information and insights to apply to our own business here at Dunn Marketing. (We'll be sharing some of them in an upcoming edition of The DM, too - subscribe if you haven't already: https://mailchi.mp/dunnmarketing/the-dm .)

Here's to the women building something of their own, today and every day. Thank you,

Twenty-five years ago today. We remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the first responders and recovery workers who gave everything, and the families who have lived with that absence every day since. Connecticut lost more than 150 of its own that morning, neighbors from towns across our state. In the years since, we have watched communities here and everywhere respond the way people do when it matters most: by showing up for each other. That is what we are thinking about today.

📊 75% of marketers have adopted AI. Only 32% of consumers trust it.

That gap is where the next two years get decided.

Researchers put people in front of AI-generated ads while monitoring brain activity. People picked out the AI ones without being told — and the irritation didn't stop at the ad. It followed the brand. 🧠

We use AI at DM every day. It's cut market research that took a week down to about a day. It also never goes out the door without a person asking three questions: does this sound like the client, is it actually true, and will it land the way we intend for whoever receives it?

AI can write a draft. It can't tell your story. ✍️
