Welcome to Marketing Brew Weekly! This week, we’re making our bets on the future of prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket. Should brands take the risk of partnering with them when their future is so unclear, or is it worth the shiny, new audience? From their involvement in everything from global news to grocery stores, we weigh the pros and cons of predicting.  00:00: Intro  02:53: An unlikely place for prediction markets to be 05:45: Their play into the entertainment world   08:50: Turning live TV into a social media experience   10:30: The risk element  14:05: How the brands are leaning into their value  16:10: A way to appeal to a new audience  19:50: The ethical question of it all  20:40: What happens next?  Join us this May for the Marketing Brew Social & Creator Marketing event, covering what’s driving real ROI in the creator economy right now.
