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?
