NetJets curtails jet card sales for second time in five years

NetJets, despite operating a fleet of 868 private jets, is limiting sales of its jet cards and leases for the second time in five years as demand outpaces supply.

ReadingNetJets' capacity constraint is now structural, not cyclical. Every competitor they have is taking market share by offering what NetJets cannot: immediate availability at 12–18 month wait times.
WatchThe next NetJets earnings call will disclose utilization metrics. Those numbers will confirm whether constraint is supply or demand.

Alter Ego seeks £20m to open another premium Mayfair members' club

A group of businessmen behind the Alter Ego brand are seeking tens of millions of pounds to finance another private members' club in Mayfair, catering to London's affluent demographic.

Summer 2026 proved B2B marketing's future is experiential, not broadcast

Forbes Communications Council reports that the best B2B brands are borrowing from B2C playbooks by creating stronger brand experiences, deeper trust, and more meaningful connections through experiential marketing.

ReadingB2B brands that shift budget from event sponsorship to owned-and-operated experiences will see margin expansion. Everyone else will compete on price and attendance volume.
WatchWatch Q4 marketing budgets. If experiential allocations hold above 30% of total spend, the trend is real. If they slide back to 12–15%, it was just a summer thing.
