Peter Morris sounds tall. At least that’s what the CEO of PodcastOne, a leading ad-supported podcast network, would like listeners to picture in their minds, as he kidded around with me between serious pod-pitching. Morris, clearly a fan of the network that claims over 300 podcasts, touted the hosts and popular influencers, celebrities, and powerful voices they represent. (The biggest example might be Adam Carolla, who with one of...

Since I interviewed the CMO of The Clorox Company at last year's ANA Masters of Marketing conference - who was since promoted to EVP, I thought it would be interesting to speak with the new chief marketing officer of The Clorox Company – who happens to be a woman – to get an update.

I learned a couple of hours in advance that I’d be speaking with Sir Martin Sorrell before one of his myriad panels at Advertising Week. As you listen to this podcast episode – and if you know anything about him – you’ll realize I needn’t have worr...
Jonathan Gudai was in the process of selling his eCommerce business in 2015. He’d spent his entire career since college in online sales when he met the founders of “this Adomni thing,” who owned a bit of out-of-home inventory in the Las Vegas area. When he learned that most of the ads sold in the OOH world were done person-to-person manually, he “got really excited about the opportunity to help bring my eCommerce and online buying ...
Hear why mcgarrybowen’s global chief strategic officer, Jennifer Zimmerman, does crossword puzzles religiously, but more importantly how hear how the Big Organizing Idea platform of the agency came about, why it's "mission critical" and how it sparked new creative for American Express and drone-dropping hotdogs for Oscar Mayer.

Close to 3,000 people actually chose to go to Orlando in August to partake in discussions – some of which were hotter than the weather -- surrounding podcasting at Podcast Movement 2019. Attendees could choose a free lapel pin to wear -- “2 Years,” “3 Years” -- to tout their attendance anniversary. Biggest bragging rights went to those sporting a 6-Year pin, evidence of their foresight as the first to attend what’s become the large...
Newsy, upstart news service across linear, OTT and mobile platforms, is aiming to also offer newsworthy ways to spotlight brands doing well by doing good. One-off profiles to short form docu-series by Andy Brownell, vice president of Newsy Brand Studio, and Joey Maiocco, producer, are not hard-driving headline stories, but are, nonetheless, of great importance to impressing and retaining more and more influential consumers.
With the ubiquity of content marketing today, creating new ways to marry brands with creative is essential.
