Summary

In this conversation, Tim and Emmy-Award Winning Media Researcher, Bill Harvey, Founder/Chairman at Research Measurement Technologies, Inc., unpack the evolution of addressable TV advertising technology, focusing on the development of driver tags and their impact on recommendation engines. Bill shares insights from his early work in the industry, the creation of a system that distilled a million words into 265 driver tags, became the concept of 'Resonance' (vs Attention), and how these tags have proven to be more effective than other traditional attention metrics in predicting sales outcomes.

The discussion covers the integration of resonance in digital advertising, the relationship between resonance and physical context, and the future of addressability and AI in advertising.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
