PNR 168: Digital Advertising Shrinking, Except for Google and Facebook

In this episode of This Old Marketing, Joe and Robert discuss the Upworthy/Good merger and what it means for more agency/publisher deals.  The boys also discuss the possible revenue models for Medium, and it seems that digital advertising is shrinking for all publishers...except for Google and Facebook.  Rants and raves include CMO.com and Digital Sense.  This week's TOM example: The Hop Grenade Tap Room and Bottle Shop.
