In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the movement by major publishers to create content "inside" Facebook's walls. Does this mean that the future of the web could be dominated by Facebook? In addition, the boys discuss whether "content blindness" is actually a thing, review a research study that says digital natives actually prefer print, and preview Airbnb's publishing strategy. Rants and raves include a TechCrunch article that goes beyond what's real. This week's TOM example of the week: Pepsodent and Bob Hope. |

Then, more about PR's role in content marketing and a quick look at revenue models for podcasts. Rants and raves include Starbucks and IDG. This week's TOM example of the week: Back Country. |

Joe says 4 out of 10 (whatever that means). In addition, the boys discuss the New York Times going Hollywood with native advertising, and why PR is the new content marketing (sort of). Rants and raves include why marketers can't measure and how to get your long-form articles to go viral. This week's TOM example of the week: RCA Records and Kellogg's. |
