This Old Marketing

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss an article about social media marketing being dead.  Well, is it dead, or are most brands just using it wrong (the latter)?  Podcasting is bigger and better than ever, and native advertising is NOT content marketing (let's say that together, shall we?).  Rants and raves include experiences and a clear lack of strategy.  This week's TOM example of the week: White Castle.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the big $48 million dollar purchase of content agency King Content, followed by a discussion around more M&A to come in 2016.  Oracle buys Maxymiser for further proof.  The boys then discuss, in detail, the F&W model that all brands can learn from, and, Facebook now draws more news traffic than Google (or do they?).  Raves include the New York Times email newsletters and the opportunity for local publishers.  This week's TOM example of the week: Sherwin Williams.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert talk briefly about Google, or should we say, Alphabet, before moving on to a critical issue for publishers: Online Display Advertising and its demise.  Then, the boys discuss the hi-jacking of the term "content marketing" and are journalists really content marketers after all.  More content marketing research as well. Raves include Target and Nike's video program.  TOM Example of the Week: Aldus Pagemaker.

In this episode of PNR's #ThisOldMarketing, Robert and Joe discuss the future of content, and why so many brands and agencies are looking more at advertising opportunities than owning their own platforms.  Facebook launches a new live video program for celebrities (at least for now) and the Uber of Agencies is coming to a town near you.  Rants and raves include a MillerCoors video series and how some people get content marketing all wrong.  This week's TOM example of the week: Arch Shaw.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the craziness around the Hubspot scandal (and why these things seem to happen in Boston ;). Then the boys go in-depth into a series of articles about the media landscape.  Will media companies just turn into wire service companies?  Who really owns the audience?  Where is this all going?  After a short chat about podcasting, rants include Cecil the Lion and YouTube.  This week's TOM example of the week: American Bee Journal.
