In this week's #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss how Facebook is leveraging native advertising to significantly alter the business model for publishers.  This, in turn, becomes a huge opportunity for brands.  In addition, FB announces that they are starting to pay media companies (and influencers) to create video on their platforms.  In other news, native advertising is booming (who knew?).  Rants and raves include Garrison Keillor and Print.  This week's TOM example: Steelcase.

In this week's #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert talk about brands moving to Facebook's instant articles (in this case, Intel), and how FB needs to do more to help educate marketers and advertisers than their newly launched "creative hub". Podcasting gets a shot in the arm with eBay, and somewhere out there are some very happy, but very disillusioned marketers.  Rants and raves include Snapchat's new magazine.  TOM example of the week: Investools.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss how content marketing and advertising don't compete with each other and, believe it or not, are actually different (to some people's dismay).

In this week's episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert take a close look at honesty in content marketing. The FTC comes down hard on Lord & Taylor for untoward native advertising practices, while publishers struggle with content recommendations digging into credibility.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the idea of "peak content" and how there are two camps - one of more content and more traffic and one of the right content and the right traffic.  Email, of all things, could be a big opportunity for content marketers in the future, and the boys talk about what it's going to take to land a role as chief content officer.  Rants and raves include PewDiePie and creativity.  This week's TOM example: Karo Syrup.
