Podcast Updates and Links

With Semafor, The Current and more!

Over the last couple of weeks, beyond producing our own podcasts, we appeared speaking at length on several others covering a range of topics. We’re providing links to those podcasts in this brief note.

First, new in the last few days we appeared with Semafor’s Ben Smith and Nayeema Raza on Semafor’s Mixed Signals podcast for an extended conversation about Ozy Media in the wake of Carlos Watson’s sentencing last week. We dive into a broad range of advertising industry “shenanigans” in this context.

Last week, The Current published an interview with us focused on Omnicom-Interpublic. This followed on earlier interviews on the same topic with AdExchanger as part of their Big Story series here and with Medical Marketing and Media here.

Also during the middle of the month, The Internationalist’s Deb Malone published an interview focused on both the agency consolidation topic and the advertising forecast here. Around the same time we also participated in an interview with MediaVillage’s Jack Myers on similar topics here.

And of course, among our own properties for your listening consideration, we have the new Agency Business podcast. Collaborating with FusionFront Media we launched the first two of this series which will continue in the new year, first with an interview of Paul Woolmington and second featuring a conversation about Omnicom-Interpublic with Forrester’s Jay Pattisal. Finally, we also have the Madison and Wall podcast, which serves as a summary of the work we do. Our newest (and final edition for the year) came out this weekend.

With some luck, it will be a relatively quiet holiday season. Presuming that’s the case we look forward to interacting with everyone again in the new year. Happy holidays!
