In this week's episode, Robert and I marvel at the phone number list whirlwind of new content-based agencies announced this week at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. We talk about their business models and reflect on the challenges they are likely to face. We admire the new print magazine from commercial real estate giant CBRE, which has a solid strategy behind it. We close with a discussion of television, which seems phone number list to be enjoying a renaissance lately, despite many predictions of its demise. The phone number list accolades and accolades include Cannes' messy and confusing schedule and what content marketers can learn from advice from a millionaire (no, really!). 1. Content Marketing in the News Daily Mail, WPP and Snapchat launch native ad agency: (4:50): The phone number list Daily Mail, ad agency giant WPP and Snapchat plan to launch an agency to capitalize on the rise of native advertising , according to The phone number list Guardian. It will not be linked to working with WPP's advertising clients or with the Daily Mail as its sole media partner. Instead, he will be free to sue his own clients in the media and advertising industries. The phone number list new agency will be called Truffle Pig, a very strange nickname that does not reflect its strategic objective. Robert and I have our doubts about this new adventure, which brings together three very diverse partners with radically different cultures. This announcement is associated with the following two articles. How Television Won the Internet (27:41): Television is experiencing one phone number list of its greatest periods of growth in history, according to this article in The New York Times.

Rants and raves (40:51) Robert's rant: For the second year, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity judges did not award a grand prize, citing a lack of outstanding content and problems with the phone number list precise categorization of entries. Robert reviewed the branded content judging criteria, as well as the three entries that received Gold or Silver Lions. None of them focus on content. Two were ad campaigns, and the third was a grassroots effort (the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge). It's a mess. Robert also gives a shoutout phone number list to Cannes' funny and snarky Tumblr page You Please Shut Up, which pokes fun at festival agencies' self-important tweets.
