Olivier Blanchard and Christine Perkett joined host Shel Holtz for conversations about these topics:

  • PR and communication associations are lining up — with varying levels of enthusiasm — to answer Richard Edelman’s call for a universal set of ethics principles.
  • The role of the CMO is changing. Those can’t adapt are being cast aside.
  • Data suggests that longer-form content is just fine with some people.
  • Are we missing some steps when planning communication campaigns?
  • A study finds that consumers like it when brands break gender stereotypes
  • In his Tech Report, Dan York reports on Facebook’s clarification about their “Explore” test (which Dan covered in FIR #110), Facebook’s new News Feed Publisher Guidelines, the addition of screen sharing to Facebook Live, Instagram opening its live video “Add a Friend” to everyone, and Vimeo/Livestream’s acquisition of Mevo and the introduction of the new Mevo Plus camera for live streaming.
