Jennifer Zingsheim Phillips and Lynette Young joined host Shel Holtz for this week’s FIR podcast to talk about…

  • When to send your Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotional emails if you want customers to actually open them
  • Can Google and Twitter (or media outlets) introduce provenance to facts in order to help readers know when what they are reading is true?
  • The growing importance of “brand safety” to chief marketing officers
  • Honda is using Facebook ad targeting for something other than selling cars. Could it open the door to other non-commercial uses of targeted advertising by brands?
  • New digital ad formats — including VR, AR, 360-degree video, and interactive content — are starting to deliver real results.
  • In his tech report, the Internet Society’s Dan York talks about new data breaches, the latest update to the Gutenberg editor (which will be part of WordPress 5.0), another Facebook appropriation of a SnapChat feature (this time it’s streaks), and the FCC’s plan to repeal Obama-era net neutrality rules.

Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.
