We recorded on Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I used a pirate name generator to give each of our panelists a pirate name. Today’s panel features Owner Media Group CEO Chris Brogan (Samson “Commodore Chops” Drinkwater, “The Drunkard of Ghost Lake!”), MarketingProfs Chief Content Officer Ann Handley (Mary “Jolly Brute” Quick, “The Plunderer of Crocodile Islet!”), and Scott Monty (Edwin “Soft Heart” Penwith, “The Jewel of Alligator Bight!”) of Scott Monty Strategies. Our topics included…

  • Twitter — lots and lots of Twitter. The first broadcast of the NFL’s Thursday Night Football on Twitter, a deal with Cheddar to broadcast a live close-of-market video wrap-up, the introduction of Twitter apps for viewing live video on TV screens (no Roku app, sadly), the roll-out of new features (including ways to cram more into your 140 characters) and some features to make your customer service effort more prominent, and the Economist’s view that Twitter’s window for becoming a major player in social media has closed.
  • The shift from big-name celebrity influencers to niche influencers, as characterized by the number of Muslim women sought by influencers to reach Generation M, young, affluent Muslim Millennials.
  • YouTube’s accommodation of advertisers who don’t want their adds attached to videos their customers might find offensive and how it has alienated a lot of YouTube creators. We also discussed the launch of “Community,” which lets YouTube creators engage in real time with their subscribers.
  • MarketingProfs published a story reporting on research about the kinds of subject lines journalists like to see in email pitches from PR people.
  • Ikea has joined the small group of advertisers that touch on unpleasant topics (divorce, in this case).
  • Organic reach may be dead on Facebook, but 97% of the top brands still rely on it.
  • Instagram has introduced comment filtering.
  • Instagram was also the most engaged-with social channel when it came to back-to-school. (And the brands that got the most engagement weren’t the ones that posted the most.)
