Christopher Barger (Brain+Trust Partners), Gini Dietrich (Arment Dietrich Inc.), and Doug Haslam (Stone Temple Consulting) were on the FIR panel for some conversation about the following topics…

  • A study found a correlation between increased investment in CSR activities and profitability.
  • Ratings for National Football League broadcasts are way down and a lot of reasons are being cited. A lot of them come down to the NFL’s culture and values.
  • Sexism is alive and well — even at the PRSA conference.
  • PR agencies aren’t training their staffs to deliver the kind of digital services their clients want.
  • Dan York reports on the feud between Twitter and Facebook over live streaming enhancements.
  • Twitter is discontinuing Vine, and Vine producers aren’t happy. (Neither is one of Vine’s founders.)
  • A study finds CMOs believe Artificial Intelligence will be bigger than social media.
  • Apple has dropped a lot of ports customers are accustomed to on its latest MacBook Pro.
