Note: This episode continues our experiment with a streamlined format: two guest co-hosts instead of three panelists and fewer stories. We were able to shave even more time off the show this week and will aim for further slimming next week. Please let us know how you like the format — and the length — by sending an email to fircomments@gmail.com. 

Shonali Burke and Angus Nelson join Shel Holtz for this week’s episode, which covered these stories…

  • A report from TopRank Marketing, Traackr, and Brian Solis presents some influencer marketing data and recommends evolving the practice for one-shot, quick-hit marketing efforts to longer-term influencer relationship building.
  • One story Angus shared predicts the future of work will be all about freelancers and companies tapping into vastly distributed talent pools. Another opines that Human Resources will be pivotal in the future to ensure companies take advantage of the uniquely human elements of their employees. Are these ideas mutually exclusive?
  • Dan York reports on a new report out of the Pew Internet Center about algorithms.
  • The primary benefit of Artifical Intelligence is to make predictions — something that has been expensive — abundant and cheap. The value of people is in exercising judgment. This will represent a massive shift in the nature of work that people do. Are organizations taking adequate steps to prepare employees and other stakeholders for this change?
  • Ryan Holiday created the roadmap for effective unethical marketing practices. Now he’s worried that the alt-right has adopted his playbook. CEOs who are quick to condemn laws and policies may be playing right into their hands.
