Francine Hardaway and Kami Huyse join Shel Holtz for this week’s episode, digging into these stories…

  • More and more brands are producing web video series. The latest to join the trend: Chipotle, Marriott Rewards, and Dove. Is there potential here for PR and corporate communications?
  • There has been no shortage of corporate crises to explore, including leggings on United Airlines, invasive seeds from Honey Nut Cheerios, and a fired employee from Cracker Barrell. Do any of these matter in the long run?
  • Advertisers are fleeing from YouTube due to fear of an ad appearing with an offensive video, causing anguish among content creators whose revenues are tanking. Google is trying to right the ship, but one company has already reduced the number of sites on which it advertises from 400,000 to 5,000 with no noticeable change to the performance metrics.
  • Millennials are driving B2B companies to become “socially investible.”
  • There’s data in GIFs.
  • Dan York reports on Facebook’s mobile apps adopting a Snapchat-like Stories feature.
