Philippe Borremans and Jennifer Wah join host Shel Holtz for a conversation on these topics:

  • The Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC) is launching a campaign to eradicate Advertising Value Equivalencies (AVEs) from PR measurement once and for all. The UK’s Chartered Institute for Public Relations (CIPR) is joining in, giving members a year to transition or face the consequences.
  • Philippe summarizes the recent African PR Summit held in Casablanca earlier this month.
  • A study finds statistically that people respond to online marketing based on consumer stories.
  • Can professional associations play a role in guiding the ethical behavior of their members, particularly when the definition of what is ethical crosses national borders?
  • Fake news appeared in abundance following the Manchester terrorist attack, but none of it seemed to have a political agenda. When businesses are dragged into these stories, how should they respond?
  • Dan York reports on the new ability to add video to a Medium “Series” and Eli Pariser’s perspective on fake news.
