How fake ads on social media and TV could help shape the future of cross channel media strategies and measurement
Australia is about to embark on a world first cross media measurement experiment that owes at least some of its DNA to fake ads created by Disney and run across its TV network and on social media.

Capgemini eyes Accenture Interactive, Deloitte Digital and agency turf with Australia’s $93m RXP takeover

Brands and media agencies, don’t miss this podcast if you plan on staying with global developments in the emerging attention economy and what impact it’s having on traditional audience and reach metrics
Marketers and agencies are missing huge opportunities by only superficially measuring attention. But that’s about to change. A new platform and metric, attentionTRACE, is about to go live. AttentionTRACE measures attention across channels, but Story54’s Jane Waterhouse argues even before the trial data is out, one medium in particular lands messages more deeply, at least in women’s minds, than any other. Amplified Intelligence CEO, Professor Karen Nelson-Field, and UK Neuro Science CEO, Shazia Ginai explain the science. Pay attention - you’ll need to know this stuff.

Australian Joshua Lowcock is Chief Digital and Innovation Officer at UM in the US and UM’s global Brand Safety Officer. Based in New York, he’s spearheaded development of a Media Responsibility Audit of social media platforms alongside initiatives to try to make businesses see the billions they spend on advertising within the same frame as corporate social responsibility – and says it’s gaining traction “faster than even I imagined”. Now regulators need to quickly deal with data monopolies without getting distracted by sideshows. If they don't, Lowcock fears we may all soon be working for the tech platforms - because nobody else can compete.

Ex-Woolworths, Myer, Quantium customer loyalty boss takes on Ehrenberg-Bass and explains why loyalty schemes need a reboot
Even the discount-averse Apple uses Bernard Wilson’s company to move product. The one-time investment banker - who was part of a consortium which made a failed hostile bid for Qantas - lead Woolworths’ first attempt at a loyalty program, which also didn’t work. The second version did. After stints at Myer and Quantium, the new CEO of cash-back trailblazer, Cashrewards, says as brands and companies chase the Covid-fuelled e-commerce surge, loyalty programs need a rebrand and retailers and marketers need a rethink on loyalty. Cashrewards customer base is up 40% this year and he’s about to go hard on building the brand, more customers and an IPO.

Content marketing overkill? Coles, IAG, Storyation on the COVID-induced surge in brands doing content and standing out through more noise
Bigger budgets are pouring into content marketing this year but IAG’s Director of Content & Customer Engagement, Zara Curtis, says there’s “a lot of bad content” being produced by brands. IAG is producing less but better quality. Curtis says she’s a “content killer” as IAG works out the art of what not to produce. Meanwhile, Coles’ Senior Content Manager Jill Tenner is doing much more in the past six months because of customer demand for inspiration. The key takeout, says Storyation’s Head of Content, Lauren Quaitance, is brands have been scrambling over the past five months to overhaul or develop new content marketing plans.

French-owned Havas Media last week acquired Australian independent agency HYLAND with plans to plug into its vast parent company Vivendi, controlled by the French billionaire industrialist, Vincent Bollore. Vivendi owns music labels, Hollywood studios, TV networks and gaming and ticketing companies and is moving Havas to a very different position versus its bigger global marketing services rivals like WPP, Omnicom, IPG, Dentsu and Publicis. More culture, not just tech is the idea. Havas Media’s Australian team talk the HYLAND acquisition, Vivendi and a pick-up in media spending now underway for the December quarter.

Nestle's head of eStrategy, Marketing and Brand, Martin Brown, says 50% of advertiser digital budgets going to working media is "not good enough" - 70% should be the baseline. With the competition regulator digging into the digital ad supply chain and PwC finding half of digital ad dollars are eaten up before they get to publishers, marketers must get a grip on where they are spending their money. Nestlé‘s Brown - also chair of the AANA - OMD‘s Aimee Buchanan, IAB chair and Pedestrian Group‘s Matt Rowley and Guardian Australia boss Dan Stinton debate transparency, remuneration, brand safety and suggest cutting out programmatic middlemen could be key.

CEOs at world’s leading Out Of Home companies say the turnaround has started despite volatility; why WFH's a bubble and programmatic OOH to surge
They’ve arguably been the hardest hit media companies through COVID-19 but the bosses of some of the world’s leading OOH companies - with iconic sites like NY’s Times Square, London’s Piccadilly Circus and Sydney’s Glebe Island Silos in their portfolios - come out swinging on this Mi3 podcast. Existential threats from COVID-19 and changes to public mobility and WFH are overcooked, they claim. And they’ve learnt the lessons from publishing - programmatic trading is set to surge but not through intermediaries and open exchanges like Google's. They’re not so united, however, on industry-wide trading platforms to tackle Big Tech. Sound familiar? This one’s a cracker.

Data governance alert: Apple's September bombshell will hit ad market, user tracking - Adore Beauty joins a panel of adtech, martech and 'demand-gen' industry experts
A more privacy-aggressive Apple is again pressuring its big tech peers like Google and Facebook to play cleaner on gaining “informed consent” from users to be tracked. A September iOS mobile operating system update from Apple will bluntly force more disclosure on how users and their behaviour data is matched and traded across the open web, apps and minute-by-minute geo-location journeys and patterns - anything from work commutes and exercise routines to retail precincts. Industry insiders say Google will have to follow Apple to maintain regulatory optics, like it’s been forced to by Apple’s Safari browser in the pending 2022 Google Chrome “cookie apocalypse”. Complex consent and transparency headaches for brands and marketers are weeks away.

In this conversation, O’Halloran admits it’s a signal for the DDB world that he will shake things up. John Wren, the boss of DDB’s giant NY-listed parent company Omnicom, says if O’Halloran can replicate the performance of the Australian and New Zealand group internationally, they’re going to “have a great time together”. Here’s what the low-profile O'Halloran says he’s going to do.

Vodafone’s former global media chief on lessons in-housing media, transparency and why programmatic is ‘ripe for regulation'
Paul Evans was one of the driving forces of Vodafone’s global in-housing of search, social and digital media but he’s still not sure the ad industry at large has solved John Wanamaker’s famed conundrum that half his advertising was wasted but he didn’t know which half. Evans was also involved in the early scoping of PwC's recent forensic dive in the UK into the programmatic supply chain - which couldn't find where a third of cost is ending up. Given the billions advertisers are spending programmatically, he thinks regulation beckons. And while in-housing programmatic is “hard work”, Evans believes Vodafone and others that have committed for the long term will only gain... and won't be U-turning any time soon.

It will also upend the market’s current and outdated preoccupation with Nielsen audience rankings, say PCA heavies Kim Portrate, Chris Janz (Nine) and Gereurd Roberts (Seven West Media).

But he “absolutely won’t” be replicating WPP’s centralised production model in Australia and New Zealand for lower-cost, high velocity work. “We won’t be doing it that way,” he says.

Three international TV analysts talk to Mi3’s Paul McIntyre about fear, fury and fatigue - and an avalanche of ad-funded streaming services (AVOD) in the next five years. The “ads are dead” crowd may have to temper their joy - consumers are piling into hybrid ad-subscription streaming services where they pay less for taking ads. And they are.

It’s weird: ‘Bleak’, dystopian under 30s are flocking to the movies for escape and rare big culture moments
Wtf? The number of 14-24 year-olds heading to the box office was up 20% in Australia last year. Under 30s were up 7%. Why? Social researcher Matt Sandwell and Val Morgan’s managing director Guy Burbidge say the vast underbelly of society is feeling bleak - young and old. Fantasy, escape and a desire for disappearing “big cultural moments” are on the rise and this year’s line-up from Hollywood and beyond will fuel the desire for mass cultural connections. On the upside, “cultural imprinting” is exactly what brands want too.
