The boys cover the ongoing Spotify/Joe Rogan saga, while Robert's new book title should be "Epic Marketing Rant." The continuing soap opera at Spotify calls into question the editorial control needs of a platform. And yes, platform also means media company. Buzzfeed outs the BAYC founders. Was this the right thing to do? And, really? Buzzfeed? More than 50 percent of all ad spending in 2022 will go to three companies. Joe thinks we need to start supporting small, niche content creators. And we have three company examples experimenting with the Metaverse. Well, not really. In rants and raves, Joe comments about the ability to create IP and NOT own an NFT, while Robert delivers an epic rant around marketing measurement. --------- Liked this show?

Neil Young gives the finger to Spotify, while influencers and content creators fight for naming rights. In today's episode, Neil Young takes a stand against Joe Rogan and Spotify. Will it work and does it matter? And...right-wing commentator Joe Bongino gets booted from YouTube. Do they have the right, and what's the long-term play? We discuss the meaning of influencers versus creators as McDonald's goes influencer, Trump Social goes searching, and Forbes gets into the creator economy. And finally, Tom Brady launches his new crypto NFT project. Yes, we are going back to the year 2000.

In this week's news, Microsoft buys Activision for $69 billion (are you kidding me?). Is this important and why should creators/marketers care? There is a new bill on the hill about data and advertising. The only thing we know for sure is that first-party data is more important than ever. Get those emails ready to go! Google/YouTube drops YouTube Originals. Can Google commit to anything? Was this a sound decision? Joe raves about a Web3 chart and reviews the online battle for Web3 between Prof G and Packy McCormick. Of course, both Joe and Robert have a take. Robert then raves about Edelman's new trust report. --------- Liked this show? SUBSCRIBE to this podcast on Spotify, Apple, Google and more.

The Information says media valuations are down except for paid subscription models. True? Well, not really. LinkedIn is going all newsroom. Will this finally be the move that vaults LinkedIn to B2B media king? Will their social audio feature help? Oh...and Jake Paul launches a sports drink while a reality star sells her farts as NFTs (you can't make this stuff up).

A small investment group tries to pry Forbes away from a SPAC, while Buzzfeed's stock drops by 50 percent inside its shiny new SPAC. What does this mean for media and content creators moving forward? In the UK, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) says the Arsenal Football Club violated advertising rules with the launch of its $AFC token. (also, here's a great podcast overview from the BBC on tokens in the UK.) Rants and raves include Joe's take on TikTok becoming the #1 web property on the planet, while Robert gives us this wonderful holiday poem.   Twas the Night Before Break by Robert Rose   ’Twas the night before break, #TheStruggleWasReal, No marketer rested easy, discontent did they feel.   Budgets and plans hung by email attachments, In the hopes that VPs would approve their advancement.   Managers all sighed and climbed into their beds, While visions of new podcasts danced in their heads.   She in Lululemon and I in Cowboys gear  Had settled in for cocktails after a long, chaotic year   When online in my feeds, there arose such a clatter. I sprang open my Chrome to see what was the matter.   Away to my tabs, I clicked on them post haste, Tore open Google News to see just what we faced.   The headlines were filled with so much interruption – A luster of clickbait o’er this holiday disruption.   When what to my marketer’s eyes should appear? Nothing but omicron, crypto, stock crashes, and fear.     Suddenly a noise came so lively and quick, The voice I recognized could be only St. Nick!   With a whistle and a shout, he parked on my roof – His self-driving Tesla couldn’t distinguish the route.      As fast as Quibi proceeded to fail, St. Nick jumped to his MacBook and opened email.   “Now budgets! Now plans! Now audits! Now tech!      On process! On content! On calendars in check!”    He flew ’cross the keyboard, dramatically smashed Send, Gave us all our approvals, extending our content spend.     He spoke not a word but held his hand to his ear Listening for mail notifications across the world to appear.   Then laying his finger aside of his nose He winked and said, “Tell it well, Robert Rose.”   St. Nick sprang to his Tesla, gave me a quick wave, Then turned and confided, “Some plans even Ryan Reynolds can’t save.   “But for all the content marketing folk and for you, I wish you good times in 2022.”   And then he flew off, with less noise than in Clubhouse Waving off all the fear, the uncertainty, the doubts.   Then I heard him exclaim as he shifted into “gear,”  “Happy Holidays to all and a Happy New Year!” --------- Liked this show?
