For this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss John Oliver's take on the broken business model of newspapers.  The boys believe that in the near future, you'll see brands actually owning these media properties.  In other news, Gartner's new "Hype" cycle is out for marketing and Google+ closes on-air hangouts.  Rants and raves include what's wrong with the buyer persona.  This week's TOM example: Ernst & Young.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the latest TechCrunch article that claims content marketing isn't actually strategic.  Accenture looks to become one of the leading content marketing providers in the world, and Facebook blocks the ad blockers with more of the same from Facebook.  Rants and raves include Blab shutting down and personalized content.  This week's TOM example: WE Energies.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss two new social media platform launches.  Instagram launches Instagram Stories and LinkedIn launches influencer video.  Content strategy is still in a fight with content marketing, and publishers are still dependent on Facebook.  Rants and raves include the 130-hour work week and sponsored content.  This week's TOM example: The Olympics.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss Cisco Systems adding 200 content-related roles to the organization.  B-to-C brands are focusing on "micro-moments" and too many brands think they are doing content marketing when they really aren't doing content marketing.  Rants and raves include Coca-Cola and a huge social media mistake from the US Olympic Committee.  This week's TOM Example: Nationwide Insurance.

In this week's episode, we cover two major acquisitions that are content marketing related: Yahoo! by Verizon and Dollar Shave Club by Unilever. Medium launches a content marketplace that might be a category killer, and the New York Times content studio is now a full agency (who would have guessed?). Rants and raves include stopping and how publishers love for native advertising may mean that brands will inherit the web.  This week's TOM example: Houghton.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the fascination with Pokemon Go and what content marketers should be considering.  In the advertising world, content marketing still has quite a way to go, and Medium could actually be a fertile testing ground for small publishers and brands.  Rants and raves include great storytelling and the Trump/Pence logo.  This week's TOM example: I Dig Hardware from Allegion.  This week's story links: Episode Sponsor - Ahrefs.com.  Go to http://cmi.media/pnr139a for a special offer for PNR listeners.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, the boys discuss the likelihood of a 1984-type environment for the future of advertising. Content marketing outsourcing has been happening since forever, but Adweek identifies advertising agencies as a new source, and customer experience is a real drag at big brands.  Rants and raves include how stock trading and content marketing are actually pretty similar.  This week's TOM example: Maui Electric.
