Pnr: This Old Marketing | Content Marketing With Joe Pulizzi And Robert Rose

In this post-Content Marketing World episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss how content is moving to the middle, and investments in content marketing technology top the $1 billion mark.  Just 17% can follow the buyer's journey and GroupM announce a deal with Buzzfeed that may or may not be big news.  On the paper front, Uber announces a new "in car" magazine, which is printed...on real paper.  Rants and raves include Beth Comstock of GE and John Cleese.  This week's TOM example: The Story of Content: Rise of the New Marketing.

In this pre-Content Marketing World podcast number 95, Joe and Robert talk about Newscred's $42 million dollar round and what it means for the content marketing industry.  Google pushes hard on native ads inside Gmail, and what's wrong with content calendars (hint: you'll find out)?  Rumors swirl around Apple launching original programming, and a CMO survey says content development tops the budget charts for 2016.  Rants and raves include an "ode to Joe" and a publishing crisis.  This week's TOM example: Weight Watchers.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss an article about social media marketing being dead.  Well, is it dead, or are most brands just using it wrong (the latter)?  Podcasting is bigger and better than ever, and native advertising is NOT content marketing (let's say that together, shall we?).  Rants and raves include experiences and a clear lack of strategy.  This week's TOM example of the week: White Castle.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the big $48 million dollar purchase of content agency King Content, followed by a discussion around more M&A to come in 2016.  Oracle buys Maxymiser for further proof.  The boys then discuss, in detail, the F&W model that all brands can learn from, and, Facebook now draws more news traffic than Google (or do they?).  Raves include the New York Times email newsletters and the opportunity for local publishers.  This week's TOM example of the week: Sherwin Williams.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert talk briefly about Google, or should we say, Alphabet, before moving on to a critical issue for publishers: Online Display Advertising and its demise.  Then, the boys discuss the hi-jacking of the term "content marketing" and are journalists really content marketers after all.  More content marketing research as well. Raves include Target and Nike's video program.  TOM Example of the Week: Aldus Pagemaker.

In this episode of PNR's #ThisOldMarketing, Robert and Joe discuss the future of content, and why so many brands and agencies are looking more at advertising opportunities than owning their own platforms.  Facebook launches a new live video program for celebrities (at least for now) and the Uber of Agencies is coming to a town near you.  Rants and raves include a MillerCoors video series and how some people get content marketing all wrong.  This week's TOM example of the week: Arch Shaw.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the craziness around the Hubspot scandal (and why these things seem to happen in Boston ;). Then the boys go in-depth into a series of articles about the media landscape.  Will media companies just turn into wire service companies?  Who really owns the audience?  Where is this all going?  After a short chat about podcasting, rants include Cecil the Lion and YouTube.  This week's TOM example of the week: American Bee Journal.

In this episode number 89, Joe and Robert discuss LinkedIn and Google news this week.  LinkedIn limits your right to download contacts and, alas, Google+ is no more (we think). In other news, AOL releases some new content marketing research that may not be about content marketing and we find out that the inbound marketing economy really has nothing to do with inbound marketing.  Rants and raves include a McKinsey report and deals from Univision and HBO.  This week's #ThisOldMarketing example of the week: Flight Centre.

In this episode number 88 of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss how more and more how-to videos are being pumped into YouTube, and what marketers need to do about it.  Then the boys chat about major research surrounding trust and culture, both of which need sound content marketing strategies. To cap it all off, our trusty podcasters outline what the top 200 advertisers spent last year, and how content marketing is still such a small thing when it comes to paid media.  Raves include Mark Zuckerberg and Comic-con.  This week's TOM example of the week: Disney. This week's articles include: Demand For How-To Content on YouTube Is On The Rose http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/demand-for-how-to-content-on-youtube-is-on-the-rise/620553   Consumer Trust Crisis: Companies Excelling in Candor Substantially Outperform the Market https://www.bulldogreporter.com/dailydog/article/pr-biz-update/consumer-trust-crisis-companies-excelling-in-candor-substantially-out With the Rittenhouse study paired http://www.rittenhou

In this episode number 87, Joe and Robert discuss the new Upworthy business model in detail, and what businesses and marketers can learn from it.  In addition, the boys discuss what, when and why marketers should outsource content marketing, and follow that with a disturbing article about branded content and advertising.  Rants and raves include an HBR article that truly bothered Robert, and an amazing story around the autism education movement from Joe.  This week's TOM example of the week: Kraft Music Hall.

In this venerable episode number 86, Joe and Robert discuss why CNN is seeing backlash for their native advertising launch.  After that, the boys explain why print is really the future of digital (stop laughing). In addition, the New York Times sees amazing results leveraging Facebook for their subscription funnel, and Manifest is the latest content marketing agency merger/launch.  Rants and raves include the box office and customer service.  This week's #ThisOldMarketing example: Disney and merchandising.

In this episode number 84 of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss two major association initiatives - one in Germany and one in Asia - around content marketing.  Both associations have also taken the name "content marketing", which Joe thinks is a pretty big deal.  In addition, Article Bunny launches and the boys talk about new research around the practice of native advertising. And finally, Facebook changes its algorithm again...this time around TTR or total time reading. Rants and raves include a bit of politics and a lession from media business models.  This week's TOM: Game Theory.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert inadvertantly themed this rendition the "Content Inc." episode.  After Joe discusses the new platform launch, the boys dig into Mary Meeker's annual trends report.  Guess what?  Your buyers are now millennials.  And there are quite a few opportunities just right for you (yes, you!). After a little discussion of how startups can use content marketing, Robert lays out Google's new "Phantom" update, and why content marketing and native advertising are joined but separate.  Raves include Austin City Limits and Travelers Insurance.  This week's TOM example of the week: Band-Aid.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the latest purchase for Content Marketing Institute, the UK-based show, Content Marketing Show. Verizon's purchase of AOL leads to discussion around what value there is in AOL's many content brands and Spotify decides to add both videos and podcasts.  Then the boys rant away at two particular articles that elaborate on the problems content marketers face - leading to the idea that brands have real opportunities when publishers cut back too much.  Official rant and raves include a Purina platform called Puppyhood.  This week's TOM example of the week: Fresh Fork Market.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss two large transactions in the content marketing technology space: Percolate and Kapost.  Then the boys move right along to the official launch of Facebook News.  Is this the end of times for publishers or the stairway to heaven?  After discussing whether brands could really create a "Mad Men" type show, Joe and Robert rant and rave about Adobe's new audio white papers, as well as a huge media purchase in the surfing industry. This week's TOM example: Poor Richard's Almanack.

This episode also includes a short take on Google's launch into content discovery. Rants and raves include a draft pick from USC and Dove's "Real Beauty". This week's TOM example: NFL Films.
