Facebook/Cambridge Analytica And The Importance Of Truth In Advertising. The Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal was a betrayal of trust, and the advertising industry must send a unified message that the analytic firm’s behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated, writes UM Worldwide’s Joshua Lowcock. “The lesson that can be learned for all of us is that data, like all things that can empower so much good, can be weaponized for bad,” he writes.

Remember, social media marketing isn’t always the tech. It’s the people.
Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.

OFFICIALLY THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS ‘LOYALTY’. AFTER 54 YEARS, INDY SWITCHES FROM ABC TO NBC FOR THE ‘500’.
The Indianapolis 500, one of the best-known races in motorsports, will appear on NBC in 2019, as part of the switch, marking the first time since 1965 that the race will not be broadcast on the Walt Disney-owned network. Per Variety in an article written by Brian Steinberg, Under terms of the three-year deal, NBC Sports will own the rights to present all IndyCar races, qualifying, practices, and Indy Lights races across its platforms beginning in 2019. The Indianapolis 500 and seven additional Verizon IndyCar Series races will be broadcast annually on NBC, with all remaining races televised on cable network NBCSN. NBC Sports said all races will be live streamed to authenticated subscribers on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app. A package of races – all qualifying races and practices not televised live, IndyLights races and full-event replays – will be made available on NBC Sports Gold, NBC Sports’ direct-to-consumer product.
