Defiant & Status Untraced Podcasts Premiere; 2024 IABC Upfronts Hosts Announced

In this article, we have a new politics podcast from a Brooklyn Dad. Then, a new true-crime podcast about a missing tech entrepreneur, and finally, the announcement of the hosts for the 2024 IAB Upfront in May where we'll hear about all the new podcasts coming our way. 

If you're old like me, you can compare the "Upfront" to receiving the September new season issue of the TV Guide magazine and making sure you were the first in your family to read it.

**************************************************

 Audio Up, a leading podcast production company, has just released a new series featuring a devout member of the Democratic Party who boasts 1.3 million X (Twitter) followers, Majid Padellan. He is apparently known as Brooklyn Dad Defiant. (Yo, you talkin' to me?) On this new show, Padellan will talk to the political types and try to make sense of anything Donald Trump says, while repudiating MAGA political propaganda. 

The podcast's producers note: "It is the place to come for those not only seeking answers, but the roadmap, engaging and educating listeners along the way."

 The show will air weekly and began April 15th with the first guest Frank Figliuzzi who is the former Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence for the FBI. The Defiant Podcast is out on all platforms now. Stream the first episode HERE. 

 ****************************************************

In 2016, survivalist and world traveler Justin Alexander went missing in the Parvati Valley while on a spiritual trek into the Himalayan Mountains.

While the circumstances of his disappearance point to murder, a chilling message he left behind throws everything into question: “I should return mid-September or so. If I’m not back by then, don’t look for me.”

Four years later, host and true-crime newcomer Liam Luxon is introduced to Justin's story and embarks on an investigation into the mysterious case.

Status-Untraced is a 10-episode journey that explores the secrets the Valley holds, the stones left unturned, and what really happened to Justin Alexander.

The show premiered on April 17, 2024, with the first two episodes. The following eight episodes will roll out weekly.

 *************************************************

The 2024 IAB Podcast Upfront is a must attend marketplace event that brings brands, agencies, and media buyers together with leading audio and podcast companies to explore podcasting’s ability to delight audiences and create superior marketing opportunities for advertisers.

 Essentially, the Upfront is an event where podcast companies introduce new shows. In the broadcast TV world, it was when celebrities and execs announced their new fall schedule. Of course, no one cares now. But since podcasting is such a decentralized world with numerous podcast networks, finding new shows for eager listeners is like a needle in a haystack that's inside another haystack, that's...you get the idea.

The dual foundation of the event is a preview of new show content and a spotlight on the power of podcast hosts to command the attention of listeners and influence them in ways that enable meaningful and authentic alignment for brand partners.

The 2024 IAB Upfront will be hosted by YAP Media's Jenn Kutcher of The Gold Digger podcast and Rachel Rodgers of the Hello Seven podcast.  Hala Taha, podcast host of the Young And Profiting podcast, is the Founder and CEO of YAP Media, an award-winning podcast production and social media agency for best-selling authors, top podcasters, influencers, and CEOs generating over $2M in revenue in its first year. YAP Media Podcast Network fuels the growth and monetization of network podcasts.

 The 2024 IAB Upfront happens on May 9th in New York City.

Breckenridge to Denver

About Breckenridge to Denver

How long has BRECKENRIDGE been expelled from Denver?

When the wheels hit Denver International Airport, there was only one thing that set you apart from the mountains: driving! The good news is that there are many routes ready to take you to Breckenridge, so you can pick up the rental car and travel on one of the airport minibusses. Prepare for 2 hours by car from the DIA in the mountains and about 1.5 hours if you are coming from Denver. Winter weather and skiing can delay your trip, so always remember to give yourself extra time.

Breckenridge Airport is scheduled

We provide airport transfers in Breckenridge every day of the year! In winter we return to IAB from 5 o'clock! If our schedule does not suit your needs, or you have a family or large group who want to travel individually, book one of our individual maps, which are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Breckenridge, the most popular ski resort in the United States, is 90 miles from Denver International Airport (DIA) and just 70 miles from Eagle-Vail Airport. Summit Express provides shuttle service to Denver International Airport each season.

MORE WORK AT CLOSING THE MARKER THROUGH THE DOOR FOR SERVICE AND SEE THE SMALL ROOM A LITTLE AND AROUND

Save time, money, and stress by booking a transfer from Breckenridge Airport. You do not need to worry about finding a rental car that fits all your equipment, driving in winter weather and traffic or parking here. Also, do not be afraid to watch epic scenes and meet your family and friends. Car services are well stocked with luggage and ski equipment and most provide door-to-door service. Choose your own boat for your crew or take a general trip to save a few bucks. Online pre-booking is always the best option, but if you need a last-minute trip, contact the airport shuttle service or call your local carrier to see if they have seats.

Excursion from Denver to Breckenridge

If you do not have time to stay in Breckenridge - perhaps a business trip to Denver and an extra day to study before the flight - then consider a tour. Breckenridge Mountain Explorer Day Trip is an eight-hour adventure that takes you back from Denver Union Station to Old Silver Mining Village and a few stops along the way. First, go to the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater and then stop for coffee in the mining town on your way to Breckenridge. Upon arrival, you have three hours of free time. In addition to year-round skiing, Breck also has a lively main road with shops, galleries, and restaurants. There is also the Breckenridge Art Area, where you can see the works of artists

By car from Denver to Breckenridge

From Denver, via I-70 and Hwy 9 to Breckenridge, it takes a beautiful hour to 45 minutes (depending on traffic and weather, it can be quite long). The path takes you to the Continental Branch, from the Rocky Mountains to Fringe Ridge, and is incredible at all times. If you are flying miles to the city by air or land, it is easy to rent a car at Denver International Airport or at various agencies downtown. From the airport, you will follow signs to the west of I-70 and stay on this road for more than an hour. Along the way, you cross the Eigen Power Tunnel. You can see the big difference in the air between the tunnel that crosses the continental divide. After the tunnel, you will go west on Route I-70, Route 203, and south with signs at 9:00 pm. It is 14 kilometers from the barracks. Most people, especially during the winter ski season, buy books in a nearby gastronomic town, not staying at the brewery if prices are high. This includes Fresco, Dylan, and Silverton, located near I-70 (before reaching Brinking on the highway). It is also possible to travel south from Denver on Highway 9 to Highway 285. At 109 miles, this journey takes about 30 minutes off Route I-70, but during the week, when I-70 is busy, you can save time on this route. When renting a car in the snow, it is important to understand that Colorado has strict driving laws in the winter. During heavy snowfalls, these rules require your vehicle to be equipped with special wheels, opting for road or AWD or, in some cases, both. If you try to drive in incompatible cars, you will be fined many fines (which is very dangerous!)

How to deploy DOOH during fast market shifts

30-second summary:

DOOH spend needs to be targeted to screens that will have the most robust chance for exposure, such as billboards, street-level pedestrian units, and those at gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies, and liquor stores.

Advertisers need to mix, match, and move messages among screens to reach consumers with the right messages, at the right time, in the right place to engage and re-engage people.

Forward-looking marketers attuned to news reports, social media, and other listening signals can use DOOH to add, remove, or change placements and creative messaging in as little as 24-72 hours, and adjust messaging on other screens to enhance the DOOH exposures.

With commuting and travel patterns changed, signs in train stations and airports might on the one hand have fewer customer exposures to offer but may also be in less-cluttered environments — and be had at discounted rates. Signs close to stores might have more impact than usual as socially distanced shoppers line up outside. Look for opportunities.

Consumers are adjusting to the current environment, and their behaviors and attitudes will continue to evolve. Throughout, they have continued to welcome advertising messages that help them and that strike the right tone. What marketers shouldn’t do is stay away.

With cities reopening throughout the U.S. and activity outside the home increasing, out-of-home advertising (OOH) is also picking up. Now, restaurants are serving meals, air travel is ticking up, hotels are booking more rooms, and people are walking and driving more, according to data compiled by The New York Times. Digital OOH (DOOH) can help marketers reach potential consumers, while integrating messaging across channels for maximum effect.

DOOH in the new normal

Because consumers’ behaviors vary widely by region, marketers using DOOH will want to keep adjusting, to match their messaging to what works.

For out-of-home advertising, digital screens used in tandem with other opportunities, with data harnessed and fast shifts to changing circumstances, will bear the most positive fruit.

Here, then, are tips to manage DOOH campaigns in the new and changing landscapes:

1) Move marketing to match activity

It’s glaringly obvious that ads work only if people have the chance to see them. DOOH spend needs to be targeted to screens that will have the most robust chance for exposure, such as billboards, street-level pedestrian units, and those at gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies, and liquor stores.

2) Watch geographies

Where marketers could once set a campaign and check in periodically, there’s a lot more variation by region now, and changes are more frequent.

Some beach communities are opening up, others are open but with restrictions. In outdoor venues like parking lots, performances are being held and movies shown to audiences in their cars. And it all keeps shifting.

3) Sync messaging to mobile screens

The IAB quotes research that shows OOH increases clickthroughs on mobile by 15%. Advertisers need to mix, match, and move messages among screens to reach consumers with the right messages, at the right time, in the right place to engage and re-engage people.

That also means targeting, measuring, and optimizing across channels to drive the best possible results

4) Pay attention to the news

Data is a digital marketer’s right hand but it’s available only after the fact.

Forward-looking marketers attuned to news reports, social media, and other listening signals can use DOOH to add, remove, or change placements and creative messaging in as little as 24-72 hours, and adjust messaging on other screens to enhance the DOOH exposures.

5) Watch the creative

Marketers can move ads onto or away from screens, or swap out creative to capitalize on news events, or to avoid potentially jarring juxtapositions.

And, as in more other epochs, DOOH that’s run through programmatic platforms allows for dynamic creative optimization to adjust creative elements automatically according to what the AI shows is working outdoors, and on other screens the consumer can see.

6) Communicate with your organization

Supply chains are still behaving differently than before the COVID crisis, and marketers need to move messages to where products are available. There’s little point in spurring demand to areas where the product can’t be purchased.

7) Look for shifting demos

Driving routes and the demographic profiles on those routes may change, too, as some consumers choose to avoid hotels and wealthier people leave their urban abodes for suburban homes. U.S. consumers are taking more trips by automobile, fewer by plane and train.

In New York, the most public-transit-friendly U.S. city, both car sales and bike traffic are rising much faster than normal.

All of that means that both traffic and movement patterns and the demographic profiles of who sees DOOH screens in those places are likely to shift, and keep shifting. Consumers can be reached at home, again as they move about, and again at home.

8) Think afresh about a screen’s surroundings

With commuting and travel patterns changed, signs in train stations and airports might on the one hand have fewer customer exposures to offer but may also be in less-cluttered environments — and be had at discounted rates.

Signs close to stores might have more impact than usual as socially distanced shoppers line up outside. Look for opportunities.

9) Know your categories

Some brands, such as travel and entertainment, have been way down in purchases and in messaging, for obvious reasons.

For marketers getting back into the market, it can be a fertile environment to not only show messages but also have them stand out. For brands in categories that are doing well, such as essential CPG goods, marketing reminds consumers of the brands they know — or new ones they should try.

10) Don’t forget the usual considerations

Consumer behavior still varies a lot according to weather and other factors, just as in normal times. Marketers will want to move messages and adjust creative to drive the greatest positive outcomes.

Prepping for the post-pandemic economy

The OOH market was valued last year at $8.1 billion globally, according to Marketwatch, and despite the disruptions it is expected to continue growing.

While a recession has officially been declared, there’s also been a surprising uptick in employment numbers. The economy will recover — the only question is when.

When it does, marketers who’ve gathered data and learnings will be that much better at effectively and efficiently deploying their marketing spend as more screens become available outside the home.

Consumers are adjusting to the current environment, and their behaviors and attitudes will continue to evolve. Throughout, they have continued to welcome advertising messages that help them and that strike the right tone. What marketers shouldn’t do is stay away.

As Mower Insight Group writes on ClickZ: “History shows it’s in a brand’s best interest to continue to advertise through an economic downturn.”

Doing it deftly will make that advertising even more effective and stand brands in good stead to succeed even more as economic conditions improve.

Eli’s updates 3/31

It's been a while since we connected. I wanted to begin copying previous contacts on my biweekly (or so) ad tech emails where I try and send out my (personal) thoughts regarding the adtech space and current events/LiveRamp product developments impacting. First and foremost we hope everyone is safe and secure at home during this time.

From a supply side POV, the oversimplified breakdown is content consumption is way up for everyone (Social, open web, streaming, search) as quarantined masses spend more hours filling the day with media. Unfortunately, much of the increased content consumption around COVID is not monetizable. Brands blacklist negative content (of which much of current news is, this is why search focused platforms like google and amazon should be less impacted although both still expect a big cut), or the applications people move to aren't ad based (think facebook messenger, Covid Graph visualizations, certain games etc.).The only loser from this angle is traditional TV. Coronavirus shut down live sports which was responsible for ~80% of tv consumption (link is an awesome video of a future of Tv presentation at our RampUp event this year. highly recommend). Expect chord cutting to accelerate during this time as 1. there is nothing on cable 2. Economic anxiety means penny pinching by households.

From the demand perspective, while massive industries like travel cut media spend because they are on the verge of insolvency/not operating flights/hotels, other industries such as CPG are seeing so much demand (ie: Toiletpaper) that they 1. don't need to advertise 2. couldn't handle the increase in demand if they got it. All told brands are reducing spend about 33% according to the IAB over the next two quarters (long term plans still up in the air).  Aggressive Brands slinging new work at home furniture, toys to keep kids busy, electronics for the home office, can find the right place and price to activate (cpms to drop significantly on lack of demand). On top of all this, you have the looming threat of economic recession which as 2008 taught us, means a reduction in all media, particularly non-attributable. 

How are LiveRamp clients handling this?

1. This is extremely business dependent. Not two months ago, we were 11 years into a bull market and our clients were full steam ahead in all channels. For some, this reverses that, for others, it will mean even more acceleration (think work place collaboration providers). 

2. Addressable channels are our most important focus. Even branding campaigns now need to be focused on target audiences and LiveRamp clients use our solutions to do that. LiveRamp has many integrations into the publishers that will capture a majority of the new ad spend during this time (ask me about Hulu, Roku, Youtube (client example in link), Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Amazon and others). 3. Many of our clients, who haven't previously used LiveRamp for measurement are getting ready to as their organizational leadership puts a larger focus on ROI from every dollar spent. For b2b customers in particular we have closed loop measurement programs for ABM where media can be served to a specific business, and attributed directly to that business at time of purchase.

Hopefully this time at home is giving you extra time to focus on family, friends, work or whatever it is you are passionate about! I am always happy to chat! Have a great weekend and stay safe, 

Eli

Traveling is often a great unknown when it comes to vaping, especially when it comes to airports and air travel. Finding an airport that allows electronic cigarettes indoors is quite a rarity(trust us, we’ve looked!), but following the local rules and regulations of an airport or airline while traveling will ensure that your travels go smoothly.

While national laws are in the works, the only hard-and-fast rules about traveling with electronic cigarettes for now are you cannot use them during a flight, and the TSA requires batteries to not be packed in checked baggage. Before heading out on your next flight, check out our resources below to familiarize yourself with the rules of each individual airport to learn if and where you can satisfy your nicotine cravings while waiting for a flight.
