Mobile is a prime place to reach the elusive “gen-zennial” market. A recent eMarketer report found the lion’s share of 16–24-year-olds(74%) cited their mobile device as the primary gaming device. Among high income gamers, rewarded advertising is the way to go. Another eMarketer report surveying gamers that earned $75,000 or more annually found that nearly-three-fourths of the group prefer opt-in rewarded ads above other formats. According to a survey by app-monetization platform Fyber, 28% of agency professionals reported that playable ads were the most “effective” in-app format, followed closely by interactive ads at 23%. Native ads were the preferred format for 4% of the group.…

Today I work in two industries—tech and advertising—that care deeply about diversity, but where old habits have held back progress. We have made progress but, like many in the industry, the journey is ongoing. For instance, sitting in creative reviews over the last year, there was more diversity in our casting. We have been auditing our work using machine learning and manual reviews for some time. Screen time for women is up to 48% this year. The age of people featured is two years closer to the national average of 38. And 23% of consumers in U.S. ads are black. But I wasn’t seeing the full picture. It turns out we were mostly casting people with lighter complexions and a disproportionate number of interracial couples. And even when we were…

MASTER SKILLS TO AVOID BEING BAMBOOZLED I wonder how many of us realize just how many trades we need to master and how many of those skills we have to acquire in order to be quite hands-on in lots of different areas. You have to understand research and data. You have to be a media expert. You really need to understand PR. You really need to understand the psychology of your target. There are so many different skills you need, and there are so many specialists out there who are quite often trying to bamboozle you. So how do you pull all of this together to ensure that you are super smart? TAKE THE DRIVER’S SEAT You have to recognize that you are constantly a work in progress, and constant…

After WWII ended, companies that had built radar sets for the United States military began looking for civilian uses for the cavity magnetron, the high-power vacuum tubes that generated microwaves. One of them was Raytheon, where physicist Percy Spencer was among the staff scientists who’d noticed that microwaves were useful for rapidly heating food. After securing patents for the “Radarange” oven, Raytheon went public with its remarkable capabilities, such as this 1946 demonstration of how a hamburger took a mere 15 seconds to cook. But first-generation microwaves were huge, heavy, expensive and suited only to institutional kitchens. It wasn’t until the late 1960s that brands like Amana and Tappan put the appliance in reach of ordinary consumers. Today, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 90% of American homes have…

1988, tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds hit on an idea to regain market share for its struggling Camel brand—a camel. His name was Joe and he was a cartoon. He was also among the most successful, controversial and ultimately derisive campaigns in advertising history. Modified from a character that Reynolds had first used in France in 1974, Joe Camel starred in McCann-Erickson-created ads that showed the anthropomorphic dromedary shooting pool, driving convertibles and getting the ladies. Reynolds was thrilled. So, it must be said, was Adweek, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. “Camel’s cartoon mascot is threatening to replace [Budweiser’s] Spuds MacKenzie as consumers’ favorite commercial animal,” we gushed. And he surely was—but the FTC and the AMA countered that the only thing Joe was doing was getting kids…

American distillers are known for protecting secret recipes and ingredients, but few guardians match the commitment of one Jimmy Russell. The Wild Turkey distillery in Lawrenceburg, Ky., where Russell has overseen the stills for 65 years, has used the same yeast strain since the 1950s. At some point, the thought occurred to Russell that were the place to suffer a fire, that yeast might be lost. Why not just choose some other yeast? Unthinkable, son. Russell, then, did the only logical thing: He poured some of the yeast into a bottle, took it home, and put it in his refrigerator. “Wild Turkey has had quite a few owners throughout the years,” explained Melanie Batchelor, vp of Campari, Wild Turkey’s parent company. “But Jimmy’s always been the consistent steward of the…

The question of how data, and not necessarily user identity, is at the core of how the ad-tech ecosystem can continue to enjoy the upward swing it has seen over the course of the last 10 years. In Article 28(3) of GDPR, recommendations for contract provision between those companies handling what is deemed as sensitive consumer data are legislated for. Per the terms of the act, contracts between data controllers (typically these are first parties, such as a brand or publisher) and processors (oftentimes ad-tech companies) should agree on certain principles: The subject matter, duration, nature and purpose of the data processing; the type of personal data being processed; the categories of data subjects whose personal data is being processed; the obligations and rights of the controller.…

Tell us about your role as WWE’s chief brand officer. I am responsible for WWE’s brand, community relations and pop culture strategy, which includes celebrity integrations and partnerships within the entertainment industry. I am also the company’s global brand ambassador and a part-time character on WWE programming.

I worked my way up in the company, starting as a switchboard operator in high school, and interning throughout WWE doing everything from editing highlight reels to Xeroxing and hand-delivering our company newsletter (which tells you how old I am). I was originally…

‘Everywhere you look online, it’s ads, ads, ads. You can only process so many of them before they become irrelevant.’ Ana Milicevic will tell you that ad tech runs in her blood. Born in Serbia to a television-director mother and an engineer father, she found early on that she felt most at home at the middle ground of both the glamorous world of media and the hardwired world of technology. That passion led her to start a software company in her dorm room, snatch a position at the UN and take roles at a handful of global leaders in the ad-tech space. “I get a little antsy when I’m in one place for too long,” she confessed, adding that those moves have ultimately made her a better marketer. “I’m comfortable…
