How to get the media on board to end AVE

June 30, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

Fearless Girl

One of the hurdles along the road of seeing an end to the "advertising value equivalence" (AVE) measurement metric that's decried by many in the PR and measurement communities is persuading organisations to stop using it. The issue with AVE is well summarised in a white paper published by The Institute for Public Relations in 2003, in which this succinct text appears: We urge you to move away as quickly as possible from statements of the nature, “Our news coverage this quarter was worth $X … [Read more...] about How to get the media on board to end AVE

Why the gig economy fits well with the lives of Baby Boomers

June 26, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

We Baby Boomers are benefiting significantly from the gig economy, says author, speaker and optimist Tim Drake. Not just as consumers by it providing lower prices and more convenience, but as participants too. It’s an important bolt-on to something bigger, he says, enabling new ways of doing business to emerge, and a fresh outlook on what ‘work’ is.

In the latest episode 9 of The Small Data Forum podcast, hosted by Thomas Stoeckle in conversation with regulars Sam Knowles and me, we enjoyed a wide-ranging, lively conversation over the course of 45 minutes on topics as diverse as the 2017 general election campaign (what went wrong for Theresa May and the Conservatives with a clear focus on the politics) and the latest global communications report from the Annenberg School of Communications (we focused especially on PR and AVE).

For Immediate Release 92: Marketing failures of the UK’s Conservative Party

June 20, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

Labour won social media election - Guardian front page

We said we'd do one episode together of the For Immediate Release podcast as a 'limited return engagement,' emulating The Hobson and Holtz Report that Shel and I did for ten years. We did do that with episode 84 in April. We enjoyed it so much we decided to do another one, and so we recorded episode 92 yesterday. In keeping with our 'hefty but good' slogan, Shel and I enjoyed a conversation over an hour and forty minutes that covered a big agenda: There’s a new mobile-based social … [Read more...] about For Immediate Release 92: Marketing failures of the UK’s Conservative Party

June 16, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

Podcasts

There's been quite a sense of anticipation, if not excitement, among podcasters about Apple's announcement last week on some significant enhancements the company is making this autumn to its podcast app for iPhones and other iOS devices. The big change in the app is potentially a game-changer for podcasting as it will provide podcasters with basic analytics functionality to offer evidence of listening behaviours by subscribers (where they paused in a podcast, how much of it they listened to, … [Read more...] about Is podcasting about to get its tipping point?
