Is the Advertising Industry on a Suicide Mission?

April 7, 2016

Somehow I missed that moment at the Association of National Advertisers forum when former MediaCom CEO Jon Mandel startled the ad industry by calling out his industry colleagues as self-serving rogues: “Media agencies aren’t living up to their fiduciary duties to clients and ‘cross the line of acceptable conduct in a partnership,’ Mr. Mandel said.

February 25, 2016

This post is the continuation of last week’s post, in which I decided if I was going to continue to coach entrepreneurs I would have to quit riding on the stories of my past businesses, the latest of which was started 18 years ago, the coaching business Stealthmode Partners, and start a business that embodies […]

Too Many Cooks in the Adtech Kitchen

September 25, 2015

 I’ve been a marketer for longer than I care to divulge. I’ve been active on behalf of one of my clients, ZEDO, in the IAB and the Online Trust Association for years.

My friends Vera Kozyr and Igor Mikhnenko of NotAnotherOne stopped in Half Moon Bay to see me on their way to Shenzhen, where they’re going to select a manufacturer for their latest product, the Atmotube.
