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.

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.
