In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the latest quarterly results from WPP and how the slowing of advertising could mark something more than a cyclical blip. Add to that, Google begins to reimburse clients and agencies for ad fraud...but is it enough? The Washington Post adds artificial intelligence to native and Goop gets leveled by Truth in Advertising. Rants and raves include Australia (yes, the entire continent) and U-Haul Trucks. This week's TOM example - CTO Advisor.
