In this episode of This Old Marketing, Joe and Robert discuss how P&G is rewriting the rules for agencies and media placement. A slew of publishers are recreating the media business model, while recent Snapchat results could be a sign of Myspace to come. Rants and raves include sensibility and the real way that Twitter will be acquired. This week's TOM Example: General Electric.
