In this ThisOldMarketing episode, Adblock plus starts their own ad network (or do they?) and the boys discuss the future of advertising. AT&T looks to become a media company (of course) and some people think content marketing is hard to measure. Rants and raves include a lengthy talk about diversity in the event business. This week's TOM example: Walmart World.
