In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss two new social media platform launches. Instagram launches Instagram Stories and LinkedIn launches influencer video. Content strategy is still in a fight with content marketing, and publishers are still dependent on Facebook. Rants and raves include the 130-hour work week and sponsored content. This week's TOM example: The Olympics.
