A little more than decade ago, Travis Page was hauling gear off a tour bus, criss-crossing the country with indie bands. One late night, sweat-soaked and exhausted, he noticed fans waiting in the rain simply to glimpse their favourite artist. Passion like that ought to power a business, he thought. That backstage epiphany still guides him as CFO of Crunchyroll, the world's largest anime platform.After the music industry's 2007 crash, Page hit reset—trading road cases for a Wharton MBA and, soon after, a seat at Barclays Capital. Covering entertainment firms during the Lehman-to-Barclays transition gave him, he laughs, “a five-year education in two.” The intensity paid seemed to pay off: at 30, he was head of finance at Remark Media, then a corporate-development deal maker at Demand Media.Sony Pictures Entertainment came calling next. Page helped stitch together seven anime acquisitions, culminating in Funimation's purchase and, later, the Crunchyroll merger. When Sony needed a strategic CFO to scale the nascent service, his boss put his name forward—before even asking him. He accepted on the spot.Today, Crunchyroll counts “over 15 million subscribers in 200 countries,” Page tells us, triple the total since the 2021 merger. His playbook pairs disciplined capital allocation with fan-first intuition: license or co-produce 99 percent of content in Japan, then “explode” each franchise across streaming, film, and consumer products. Finance's role? Embedded FP&A analysts sit in strategy off-sites, ensuring every creative gamble lands on a sound financial stage—just like those fans waiting in the rain taught him years ago.
Most everyone dreams of having a successful career that they enjoy and that provides them with the life they desire. But more often than not, many end up settling for less and living day by day unfulfilled. The good news is that having a successful career may be more in your control than you believe. According to Erika Ayers Badan, you're not perfect, work isn't perfect, but you can both be great. She discusses how to be effective in the workplace, love what you do, and get noticed. Erika is the CEO of Food52. She was the first CEO of Barstool Sports, one of the most influential sports, lifestyle, and entertainment media brands on the internet. Erika led the company from a regional blog with 12 employees to a national powerhouse with over 300 employees. She has been named one of Forbes' Most Powerful Women in the U.S. in Sports. Erika has held leading roles at Microsoft, AOL, Demand Media, and Yahoo, and has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, and top podcasts. She is the author of Nobody Cares About Your Career: Why Failure is Good, The Great Ones Play Hurt, and Other Hard Truths.

In this episode of "Exploring CTV and Retail Media Networks," hosts Dan Massimino and Evan Hovorka are joined by Sean Muller, the founder and CEO of iSpot. Join them as they discuss the rapid shift from linear TV to CTV and the rise of ad-supported models in CTV. They also explore the importance of standardization in the industry, integrating with partners, and all things AI. Sean has founded and served as a key executive in half a dozen ventures throughout his career, including Demand Media, MediaNet Digital, eNom and The Wedding Tracker, and brings a real wealth of experience to the show.

He also talks about the nontraditional TV networks in CTV, such as YouTube (50% of which is viewed on a TV screen) and Amazon (which has a TV network and owns Thursday Night Football)o. Sean then highlights the industry trend towards retail media networks. [23:29] Sean emphasizes the need for standardization in measuring video advertising across platforms, from “traditional linear TV”, to on-demand streaming services, to social media sites such as TikTok. He notes that historically TV ads were measured by overall viewership, rather than the actual reach (ie impressions). Sean's company, iSpot, has focused on creating a standardized metric for video impressions, meaning that each ad, regardless of platform, is measured equally. While the industry is moving towards this approach, Sean suggests that not every publisher or advertiser has agreed on a standard.[32:35] Sean discusses how iSpot handles integrating data from "walled gardens" (platforms with restricted data access) by using a sophisticated approach based on household and individual identity mapping. He explains that Ispot integrates with partners by starting with their ID spine, mapping out households and individuals across the United States. This approach allows for seamless integration with partners and simplifies the process for advertisers and vendors; it also allows advertisers to understand how their ads perform across different platforms, ensuring accurate deduplication and comparison.[34:48] Sean distinguishes between traditional AI (advanced machine learning) and generative AI, which involves generating different versions of ads or ad components, saying that there is a significant amount of “machine-learning AI that could be done to optimize the media”. He also mentions their investment in AI infrastructure and how they use their rich history of TV ads to generate ideas and speed up the creative process by creating storyboards or scripts. Sean emphasizes that AI won't necessarily be used to create an entire ad, but could speed up some of the more time-consuming or expensive aspects involved in their creation. Hosted on Acast.

I'm really excited to bring you today's conversation with Erika Ayers Badan, who you might know as the woman formerly known as Erika Nardini. (Erika got married, and that explains the name change.) Erika is perhaps most well-known as not just the first female CEO of Barstool Sports, but the first CEO of Barstool Sports, period. If you're not familiar with Barstool somehow, it's a sports and pop culture blog that also has podcasts and videos under its umbrella—it's not afraid to be controversial and shake the industry up, and I think maybe the best word to describe the company is chaotic. Intentionally chaotic. Erika was extremely successful at Barstool, which grew to more than 5 billion monthly video views and 225 million followers under her leadership and was valued at $550 million. During her time at Barstool, Erika referred to herself, very tongue-in-cheek, as a “token CEO,” not only the rare female employee but, again, the CEO of a very male-dominated culture. Not only has Erika experienced ample professional success—and I'll talk more about that in a moment—but she is someone who clearly just loves to work. She loves what she does. She is invigorated and energized by it, and I relate to that, because I am the same way. Erika's first book is out today, June 11, and is called Nobody Cares About Your Career: Why Failure Is Good, the Great Ones Play Hurt, and Other Hard Truths, and it is basically a career manual for women and men on how to get it done and have a career that means something. It's advice from someone who is firmly in the arena; it's real and raw, tell it to you straight—much like Erika herself. There's more advice in this book than I could ever give in this episode—it's page after page of it—and this book is all-encompassing; it really is a career guide I'll keep with me and return to and return to, again and again. It's a playbook for success by somebody who has found it. Erika was CEO at Barstool from 2016 until earlier this year, January to be exact; she led the company from 12 employees to over 300 employees, and saw it become a national powerhouse under her leadership. Prior to joining Barstool, Erika held leadership positions at Microsoft, AOL, Demand Media, and Yahoo, and is now, as of April of this year, CEO at Food52, a culinary, lifestyle, and homeware company. One of my favorite aspects of Erika's philosophy is her fail-always mindset—she embraces failure and doesn't run from it or shy away from it. As she writes, “Falling down and getting back up—awkwardly at first, but, over time, more gracefully—is what has made my career successful.” There's a ton of good nuggets here, and I can't wait for you to read this book and hear our conversation. Nobody Cares About Your Career: Why Failure Is Good, the Great Ones Play Hurt, and Other Hard Truths by Erika Ayers Badan

On the heels of our interview with author Jack El-Hai, who teaches physicians creative writing as an outlet, we have pediatrician, speaker and sci-fi writer Dr. Teresa Fuller. Dr. Fuller received both her M.D. and Ph.D. at Howard University and has been a practicing pediatrician in the Maryland area for more than 20 years. In addition to full-time pediatric practice, Dr. Fuller has been a contributing health writer for The Baltimore Times and Demand Media. She is the author of Change 1 Thing: A Doctor's Guide to Permanent Weight Loss, Disease Prevention and a Lifetime of Incredible Health. She also writes medical thrillers that teeter on the edge of science and science-fiction. She wrote her first novel, Time of Death: The Next Pandemic, way before this pandemic, so you'll hear the story of how she came up with the idea and shopped it around, had it rejected, and finally published. She recently released her second novel entitled The Marked: Extinction which is a young adult sci-fi thriller. We discussed her foray into writing, how she comes up with stories, develops characters, and manages to keep it a hobby, not another to do on your list.

Larry Fitzgibbon is the co-founder and CEO of Tastemade, a food, travel, & design-centered media brand that has racked up more than 300 million active viewers since its launch in 2012. However, Larry's path towards this famous company wasn't always so clear. Larry's journey began as a Communications major with a special passion for technology. Throughout college, he devoured cyberculture magazines such as Mondo 2000 and Wired, absorbed information about stocks and IPOs, and began to apply his tech knowledge to the professional world. Starting at Kinko's and Intertainer, he found that his ambitious visions for online streaming were still too advanced for the current stage of the internet. After facing a series of hurdles during a stint at Demand Media, Larry finally found his niche at Tastemade. Since then, Tastemade has opened studios around the world and their shows can be found on Apple TV, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Roku, Snapchat, and Facebook. https://www.tastemade.com/ Subscribe to our Newsletter! https://findingfounders.co/subscribe Website: findingfounders.co Follow Sam: https://www.instagram.com/samueldonner/ Follow Finding Founders IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingfounderspodcast/
In 2011, Google brought the hammer down on Demand Media. The search giant changed its search algorithm and sent Demand Media’s stock plummeting. The company had built web traffic by paying an army of independent writers — including Dead Cat co-host Tom Dotan — to write low-effort posts that ranked highly on Google search results. The kneecapping of Demand Media’s content farm was a precursor to the platform wars of the next decade. Facebook became famous for building up ecosystems — whether it was social games or video news content — only to pull the rug out from the companies trying to play to the algorithm.Tom and I take a trip down memory lane with former Demand Media CEO Shawn Colo. He gives us a clear-eyed portrait of the company’s business strategy at the time and what brought it back down to Earth. Demand Media, co-founded by former Myspace executive Richard Rosenblatt, was for a brief moment more valuable than the New York Times, which had a content play of its own in About.com. Demand Media offers a case study for the challenges of media businesses: if the content is cheaply made, then it doesn’t have staying power; if the content is costly to produce, then the business will have low profit margins. It’s also a potent reminder as to how the companies that were once essential identifiers of a current moment in business can disappear from our collective memory. Colo — today the founder of investment firm 3L — identified some private companies to watch in the media business today. For his part, he has mixed feelings about the sector these days. He’s an investor in warehouse delivery company GoPuff, which we talk about toward the end of the conversation, and telehealth company Ro.Colo reveals that 3L’s second fund, which he’s already investing out of, is going to end up totaling between $400 and $500 million. Colo advises us that “if you’re making money, guys, the best strategy is to make money quietly.”Give it a listen. Get full access to Newcomer at www.newcomer.co/subscribe

Over the past eight years, Leaf Group (formerly known as Demand Media until 2016) has transformed itself from a SEO-focused content farm to a commerce-driven media company that sold for $323 million to Graham Holdings last June. Much of that transition was done at the hands of CEO Sean Moriarty, who wanted to build a portfolio of expert-led content that readers turn to when making purchases. And now the media side of the business earns about two-thirds of its revenue from its commerce business, Moriarty said on the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast. Moriarty joined Leaf Group after the media company acquired online art marketplace Saatchi Art in August 2014, where he had served as CEO for a year. The addition of the artwork marketplace (and Society6, another marketplace Leaf Group acquired in 2013 that turns its network of artists' designs into buyable HomeGoods) has taught the media properties in the portfolio a lot about e-commerce, he said.

In this episode of Oh My Heath ... There's HOPE! Jana talks with Dr. Teresa Fuller.

She received both her M.D. and Ph.D. at Howard University in 1999 and has been a practicing pediatrician in the Maryland area for more than 15 years.

I talked with Joseph Lieberman about how to deal with unhappy customers. This is the business of e-commerce. Episode 104, Charles: 00:15 Welcome to the business of eCommerce they should have that helps eCommerce retailers start, launch and grow their eCommerce business. I'm your host, Charles Palleschi and I'm here today with Joseph Lieberman. Joseph is a director of marketing at ant audio where he focuses on growing the company for brand awareness and earned media. Is Joseph on the show today to talk about how to deal with unhappy customers? So, Hey Joseph, how are you doing today? Doing great. I'm a happy customer currently. Well, I'm happy to have you on the show. This is one of those topics that I love chatting about and not many people, not many people talk about this side of e-commerce and I feel like it, it's one of those things as even the owner of the business or anyone customer service, you spend a ton of your time dealing with like the 1% of users that are unhappy. Most orders, you know, going out, things just work great. Hopefully. but those orders that don't cause us like a reduction in time and everything. So how do you deal with this or what do you know, what are some best practice for this? Joseph: 01:18 So the, to be clear, to be clear, you know, as the marketing person in our company I, I view customer services of very different things and say maybe the customer service manager at our company who's in the trenches as it were. Like he's the one you know, emailing and talking to these people constantly and that kind of thing. So when it comes to the marketing side, my approach of dealing with might be a little different than, than the expectation of, you know, I need to send this guy an email. I need to, you know, get his shipping info. I need to figure out what the problem is. You know, those kinds of things. I'm thinking about more of the, the big scheme of things. What is going on here, right? What is caused somebody to be upset and what systems can we fix that will prevent this from happening again? So on the one hand unhappy customers are bad, but on the other hand, unhappy customers are good. And so I actually kind of want to talk about if I may that second part, which is how can unhappy customers be good? So rather than sort of get bogged down in the details of like, how do you fix a problem, I guess. Charles: 02:35 Yeah, I like that. I feel like some of the, some of the unhappy customers, they're the ones that kind of push you further along to put like push you to do better, for lack of a better term though, where you, you have, you have to get better at dealing with certain issues and over time, you know, every time you set up
Learn about the future of your work and your life! Futurist-technologist-entrepreneur Byron Reese is a lover of technology and history, which may sound strange. But he truly appreciates how the past and the future are deeply connected, and that if we don’t look back, we will have a much harder time appreciating where we are going as we move forward, ever faster and faster...something he examines in his new book, “The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers & The Future of Humanity.” Listen, learn, share! Byron shares how he became inspired by the future The creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, said that in the future, “There would be no hunger, there would be no greed, and all the children will know how to read.” This quote gnawed at Byron, and he wondered if it was true. Or did it just sound true because it rhymed? He decided to try to figure it out, which is how he became a futurist. “The biggest problems of tomorrow will not be a lack of jobs but a shortage of humans to take advantage of all of the opportunities technology will offer.” --Byron I know you will love our conversation and perhaps will begin to wonder yourself about what the future holds for us all. What's coming next? With AI, machine learning, robots, autonomous vehicles, blockchain, Internet of Things, and all the changes coming in the way the different generations and cultures think, we have a lot to enjoy—if you, like me, enjoy change and helping others embrace it. And if you do not like change, hang on! You may be forced to adapt in the years to come, like it or not. Some background on Byron For 20 years, Byron Reese has been building and running internet and software companies. He has obtained or has pending patents in disciplines as varied as crowdsourcing, content creation and psychographics.

Charles Martin, PhD, data scientist, machine learning AI consultant, and chief scientist at Calculation Consulting, delivers a thorough overview of the technologies that are helping companies expand their customer base and increase revenue. Martin is an experienced professional in machine learning, deep learning, data science, and AI software development. He has a long history in the technology field and was instrumental in the development of machine learning systems for major corporations and companies such as GoDaddy, Aardvark (acquired by Google), eBay, and Blackrock. Martin assisted Demand Media in their successful mission to become the first $1B IPO since Google. His specialization in software engineering and ML experience has made him a top consultant for many companies. Additionally, Martin is a full stack developer for web, object oriented, and numerical programming. Martin earned his PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Chicago. Martin gives an overview of his company and explains how they specialize in AI and machine learning with a keen focus on translating research into products. Calculation Consulting operates primarily in three areas, strategy, data science, and product development. In regard to strategy, the company seeks to find ways to design new products and predict revenue streams from aggregate data. Regarding data science, their team provides data solutions by applying machine learning algorithms to discover the essential patterns that can drive traffic, engagement, and sales. And in product development, Calculation Consulting builds and deploys contemporary, end-to-end, highly sophisticated, cloud-based software systems. The technology visionary discusses some of the areas his company excels in, such as semantic search and matching. Semantic relates to ‘meaning' in language. Semantic search improves search accuracy by more fully understanding a searcher's intent via the contextual meaning. By utilizing concept matching, synonyms, and natural language algorithms, a semantic search can produce a better interactive search and deliver more specific personalized results. He discusses some of the prototypes he has built in this area of the tech field. Martin expounds upon the ways that research has progressed especially thanks to Kaggle, the successful online community of data scientists and machine learners that is powered and owned by Google, Inc. Kaggle enables its many users to locate and publish data sets, to intensely explore and build models in a web-oriented data-science environment, work in connection with other data scientists, enter their work in competitions, and so forth. Martin explains how Facebook, Google, and Amazon alone have put thousands of their top engineers to work on these types of open source projects to develop the most innovative research and turn it into real tools and products. He discusses some of the top open source tools for natural language processing, and his techniques for running them in actual production, working with queries, etc. in the real world. He explains that the process of pulling all this information together, understanding how to utilize the techniques, methods, etc. is an area of their particular expertise. Martin explains in detail the methods of analyzation and how the technology is useful in a practical business work environment. He discusses their project phases and how they assist companies, citing specific examples of companies they have helped, to use neural networks to solve business-specific problems. Martin discusses click-thru and view prediction models, and gives examples of businesses that Calculation Consulting has assisted in their quest to learn more about customer behavior to increase revenue. Specifically, Martin details ways to increase click-thru efficiency using machine learning, and other tips to drive interest and sales. The machine learning specialist relates how, today, there are so many problems that can be solved via machine learning technology. He discusses online traffic and clicks and the successes he has had growing companies with the technologies, some of which have seen their revenue streams expand to amazing new levels. Further, Martin discusses the reservations that some high-level managers and even CEOs may have about making the transition to the new technologies, in spite of the exponential advantages for their companies. But Martin states that while some companies are slow to move, those with the right mindset, who hunger to jump into the AI arena, are clients that he and his team at Calculation Consulting can help to reach new levels of success in business.

In this week's episode of #MediaSnack David and Tom discuss the #MediaChange rallying cry issued by P&G's Marc Pritchard on the IAB Annual Leadership Marketing conference. Change is coming to the digital ad market. That much can be assured in 2017 because Procter & Gamble has decreed that it will no longer put up with the ecosystem as it works today. CMO Marc Pritchard recently told the US IAB Media Leadership conference that he and his company were calling time on current practices. Anyone who wanted P&G money would have to make radical changes by the end of the year. Central to his critique of how the industry works was the need to deliver transparency, reform supply chains, adopt common standards on viewability and open up to third party metrics. He accepted that advertisers had to take some of the responsibility for the current situation – even P&G had accepted these compromises in the race for digital firsts – and most had demanded cheap media and lowered fees. The message was powerful not just because it was delivered at the IAB – around a third of total ad spend goes on digital – but also because of the way it was delivered. The tone was calm, considered but also exasperated and defiant. The challenge was put into the context of the fundamentals of marketing and the challenges for P&G to drive a business outcome. Pritchard’s words carry great weight, not only is he the CMO of the world’s biggest-spending advertiser but he’s also just taken over as president of the US ANA. Many marketers across the US were looking for leadership following 2016’s media transparency bombshells. Some are confused by the sheer complexity of the challenge and don’t know where to start. P&G’s public roadmap helps them identify the first wins on the journey to a better relationship. While this a P&G initiative it's also a call to action for the industry. Other companies now have an obligation to act – and many already are quietly making changes to the way they operate. His willingness to accept some of the blame for the current situation was welcome but he called out agencies acting as principal and when challenged but admitting that they had to do so because the “fee doesn’t cover your expenses”. Agencies may have been acting in within the wording of the contract but that doesn't mean they should have behaved in this way. The question the industry needs to answer is how other marketers should respond, particularly those that don’t have the resources and budget leverage to make the likes of Facebook and Google behave differently. ID Comms has been promoting the notion of 2017 as a year of #mediachange and invites everyone to participate with their own thoughts and comments. Future editions of #mediasnack will address those contributions. Central to Pritchard’s manifesto was the wider notion that brands needed to change their agency or change their contract to ensure new behaviours become established – while some will pitch their account, others might go down the renegotiation route. Marketers also need to look in the mirror and consider not just their contract rights but also their behaviours as a client to the agency. CMOs need to ask themselves: “am I clear about my KPIs, the scope of work and am I paying the agency fairly for the value they create?” True #mediachange is about more than just negotiating new terms, marketers need to consider their media governance model, and whether they view media as an investment in growth or a cost to be managed downwards. It’s also worth noting that while Pritchard’s comments were broad, they were especially focused on the digital media business and the supply chain. The ANA’s own research said that bad practice was pervasive across TV, Print and Outdoor, not just digital. The right answers for P&G won’t be right for all advertisers but Pritchard has said the previously unsayable and every CMO should consider his words carefully.
In this episode of our Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, I am joined by Nicole Rodrigues, CEO and founder of NRPR Group, a strategic positioning agency in Beverly Hills, which was awarded best PR agency in the city. More than 16 years ago, Nicole worked in-house as a PR coordinator for the Oakland Raiders, while also cheering for the team as a Raiderette. She’s developed and executed strategic campaigns for some of the biggest names in business, such as Yahoo!, Dolby, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony PlayStation, Hulu, M-GO, Toon Hero, Demand Media, MobiTV, and the Oakland Raiders. During the interview, Nicole will take us on a journey from her childhood, growing up the oldest of 9 children in Fremont, California, working 3 jobs to pay for her college education to pursuing her dreams as a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders and becoming the owner of a very successful PR company. Nicole will also discuss the important role exercise and nutrition played in helping her to achieve her goals and why, while in the 8th grade, she decided to give up drinking soda and how that has impacted her life. Nicole believes that in order to be successful you must have a positive mindset and limit the amount of negative people in your life. Nicole doesn’t believe in excuses. She believes if she can live her life’s dream and purpose, coming from humble beginnings, anyone can. Nicole didn’t know how she was going to achieve her goals but stayed on a positive, health conscious path, believed in herself and her abilities and became a trailblazer.
