At The Media Leader's Future of Media Manchester event last week, effectiveness expert Peter Field and Newsworks insights director Heather Dansie presented new research that shows investing in high-attention media channels — TV, cinema, radio, news brands and magazine brands — is more profitable than investing in low-attention ones.And yet, over the past decade, adspend has flowed to social media and pure-play internet, and away from those channels.What accounts for this? And what would happen if marketers heeded effectiveness research that repeatedly indicates a severe over-investment in ineffective, short-termist digital media inventory?During the conference, Field and Dansie sat down with Lumen CEO and report co-author Mike Follett for a special live edition of the podcast with Jack Benjamin.The trio of industry-leading researchers unpacked the findings and criticised media planners for failing to responsibly invest their clients' money in media placements with long-term benefits."My suggestion to media planners is: do your fucking job," said Follett. "Don't take the easy thing. Actually think: where am I going to get the best result for my clients?"Highlights:1:12: Topline takeaways from the research5:38: Methodology and why smaller brands must embrace advertising beyond performance12:25: Why has ad investment shifted away from high-attention media? CFOs driving the agenda and lazy media planners19:05: Are all news brands equal?24:25: Why aren't evidence-based arguments sinking in?Related articles:High-attention media is more profitable, finds Peter Field, Lumen and NewsworksDigital adspend to grow by double digits in 2025 and 2026One-third of indie publishers could shut down by next year as AI search hits trafficAre advertisers ‘swimming in a sea of garbage'?---Thanks to our production partners Trisonic for editing this episode.--> Discover how Trisonic can elevate your brand and expand your business by connecting with your ideal audienceVisit The Media Leader for the most authoritative news analysis and comment on what's happening in commercial media.

This week we welcome Tim Follett, the founder and CEO of Structure Flow, a visual structuring tool designed specifically for lawyers. The conversation begins with a light-hearted discussion about recent events each attended. Greg shares his experience at the KM&I conference in New York, while Tim recounts his time at the Legal Geek conference in London. Marlene, not to be left out, talks about participating in Houston's Biketoberfest at the ION innovation hub and her insightful presentation with Ian Wilson from Servient on eDiscovery workflow. Tim delves into his experience at Legal Geek, highlighting the festival-like atmosphere and the palpable momentum within the legal tech ecosystem. He notes a significant increase in focus on AI and legal technology, emphasizing how these tools are becoming integral in the industry. The diversity and growth of the event reflect the expanding interest and investment in legal tech solutions worldwide. The discussion transitions to the critical role of data visualization in the legal sector. Tim explains how his frustrations as a corporate attorney—particularly the tedious process of creating structure charts in PowerPoint—led him to develop Structure Flow. He underscores the importance of visual tools in capturing and communicating complex information, making it more accessible and understandable. Visualizing relationships and connections help lawyers cut through complexity, a necessity in today's intricate legal landscape. Exploring the integration of AI, Tim describes how Structure Flow leverages artificial intelligence to enhance data visualization. By using large language models, the platform can automate the translation of written language into visual diagrams, effectively reducing manual workload and increasing efficiency. This capability is particularly useful in tasks like legal entity rationalization, where visualizing extensive data sets can be daunting and time-consuming. Looking ahead, Tim shares his vision for the future of visualization tools in the legal industry. He envisions a seamless, interconnected tech stack where lawyers can initiate new matters with AI assistance, pulling in all necessary information and working across multiple platforms through a unified interface. This integrated approach aims to reduce mental load, improve collaboration, and ultimately transform how legal professionals interact with complex data. The episode concludes with Tim's enthusiasm about expanding Structure Flow's presence in the U.S. market, bolstered by recent Series A funding, and his insights into the evolving landscape of legal technology.   Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gebauerm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glambert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript

Karl Beckstrand was exposed to gay sex at age 8 by a male peer. Because of that experience at such a tender age, Karl developed a dysfunctional relationship with sex. He became hypersexual from that first encounter at age 8 until he was about 40, at which point he went to the other extreme and became a recluse for a decade. Here, he tells the story of how he learned to get his emotional needs met in a healthy way. Guest Bio College media instructor Karl W.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 3, 2024 is: connive • kuh-NYVE • verb To connive is to secretly help someone do something dishonest or illegal. // Roger suspected that his coworkers were conniving to get him fired when in reality they were planning his surprise birthday party. See the entry > Examples: "The truth is that conflict on the river will never be stilled because there will always be more demand for the water than there is water. As I reported in 'Colossus,' my 2010 book about the building of Hoover Dam, [Herbert] Hoover and his deputy, Arthur Powell Davis, connived in 1922 to exaggerate the Colorado River's flow in order to persuade all seven states that it carried enough water to serve their interests, then and into the future." — Michael Hiltzik, The Los Angeles Times, 8 Feb. 2023 Did you know? Connive may not seem like a term that would raise many hackles, but it certainly raised those of Wilson Follett, a usage critic who lamented that the word "was undone during the Second World War, when restless spirits felt the need of a new synonym for plotting, bribing, spying, conspiring, engineering a coup, preparing a secret attack." Follett thought connive should only mean "to wink at" or "to pretend ignorance." Those senses are closer to the Latin ancestor of the word: connive comes from the Latin verb connivēre, which means "to close the eyes" and which is descended from -nivēre, a form akin to the Latin verb nictare, meaning "to wink." But many English speakers disagreed, and the "conspire" sense is now the word's most widely used meaning.

Barbara Follett was once a famous child author. As a young adult, she fell in love and married, but the marriage was troubled. One day in December 1939, Barbara got into a fight with her husband and walked out of the house. She was never seen again, and her whereabouts after she left the house are still unknown. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the disappearance of Barbara Follett. Barbara wrote two acclaimed books by the time she was fourteen years old and had traveled the world. After her disappearance, Barbara's husband, Nick, came under suspicion. He waited to alert the police and asked that her disappearance not be publicized. What happened to Barbara Follett? Did she travel to some far off destination to start a new life or did she meet with foul play?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: According to some reports, New York City's air quality has hit its worst level since the 1980s as a result of smoke plumes generated from Canadian wildfires. In the aftermath of the wildfires, members of the left blamed the subsequent low air quality on climate change. While addressing the press, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy implored residents to remain indoors as the state deals with smoke from wildfires in Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. According to David Krayden of The Post Millennial, “[t]he Trudeau government continues to insist that wildfires in Canada are the direct result of climate change. This is despite indications that forest mismanagement.” Consequently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is advocating on behalf of a higher carbon tax to combat climate change.
