Omnicom Group's pending acquisition of Interpublic Group seems especially timely in the hindsight of last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. A major talking point among the brand and agency executives in attendance was the onset of the so-called agentic era of artificial intelligence, in which AI tools handle multi-step tasks for people like booking a full travel itinerary — or firing off a client brief. In this era, data will be at even more of a premium than it is today “If you think about the IPG acquisition, we will have a broader platform to to do things. We will have the broadest dataset on the buy side anywhere in the world, and more expertise, more clients,” Jonathan Nelson, CEO of the agency holding company's digital arm Omnicom Digital, said on the latest Digiday Podcast, which was recorded in person at CES. The combined company will also have Omni AI, a product that Omnicom is developing to combine various foundational large language models. “We're putting that on every employee's desktop in Omnicom right now,” Nelson said. Which gets at another aspect of how AI will affect agencies' business. As agencies effectively outsource tasks to AI tools, the traditional agency compensation model — in which agencies are paid in accordance with the time it takes to complete client projects — will be under pressure. This is again where Omnicom is counting on the combination with IPG and the corresponding dataset — as well as its previous acquisition of commerce platform Flywheel — to be able to adopt a model in which its client fees are contingent on the results of its work rather than the time it takes to complete that work. “Here we are sitting on this massive dataset. It's coming together across audience, activation, outcomes. It has that purpose, which is driving towards outcomes remuneration,” said Nelson.

Jeff Berg, president of AbelsonTaylor Group, offers an independent's perspective on last year's announced merger of Omnicom with Interpublic Group, in an interview with Jack O'Brien.And on our Trends segment, Marc Iskowitz previews the 43rd annual J.P.

We look at this hopeful book by Larry Weber. See more about A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good here. A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good, reviewed We need as many books like this as possible. As always those wishing to take no responsibility will say that the tech is neutral, it is merely what the user choses to do with it. Trouble is, sitting on the fence can enable irreparable harm to happen. Larry Weber aims to take the reader from knowing nothing to having a deep and nuanced view of what tech for good could and probably should mean. As always the challenge is to get as many people on board as soon as possible. This book covers a wide range of sectors and possible routes to enabling a more effective tech for good future. At the same time the book is also under two hundred pages long, which does mean it can feel like a slightly whistle stop tour across the issues. This may be no harm if it is intended to reach busy C-suite executives who are aware that they need to be doing more in this respect for their own businesses and the wider planet too. The growth of B-Corps is hopefully part of a wider trend towards business not being divorced from the needs of the planet. This book is definitely worth sharing with relevant thought leaders and influencers. More about A New Age of Reason Leverage technology to propel humankind toward a better future A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good provides a roadmap for integrating emerging world-changing technologies, such as AI/robotics, chips/sensors, and quantum computing, to solve some of today's thorniest and most pressing problems like climate change and world hunger. The author offers inspiring examples of companies using technology to positively impact humanity. The book provides an actionable playbook to transform your organization around this mission, including how to develop a tech for good strategy, how to evolve the C Suite to deliver on this mission, how to market it, as well as measure outcomes. The author also discusses the latest technology breakthroughs delivering positive world outcomes, such as: Extending a surgeon's "eyes and hands" via robotics surgical systems to improve patient outcomes Computer vision tech that enables farmers to maximize crops to feed our burgeoning population AI/robotics that identify and fight wildfires Bringing together a collective of major thinkers on this subject and providing guidance for a better future, A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good is a timely read for all executive leaders seeking to harness the new wave of technology to solve key societal problems and have a positive impact on the world. More about the author Larry Weber is the Chairman & CEO of Racepoint Global (www.racepointglobal.com), an advanced marketing services agency, well-known expert in PR and marketing services, and author.

Marketers who fail to make their voices heard in the growing debate regarding data privacy could be in for a rude wakening if they don't step up to the plate. That's according to Arun Kumar, author of the recently released book The Data Deluge: Making Marketing Work for Brands and People, and former chief data and marketing technology officer at The Interpublic Group of Cos. Kumar joins how Matthew Schwartz to discuss why the marketing field is may be making a grave mistake deferring to Big Tech when it comes to influencing the conversation about fostering online privacy.

NICK'S BIO Between growing up in a northern England rural town to leading global insights and analytics for one of the most successful consumer products companies in the world – a lot happens. This is the case for Nick Graham, a remarkable student of human behavior, societal trends and consumer taste. Nick studied History & French at Oxford University which somehow led him to start a career in the world of marketing, first as an advertising planner at GCI Media then InterPublic Group, pivoting later to brand & innovation strategy at Clear, the M&C Saatchi's strategy division. That foundation led him to spend almost 10 years at PepsiCo where he led insights and analytics for the company's global beverages business followed by running insights & analytics for the US business unit of the consumer products giant. He oversaw the reinvention and redesign of the Pepsi brand as well as the company's strategic shift to new categories like sparkling water (Bubly with $100 million in 1st year sales), energy drinks (Rockstar), protein/sports drinks (Muscle Milk), coffee & tea (Starbucks partnership). He is currently Senior Vice President and Global Head of Insights & Analytics at Mondelez International (“Snacking Made Right”). The company's brands include Oreos, Chips Ahoy, Clif Bar,  Wheat Thins, Cadbury, Milka and Ritz Crackers. His focus, a big one:  transforming the function, integrating data science, AI and behavioral economics to help the business understand the shifts the company needs to make to meet future consumer demand.  We talk about marketing, brands, human behavior, innovation, artificial intelligence and the fact that humans innately try to achieve balance in life - including the spectrum of what we consume to nourish ourselves. There is a place for kale salads and probiotics as well as the indulgence and satisfaction that comes with opening an Oreo cookie, licking the frosty cream and chomping on the chocolaty cookie goodness - a source of much debate around the world.

The Judiciary Committee of the House is presently looking into the possible contravention of antitrust regulations by significant advertisers, who may have conspired over which media agencies to exclude. Confidential documents obtained from the World Federation of Advertisers lend insight into a plan devised to ipso facto dissuade prominent advertisers from collaborating with certain news organizations. This concerted action may potentially lead to financial ruin for those media entities unable to secure the desired endorsement. The documents, as per the letters, suggest that the consortium may have sought to exclude established conservative news outlets. This includes, as per the documents, key players in the digital news frontier such as Fox News, Daily Wire, and Breitbart. Further probing into the matter has led the committee to seek answers from large corporations that make up GARM's 'steering committee', including Unilever, Procter & Gamble, GroupM, Diageo, and Mars. These particular documents ostensibly connect these corporations with such endeavors. These organizations have yet to publicly release any documents relevant to the active investigation. In addition, the letters have called for any communication originating from these corporations associated with the categorization, demonetization, or censuring of online speech. Furthermore, these inquiries also extend to communications concerning alterations subsequent to Elon Musk's X acquisition, a period marked by an exodus of many advertisers in reaction to the ousting of the more liberal-leaning Jack Dorsey in favor of Elon Musk. The investigation raises the possibility of individual accountability for these companies in relation to the actions of the collective body formulated. The group, known as GARM, appears to display cartelistic tendencies, despite the ostensibly rival status of many of its constituents. Announcing its objective of producing 'a safe media ecosystem', the Global Alliance through the World Economic Forum mirrors a mission statement you might expect from a figure akin to Darth Vader. The Global Alliance or GARM, as it is popularly known, is committed to ensuring consumer safety, minimalizing advertiser risks, building digital platform credibility, and above all, cultivating a sustainable online ecosystem. Major players who have pledged their support for the Global Alliance for Responsible Media through the Forum's Platform for Shaping the Future of Media, Entertainment and Sport include some of the biggest names in the business world such as the LEGO Group, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, NBC Universal – MSNBC, Dentsu Group, WPP (through GroupM), Interpublic Group, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom Group, Facebook, and Google. In an escalating response to 'misinformation', GARM resolved in 2022 to list it among the online content classifications it deems unethical to support with advertising. Precisely, it advised corporations to consider the likes of NewsGuard, the Global Disinformation Index, and the Journalism Trust Initiative when deciding which media outlets to collaborate with. These organizations are believed to serve as arbiters of safe and reputable spaces for both ad buyers and news consumers. GARM assures its members of 'Brand Safety'. Concrete embodiments of this concept have been shown through commercial agencies like Newsguard. Here, potential ad buyers are provided with compliant lists distinguishing which TV shows, channels, podcasts, or newspapers are either safe for advertising or best evaded. This method is presented as a safety measure to guard their reputation against potential boycotts or negative campaigns. The crux of this approach is to protect corporations from facing backlash or smear campaigns from left-leaning factions. This essentially advises corporations to steer clear of certain media outlets if they wish to avoid any potential controversy. In its 2022 progress report, GARM reveled in qualities that, when viewed from a different perspective, could highlight anticompetitive practices. GARM's inception hinged on an exceptional alliance, marked by a novel approach to collaboration. This relies on the understanding that all sectors of the advertising industry stand to gain from forming partnerships. This partnership goes on to generate new brand safety protocols and universally accepted industry solutions where there had previously been none. The complex task of authentically influencing the entire media environment was a towering one, GARM acknowledged. Nevertheless, GARM boasts a comprehensive network of 61 significant companies that collectively account for a significant global advertising share, as well as 35 distinct industry affiliations representing numerous other advertisers. As companies looking to advertise are more likely to defer to such 'experts' given judgment on credibility, it potentially paves the way for extensive, coordinated blacklists. Evidently, even the most balanced and staid news outlets can be labeled as risky if they gear towards a conservative audience, such as the New York Post and Reason Magazine. Interestingly, these media raters often assign credibility scores on the basis of how closely the outlets align with the government's official narrative. They penalize outlets who dare to question official stances on topics like the origins of COVID — a theory initially discredited by the government but now largely backed by it. Newsguard has even been known to collaborate directly with the U.S. government, a move that sparked legal action by The Daily Wire and the Federalist. They filed a lawsuit against the State Department that condemns what they call ‘one of the most egregious, manipulative, clandestine, and severe abuses of power and breaches of First Amendment rights by the federal government in American history.' The ongoing Judiciary Committee investigation presents an intriguing landscape demonstrating the evolving dynamics between digital advertisers and online news organizations, where the struggle for credibility, advertising revenue, and ideological influence continues to shape the present and future of the media industry.

So I want to begin with this article. It's titled 3 Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in March and by Lee Samaha. It's found on fool.com. Here are some brief quotes from the article. “1. Trimble (TRMB) With Trimble… infrastructure projects can be precisely managed with a significant reduction in waste and the kind of cost overruns the industry is famous for. It's a key player in digitally transforming how infrastructure is built and maintained… Based on Wall Street analyst estimates, Trimble will trade at slightly less than 20 times the estimated free cash flow in 2025, a highly attractive multiple… 2. Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)  The (copper) miner has the resources and the financial flexibility to invest in increasing supply, and to benefit from increased prices for copper. That's why it's the best mining stock to buy in 2024. 3. Atkore (ATKR)  Atkore [is] a leading manufacturer of products used in electrical power systems in its electrical segment. It also manufactures metal frames and pipes -- among other things -- in its safety and infrastructure segment. Atkore's earnings could significantly improve in the coming years, and so the stock looks like a good value trading on 10 times its estimated 2024 earnings.” End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Sustainable Stocks With a High Yield by Muskaan Hemrajani Sustainable stocks with high yields are also in demand by investors.

By David Kitai Now there's a particular reason I'm including this article titled Can retail clients be impact investors? It's by David Kitai on wealthprofessional.ca. The fund appears to now be available to both US and Canadian investors. You'll see why I'm including this article when you hear these quotes from it. “Within the world of values based investing — which includes both ESG and socially responsible investing (SRI) — impact investing has largely been the remit of billionaires and foundations. Unlike ESG or SRI, which seek to avoid social harm in an investment portfolio, impact investing seeks to fund positive social changes. That sort of investing requires consensus on what constitutes positive change and relatively heavy involvement on the part of the impact investor, which is why it's been largely left outside the reach of retail investors… Late last year, Franklin Templeton Canada launched the Franklin Martin Currie Improving Society Fund, which explicitly aims to provide Canadian retail investors with an impact strategy.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order. 1) Title: 3 Stocks That Are Capitalizing on the Shift to Renewable Energy on investorplace.com.

China and Honduras will deepen their pragmatic cooperation in economy, trade, industrial capacity and infrastructure by fully harnessing each other's competitive advantages as part of their efforts to pursue common development and achieve win-win results, officials said on Sunday.6月11日，中国和洪都拉斯方面表示，中洪将充分利用双方的竞争优势，深化两国在经贸、产能和基础设施方面的务实合作，以谋求共同发展，实现双赢。They made the remarks in Beijing during the first China-Honduras high-level business meeting, which was held amid Honduran President Iris Xiomara Castro Sarmiento's first state visit to China after the two countries established diplomatic relations in March. Castro arrived on Friday and is scheduled to continue her state visit through Wednesday.洪都拉斯总统伊丽丝·希奥玛拉·卡斯特罗·萨缅托于6月9日抵达中国，计划9日至14日对中国进行国事访问。本次交流会是3月26日中国和洪都拉斯正式建交以来的首届高级别企业家交流会,恰逢洪都拉斯总统首次访华期间。来自中国和洪都拉斯的代表齐聚北京，出席中国—洪都拉斯高级别企业家交流会并发表讲话。Zhang Shaogang, vice-chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said that given the two countries' diversity in resources and high economic complementarity, there is broad room for cooperation.中国贸促会副会长张少刚表示，两国资源禀赋不同，经济互补性强，双边合作前景广阔。According to Zhang, nearly 120 Chinese entrepreneurs from various fields such as foreign trade, engineering, finance, telecommunication and tourism were present at the meeting because they have a strong desire to expand cooperation with Honduran companies.张少刚介绍，本次会议吸引了来自外贸、工程、金融、电信、旅游等领域近120名中国企业家参加，企业家们表达了扩大与洪都拉斯企业合作的强烈愿望。Enterprises in the two countries should work together to promote entry of more high-quality Honduran products into the Chinese market, in order to foster more growth drivers and further boost two-way trade, he said.张少刚表示，两国企业共同努力，推动洪都拉斯更多优质产品进入中国市场，培育更多的增长动力，进一步促进双边贸易。Chinese enterprises should fully leverage their competitive advantages, such as capital, technology and management experiences, to scale up investment and cooperation in Honduras and facilitate local economic and social development, he said. Honduran enterprises are welcome to invest in China, he added.中国企业要充分发挥资金、技术、管理经验等竞争优势，扩大对洪投资合作，促进当地经济社会发展。同时中方也欢迎洪都拉斯企业来华投资。Infrastructure connectivity between the two countries will be enhanced, according to Zhang. Eligible Chinese firms will be encouraged to participate in the construction of infrastructure projects in Honduras, in order to enhance local employment opportunities, increase public welfare and advance sustainable growth, he said.中洪两国将加强基础设施的互联互通，中方将鼓励符合条件的中国企业参与洪都拉斯基础设施建设，带动当地就业，增加百姓福祉，促进可持续发展。Fredis Cerrato, minister of economic development of Honduras, said that with a population of 1.4 billion, China has a huge market potential and the size of its market is still rapidly growing. This will provide Honduran enterprises ample opportunities to bring their quality products to the Chinese market.洪都拉斯经济发展部部长弗雷迪斯·塞拉托表示，中国是一个有着14亿多人口的广阔市场，并且在不断快速发展。这为洪都拉斯企业将优质产品推向中国市场提供了充足的机会。Departments concerned will spare no efforts in facilitating more Chinese entrepreneurs to invest in Honduras, especially in technology, communication and infrastructure, to help the country make fast progress, Cerrato said.塞拉托表示，洪都拉斯的有关部门将不遗余力地推动更多中国企业家赴洪都拉斯投资，特别是在科技、通讯、基础设施领域的投资，帮助洪方实现快速发展。The Honduran government will explore every possible means to create favorable conditions for enhancing the well-being of the two peoples and for promoting the development of both economies, he added.洪都拉斯政府将尽全力为增进两国人民福祉、促进双方经济发展创造有利条件。Experts said on Sunday that China and Honduras are at different stages of development, but with broad complementarity in their industrial structures, which bodes well for extensive economic cooperation and mutual benefits.专家表示，虽然中国和洪都拉斯处于不同的发展阶段，但两国产业结构互补性强，这预示两国将实现广泛的经济合作和互利共赢。Zhang Jianping, head of the Center for Regional Economic Cooperation at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said the economic growth of Honduras is primarily driven by its agricultural sector, highlighted by exports of farm produce such as coffee, banana, palm oil, cultivated shrimp, sugar and tobacco.中国国际贸易经济合作研究院区域经济合作中心主任张建平表示，农业是洪都拉斯经济增长的主要支柱，突出体现于咖啡、香蕉、棕榈油、养殖虾、糖和烟草等农产品的出口上。Bo Wenxi, chief economist at marketing firm Interpublic Group, said that for China, closer ties with Honduras will bring more diverse and quality agricultural products, and extend its economic exchanges with Latin American and Caribbean countries.埃培智集团中国首席经济学家柏文喜表示，对中国而言，深化与洪都拉斯的合作将为中国带来更多的种类丰富和优质的农产品，并扩大与拉美和加勒比国家的经济交流。For Honduras, the ties will mean tapping into the huge market potential of the world's second-largest economy, which will further boost its foreign trade and attract more investment from Chinese enterprises, Bo said.柏文喜说，对洪都拉斯而言，中洪关系的深化意味着洪都拉斯利用世界第二大经济体的巨大市场潜力，进一步促进对外贸易，吸引更多中国企业到洪投资。Honduras英 /hɔn'djuərəs/美 /hɔn'djuərəs/n. 洪都拉斯（拉丁美洲国家）Prospect英 /ˈprɒspekt/美 /ˈprɑːspekt/n. 前景Ties英 /taiz/美 /taiz/n. 关系，联系

Peter Phillips, a Professor Emeritus of Political Sociology at Sonoma State University and former Director of Project Censored (1996 to 2010), discusses his book, Giants: The Global Power Elite (2018), that focuses upon the concentration of wealth internationally whereby corporations and giant investment firms—multi-trillion dollar investment companies—have the money and power to restrict the parameters of what is possible for legacy news to cover. Elaborating how news is framed by the one-half of one per cent of the world's population, Phillips notes how those who invest in big media (Comcast, Disney, Time Warner, 21st Century Fox, Bertelsmann, and Viacom/CBS) further protect their profits—to include these same shareholders' investments in war—whereby news stories are modelled around the narrow parameters of these investors' financial interests. Philipps considers the repression of news today by the collaborative efforts of intelligence agencies working to protect and expand capital (eg. governments' “vital interests”) along with the military and political elite within every country.

Elon Musk todavía no ha hecho pública oficialmente su hoja de ruta para su última adquisición, la red social Twitter, pero está empleando esa misma plataforma para ir perfilando algunas ideas y tanteando de paso su acogida por parte del público. Parece que lo que más le preocupa es incrementar los ingresos de la empresa haciendo a la vez que Twitter no sea tan dependiente de la publicidad, que está empezando a volvérsele en contra y cuya inversión se prevé menor en el próximo año. En esa misma línea ha dejado caer que las cosas irán por la vía suscripción, es decir, un pago mensual fijo que otorgará ciertas ventajas como el tick de verificación y mayor visibilidad. No es algo nuevo. Desde que decidió gastarse 44.000 millones en la compra de la compañía, lleva meses diciendo que Twitter depende demasiado de los anunciantes y que lo deseable sería que fuese lo más autónoma posible para su supervivencia. Actualmente el 90% de los ingresos de Twitter provienen de publicidad. La suscripción sólo existe en un servicio denominado Twitter Blue que, por 5 dólares al mes, aporta nuevas funcionalidades, pero que sólo funciona en algunos mercados como el estadounidense, el australiano y el canadiense. Todas las redes sociales, que en origen fueron concebidas como algo gratuito ya que las empresas se las apañaban para ganar dinero vendiendo la audiencia a los anunciantes, están pensando o han incursionado en los programas de suscripción como fuente adicional de ingresos, pero en ningún caso suponen aún un capítulo de ingresos significativo. En Twitter la llegada de Musk ha revitalizado la idea de Twitter Blue, que está en marcha desde mediados del año pasado pero que hasta ahora se había mantenido circunscrita a unos pocos países y con muy poco éxito. Esta premura en adelantar los planes, que pasan necesariamente por la suscripción, seguramente ha venido motivada por el hecho de que dos grandes agencias publicitarias han recomendado esta semana a sus clientes que suspendan temporalmente sus campañas en Twitter hasta que se aclaren las cosas y Musk señale cuáles serán los nuevos criterios de contenido. Estas dos agencias, Interpublic Group y Havas Media, han mostrado a sus clientes su preocupación sobre la voluntad de la nueva dirección de Twitter para moderar el contenido problemático. Eso mete a Musk en problemas porque si cae en masa la publicidad no tardará en hacerlo la propia empresa. Para tratar de evitar lo peor Musk ha comenzado a reunirse con altos ejecutivos de las agencias publicitarias con idea de tranquilizarles sobre las intenciones del nuevo equipo gestor en Twitter. Se ha ofrecido también a reunirse personalmente con los grandes clientes publicitarios para convencerles de que Twitter sigue siendo una plataforma confiable y segura para la publicidad. Los persuada o no de que nada esencial ha cambiado con la nueva gestión, a Musk no le va a quedar más remedio que diversificar los ingresos tal y como ya se había planteado la anterior dirección. Eso pasa por apostar por la suscripción y sacar dinero a quienes participan en la red social creando así un Twitter con dos divisiones claramente diferenciadas. La pregunta es cuántos estarán dispuestos a pagar por Twitter una cantidad similar a la que abonan mensualmente por disfrutar de todo el catálogo de Netflix.

They provide more detail on video and animated graphics, thoughtful use of language and representation, and hosting of physical and virtual events.We talk about making our processes and materials more accessible and at times we even take steps on a specific project to make sure they are. But accessibility is seldom a core value that is delivered on. And yet the numbers of people impacted are staggering globally:Over 400 million people have severe hearing lossNearly 300 million people are visually impairedNearly 200 million people have cognitive disabilityPeople with disabilities make up 15% of the World's populationPeople with disabilities control nearly $13 Trillion worth of buying powerUnderstanding the importance of accessible communications will force us as communications professionals to pay greater attention to engaging people with disabilities in our processes and materials. And accessible communication benefits all audiences, making information clear, direct, and easy to understand.Guest: George Coleman, CEO, Current GlobalLink to Current Global's Making communications accessible by designLink to the PRCA Accessible Communications GuidelinesGeorge loves telling stories.
