On this 249th episode of "Marketing Today," host Alan Hart speaks with Jonathon Morgan, the founder and CEO of Yonder, an AI company that helps Fortune 500 communication teams identify and counteract online disinformation about issues that matter to their organization.  In this episode, Morgan talks about the power of groups with extreme ideals and how thought radicalization can mean something different for marketers.  Our conversation starts with understanding Yonder's mission and how the company originated. Early in his career, Morgan conducted internet research, advising the state department on how they could counter the impact of online radicalization worldwide.  Morgan explains that the modern concept of the internet is based on a fundamental premise — "there is wisdom in the crowd."  He soon found out, however, that "if you value crowds, you inadvertently value mobs," and that someone who manipulates social platforms can have an immeasurable amount of power in swaying the crowd's thinking.  From there, Morgan provides insights on the pros and cons of social media censoring and how easily misinformation and extremist ideals can leak into mainstream media. Finally, he talks about how the idea of radicalization isn't always a bad thing when it comes to brand marketing.   In this episode, you'll learn: The vulnerability of the internet and our social ecosystem What contributes to the origins of radical groups and how misinformation can spread The difference between good and bad radicalization The importance of authentically communicating your company's values How to build a coalition for your brand and leverage communication better   Key Highlights: [02:16] Yonder's mission and how they got started [05:46] How a person can have an incredible influence on the way the public thinks [07:44] Motivations behind a mob; looking at the riots on the Capitol [11:17] The pros and cons of censoring on social platforms [15:21] How radical ideals spread into mainstream media [18:40] When radicalization isn't always a bad thing [24:00] Jonathon's advice to brand marketers about building a network [32:53] How taking a stand is complicated but essential [35:02] An experience that defines Jonathon made him who he is today [36:27] Jonathon's advice to his younger self [37:38] An impactful purchase Jonathon has recently made [41:15] The brands, companies, and causes Jonathon follows [42:38] What Jonathon thinks is the biggest opportunity for marketers today   Resources Mentioned:  Yonder Jonathon Morgan - CEO of Yonder, his personal site The prior episode on Marketing Today with Lisa Roberts, CMO at Yonder 4Chan (Wikipedia) QAnon (Wikipedia) Overton Window (Wikipedia) Coalition Building (Wikipedia) Alan's dream weights and workout equipment - Rogue Fitness Queen's Gambit (Netflix) Example Chess Set   Subscribe to the podcast: Listen in iTunes (link: http://apple.co/2dbdAhV) Listen in Google Podcasts (link: http://bit.ly/2Rc2kVa) Listen in Spotify (Link: http://spoti.fi/2mCUGnC ) Connect with the Guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathonmorgan/ https://twitter.com/jonathonmorgan https://twitter.com/therealyonder Connect with Marketing Today and Alan Hart: http://twitter.com/abhart https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanhart http://twitter.com/themktgtoday https://www.facebook.com/themktgtoday/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/marketing-today-with-alan-hart/   Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/marketingtoday See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In previous episodes we’ve looked at this issue of tech dominance from several angles. We’ve seen how they gather data, what they can do with it, how they make money from it, and how social media allows them to muddy the water and shape the narrative. You may have asked yourself along the way, “how can they do this? Why doesn’t the government do anything about it?”  The seven largest tech companies spent nearly $500 million dollars lobbying Congress in the last decade. That sounds like a huge amount of money, but when you consider that they’ve gained trillions in market value during the same period of time, it was just money well spent. This episode, we’ll dive into why government has dropped the ball on tech regulation to such an extreme degree, and what they might be able to still do to rein in the worst of these big tech behaviors.  Featured guests this episode:  K Krasnow Waterman was the Chief Information Officer of the first post-9/11 data analytics facility established by the White House and, next, led the reorganization of the FBI's intelligence operations. She has held a multitude of roles across the government and business worlds, as well as being a Sloan Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Michael Slaby was the Chief Technology Officer of Obama for America in 2008. In 2012, he rejoined the campaign as Chief Integration and Innovation Officer. When the campaign finished, he began work on social impact organizations that leverage technology to create social movements. Today, he's the Chief Strategist at Harmony Labs.  Jonathon Morgan is the founder of Yonder, a fast-growing Authentic Internet company on a mission to give the online world the same amount of authentic cultural context as the offline world. Using artificial intelligence, we help organizations identify the groups and narratives that drive conversation, revealing what matters and creating the confidence to act. Matt Stoller is a fellow at the Open Markets Institute and the author of Goliath: The Hundred Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy Katelyn Ringrose is a Christopher Wolf Diversity Fellow at the Future of Privacy Forum. She currently works on health and genetics privacy issues, and is tracking state and federal privacy legislation.

When I got on Facebook in 8th grade, it was worth somewhere in the vicinity of $100 million. By the time I was a junior in college, studying abroad in Senegal and forced to have a much more limited Internet experience, it was worth $50 billion.  Today, it’s worth about $550 billion, the 5th most valuable company in the world.  How did they do it?  Well, it turns out your data is really, really valuable to advertisers. And the longer you stay on the platform, the more ads they can serve you, translating directly to more dollars in their pocket.  What happened, is that they discovered anger and fear. Anger and fear drive more engagement than positivity and hope ever could -- and so that was the content their algorithm pushed.  In the preparation for this episode, I asked a colleague for an introduction to a friend of his who I wanted to interview for this podcast, a former senior executive at a social media company.  The response?  “I sold. I’m out. I don’t want anyone to remember I was doing that.”    Featured guests this episode:  K Krasnow Waterman was the Chief Information Officer of the first post-9/11 data analytics facility established by the White House and, next, led the reorganization of the FBI's intelligence operations.

Ep. 4 — A Single Dad’s Quest for Parenting Advice Positions him to Expose Russian Interference in U.S. Elections / Jonathon Morgan, CEO and Co-Founder, New Knowledge In this episode, Jonathon Morgan, CEO and Co-Founder of New Knowledge describes how the social media skills he acquired as a young single dad on the quest for parenting advice and online community gave him the skills and tools 15 years later to uncover the Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential elections.  Morgan talks about the difficult period in his life when he and his cyber security company were accused — he says mischaracterized — of using social media manipulation tactics similar to the Russians, to influence 650,000 likely voters in an Alabama Senate election to vote in favor of the democratic candidate. And he shares what that experience taught him about leadership.  And Morgan looks at what it will take for society to move from what he describes as online mob rule towards an authentic Internet and the price society will pay if we fail in those efforts.

Through these stories, we take you behind the scenes to get an inside perspective of some of the most eventful moments of our time. Chitra:   On this episode, we will be talking to Jonathon Morgan. He is CEO and co-founder of New Knowledge, one of the first organizations outside the US intelligence community to identify Russia systematic campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election a social media and counter terrorism expert. Jonathon has advised the State Department and Congress and he and his team produced the Senate intelligence committees extensive report that revealed the scope of Russia's effort to sway the 2016 elections. Jonathon, welcome to the podcast. Jonathon:   Thanks so much for having me. Excited to be here. Chitra:   Tell us a little bit more about yourself and how you first became involved in social media and understanding its importance. Jonathon:   Well, I mean I guess it goes back kind of a long way. So when I, I lived outside the US when I was younger, especially in high school. And one of the ways that I stayed in touch with all the friends that I had back home was this was the early days. So this was AOL Instant Messenger and it was kind of like a social network at the time. And it really got me into, I don't know, just how much personal connection people could make online and then got into coding and building websites and it's kind of really early days. I was a super geeky. I mean this was almost 20 years ago now, and then I think ultimately I thought my career was going to go a different direction, but kind of stumbled back into social media in the early days of online communities. Like just kind of pre Twitter to properly date myself in early adulthood, kind of right after I'd had a had a baby. Chitra:   So how old were you then? Jonathon:   Well, so it would have been 21 which was daunting at the time, and actually I think that was, that was a big part of it. I think that's why, again, I was kind of in a weird situation where I had a kid at a really young age. For me anyway, very unexpected, it was an odd time. I think now it's pretty commonplace for young parents to retain some sense of their identity that's like outside of being a parent. There was that whole, you know, hipster parenting movement 10 years ago. And so now it's kind of normal. But I think at the time it was, it still felt to me like the only model that I had for parenting was, was my parents, which again, at 21 felt really weird.

The partial shutdown that has impacted a quarter of the US government and some 800,000 federal employees is now 17 days old, with no end in sight. President Donald Trump and his team seem focused on finding a way around Congress by using emergency powers to redirect money for the proposed border wall, which would be challenged in court immediately. The president plans to address the nation over the situation at the southern border on Tuesday and visit the border on Thursday. Meanwhile, the partial government shutdown is extending into its third week, and the fallout is having devastating effects on everyday Americans. A new bill could impose penalties for entities that boycott Israel. In his recent MintPress article titled, "New Senate Anti-BDS Bill Unconstitutional and Ineffective at Curbing Boycotts," Alex Rubinstein writes, "Pro-Israel lawmakers in Washington, undeterred by the partial shutdown of the United States government, are pursuing their agenda full speed with the introduction of the first piece of legislation before the 116th Senate — a bill that aims to stifle the free-speech rights of American critics of apartheid Israel. BDS seeks to place economic pressure on companies and institutions that support Israeli ones operating in illegally occupied areas in Palestine, in order to pressure the Israeli government into compliance with international law and to cease its practices of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and the ongoing encroachment of Israeli settlements." What's going on here, and why is the US so protective of Israel?In the recent Gray Zone Project article, "Senate Report on Russian Interference Was Written By Disinformation Warriors Behind Alabama ‘False Flag Operation,'" writer Dan Cohen states: " ... the authors of one of the reports soon suffered a major blow to their credibility when it was revealed that they had engaged in what they called a 'Russian style' online disinformation operation aimed to swing a hotly contested special Senate election. The embarrassing revelation has already resulted in one of the authors having his Facebook page suspended. The well-funded deception was carried out by New Knowledge, a private cyber intelligence firm founded by two self-styled disinformation experts who are veterans of the Obama administration: Jonathon Morgan and Ryan Fox." What's behind the deception and propaganda, and why isn't mainstream media talking about it?GUESTS:Monica Biscoe — VP of marketing and communications for Maryland Strategic ConsultingDr. Jack Rasmus — Professor of economics at Saint Mary's College of California and author of Central Bankers at the End of Their Ropes: Monetary Policy and the Coming Depression, who also writes at jackrasmus.com.Dan Cohen — Correspondent at RT America, filmmaker and director of Killing Gaza, and writer for The Gray Zone Project.

We meet investigators looking into social media manipulation and the people behind the Hamilton 68 project, which monitors suspected Russian accounts. Two reports recently prepared for US Senate investigators detailed extensive Russian efforts to influence major social networks. Trending travels to Texas to meet the people behind one of the reports at New Knowledge, a company that was involved in the development of the “Hamilton 68 dashboard” – a running tally of hashtags and other information on accounts linked to Russian propaganda. New Knowledge has been one of a number of companies at the forefront of the investigation into the Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency and other disinformation campaigns. But the firm has also been criticised for lack of transparency around Hamilton 68 and for its involvement in a project during the US Senate race in Alabama. How do researchers answer those criticisms – and what are the methods they use to establish the origins of disinformation and social media propaganda?
