Den norske krona har vært en hodepine for Norges Bank i lang tid, og gjennom både sommeren og starten på høsten har krona svekket seg ytterligere.Den svake krona tilsier at vi må holde renten høyere, fordi vi importerer inflasjon gjennom valutakanalen.Dette er også problemer for boligbyggingen, som allerede ligger med brukket rygg. Dels gjennom høy rente og dels gjennom høyere kostnader til boligbygging. Innsatsfaktorene i boligbygging er typisk stål og betong som har priser som settes i internasjonal valuta.Vi spør:Er det utsikter for at krona vil styrke seg?Bør vi gjøre strukturelle politisk grep om kronekursen?Og enda større: Er den svake krona egentlig et problem?Gjester: Rente- og valutastrateg Nils Kristian Knudsen (Handelsbanken) og forsker Erling Holmøy (SSB).

Produktivitetsveksten i Norge er nå lavere enn snittet i OECD. Sammenlignet med de landene vi liker å sammenligne oss meg, så blir Norge mindre effektive, forklarer Hilde Bjørnland, professor i samfunnsøkonomi ved BI. Den lave produktivitetsveksten har vært den viktigste faktoren for å drive ned krona.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kanske lika bra att agera innan IRS och SEC intervenerar i saken.... Men detta skall nog främst ses som priming för vad som ändå måste komma till oavsett över vilken tid.. "I dag firar kungen 50 år på tronen och ”Jubileumsåret 2023” hade kunnat börja bättre. I SVT-dokumentären ”Sveriges sista kungar”, som visades i januari, riktade Carl XVI Gustaf kritik mot det drygt 40 år gamla riksdagsbeslutet som tog ifrån Carl Philip kronprinstiteln. Uttalandet väckte så starka reaktioner att hovet några dagar senare publicerade ett slags dementi där kungen gav sitt fulla stöd till såväl kronprinsessan Victoria som kvinnlig tronföljd. Därefter vände han blad – och det är synd. För frågan om vem som ska efterträda honom och senare hans dotter är relevant. Men inte på det sätt som kungen diskuterar. Som Göran Ellung, producent för dokumentären, nyligen påpekade har Sverige bara varit en demokrati i cirka hundra år. Ur ett historiskt perspektiv är det inte särskilt länge och monarkin är en rest av ett annat styrelseskick. Därför vore det märkligt om den överlever (Agenda 10/9). Det betyder inte att vägen framåt är en revolution. I stället bör kungen, sin vana trogen, följa i fädernas fotspår och medverka till en modernisering av statsskicket. Här kan framför allt hans farfar, Gustaf VI Adolf, fungera som förebild. När den svenska regeringen i mitten av 1900-talet tillsatte en grundlagsutredning för att se över möjligheterna att införa republik undertecknade gamle kungen förslaget i egenskap av ordförande för konseljen. Enligt populärhistorikern Herman Lindqvist är det nog enda gången i Europas historia som en kung har signerat ett republikdokument och han kallar förfarandet ”The Swedish way”. Numera är normen inte nödvändigtvis att göra som brittiska drottning Elizabeth och dö på sin post, varpå tronföljaren tar på sig kronan som pensionär. Resultatet blev Torekovskompromissen, som slog fast att kungahuset skulle vara kvar men bara som symbol. Förändringen skulle dock ske efter Gustaf VI Adolfs bortgång, så Carl XVI Gustaf fick inleda sin regenttid med att skriva under den nya regeringsformen som avskaffade hans kungamakt. Nu är det dags för någonting liknande igen – och reformen bör ske i två steg. Först genom att kungen, efter ett halvt sekel på tronen, lämnar över till Victoria, vilket inte är någonting anmärkningsvärt. Numera är normen inte nödvändigtvis att göra som brittiska drottning Elizabeth och dö på sin post, varpå tronföljaren tar på sig kronan som pensionär. I Belgien, Holland och Spanien har monarkerna lämnat över till nästa generation i förtid och svenska folket vill se samma sak här (DN/Ipsos 8/9). Önskemålet är knappast förvånande. Ingen offentlig person har fått lika höga popularitetssiffror i de nationella SOM-undersökningarna som Victoria. Och i Kantar Sifos mätning svarar 54 procent att de har störst förtroende för henne bland kungahusets medlemmar, medan kungen är tvåa på 10 procent, och övriga landar på 0 till 3. Det andra steget på den svenska vägen är att sakta men säkert förbereda för republik, vilket flera riksdagspartier är för utan att aktivt driva frågan. Precis som sist familjen Bernadottes inflytande begränsades bör justeringen ske i samband med ett tronskifte. I praktiken när Victoria avlider eller avgår av eventuella hälsoskäl. I dag visar många upp en påtaglig underdånighet när de intervjuar eller bara är i närheten av kungaparet. Om beslutet fattas snart finns det gott om tid att ta fram förslag för hur Sveriges framtida statsskick ska utformas. Det handlar om vilken roll en folkvald president ska ha, hur makten ska fördelas och hur personen ska utses. Dessutom får Victorias barn redan i skolåldern tydlig information om att de inte behöver drillas i kungliga plikter, utan är fria att själva välja utbildning, yrke och väg i livet. Som en bonus kommer sannolikt samtalsklimatet kring statschefen att förbättras markant om det rinner rött i stället för blått blod i ådrorna. I dag visar många upp en påtaglig underdånighet när de intervjuar eller bara är i närheten av kungaparet, som till skillnad från andra förväntas bli tilltalade i tredje person, trots att du-reformen är äldre än kronprinsessan. Kvarlevan är symptomatisk för ett statsskick som inte går i takt med utvecklingen, och som kungen säger i dokumentären sker ständigt förändringar och därmed ändras hur samhället fungerar i en modern demokrati. I det läget innebär hans valspråk ”för Sverige – i tiden” att det är dags att nationen gör upp med det som brukar kallas för en demokratisk paradox. Den offentliga makten utgår från folket. Då fungerar det inte att statschefsämbetet avgörs av blodsband." De Fria är en folkrörelse som jobbar för demokrati genom en upplyst och medveten befolkning!

Krona, The Spectre, and The Anti-Monitor are all personifications of ultimate power in the DC Universe. Power to create and destroy, but ultimately just rendered characters on the printed page. But now in 2023 a new, and more powerful, "presence" has emerged in the real world that will shape the new DCU. Not powdered by solar energy, or wielding a magical emerald ring, but instead imbued with the cunning and savvy of an accomplished filmmaker, James Gunn prepares to be the hand that births a new cinematic universe of awe and wonder for DC fans the world over. Join your hosts James, Keith, and Joe as they candidly react to Mr. Gunn's planned reveal of his "Gods and Monsters" first wave of live-action and animated offerings. Will Superman fly higher on the big screen than ever before? Can the World's Greatest Detective protect Gotham, and rein in his lethal little offspring? Does The Swamp Thing reign supreme in the green? Is "the will" strong enough for the Lanterns to expose the darkness in the DCU to the light? And most importantly--does Booster Gold fubar all of Gunn's plans if he gets ahold of Rip Hunter's Time Sphere? It's an hour of speculation, tribulation, and an eye toward elation, regarding James Gunn's prodigious plans. Bring your imagination--your hopes and dreams for this new DCU--to this special edition of your favorite podcast. This is the stuff we live for fellow pop-culture fans!!
THIS EPISODE SEETHES WITH RAGE AS WE DISCUSS ATROCITUS! FEEL THE ANGER THROUGH YOUR SPEAKERS AND INTO YOUR HEART Intro Green Lantern watch party THIS SATURDAY NIGHT 8:30 PM Eastern Background (2:35) Atrocitus created by Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver in Green Lantern #25 (Dec 2007) The Manhunters were created by the Guardians of the Universe to protect the universe, but they went rogue and obliterated all life in Sector 666 - Atros was one of only five survivors in the entire sector He renamed himself Atrocitus, and he and the other four survivors called themselves the Five Inversions - they performed a ritual and discovered the prophecy of the Blackest Night, which foretold the destruction of the universe at the hands of the Guardians - after attempting to defeat the Guardians, he and the Inversions were imprisoned on Ysmault Abin Sur traveled there and began questioning Atrocitus about the prophecy - he freed Atrocitus from his prison to help guide Abin to Earth, but Atrocitus broke free and attacked Abin, retconning why Abin Sur's ship crashed to Earth He then created a divining rod that led him to William Hand, aka Black Hand, but before he could kill Hand, Sinestro & Hal Jordan intervened - Hand escaped with the rod (also a retcon), and Atrocitus was returned to his prison on Ysmault While in prison, his rage helped him create the red power battery, which he used to murder his fellow Inversions, creating rings and a central battery - he used these rings and batteries to create the Red Lantern Corps, who would assault Sinestro and anyone responsible for the destruction of Sector 666 During Blackest Night, the other corps leaders bring him to his home planet, and he has a moment of grief for the loss of his family - he temporarily allies with the other spectrum corps Made a deal with Guy and Ganthet that once Krona was defeated, Atrocitus would take possession to enact justice - although Krona was killed, Ganthet gave Atrocitus the corpse to do what he wanted with it Loses his ring to Guy Gardner, who joins the Red Lanterns as an undercover mole for Hal Jordan DC Rebirth - creates a Hell Tower on Earth to plant the Rage Seed that will birth a new Rage Entity - the tower is destroyed by Simon Baz & Jessica Cruz, but Dex-Starr managed to deliver the seed before the tower was destroyed Issues - Theme is the pain & rage cycle (9:36) Ruby - why would a psychologist go straight to rage? Ruby - Rage in dealing with loss (16:04) Really the only Red Lantern capable of thought - how does that affect his rage, and does it mean it's capable of being tamed? (23:11) Break (29:53) Plugs for Geek Peak, Bedknobs & Broomflicks, and Jordan Blum Treatment (31:11) In-universe - Attempt hemodialysis on Atrocitus Out of universe - Minus the powers, he's a very angry man raging at the world because of his loss (33:15) Skit (39:19) Hello Atros, I'm Dr - ATROCITUS AND YOU ARE NO DOCTOR *Gulp* Hello Atrocitus, I'm Dr - I SAID YOU ARE NO DOCTOR TO ME. I do not recognize your title, only the title of MASTER OF RAGE HOLDS ANY MEANING TO THOSE WHO SUBSCRIBE TO the power it provides. *pause* Um…I mean, I can't lie, man. I'm here as an…um…professional…to -YOU ARE WASTING TIME, Doctor Issues. *Rapid* I'm here to make sure you don't destroy all of existence because you are so powerful and mad and I don't want to offend you but I need to do my job so please just let me…Atrocitus…sir -I HATE WHINERS. WHINING is the provenance of those too incompetent to comprehend the veracity of the world and TOO WEAK TO COMPEL THE CHANGE REQUIRED to bring JUSTICE to those who would cause DESTRUCTION AND PAIN TO THE INNOCENT. *exasperated* OH COME ON! I'm doing my best here. Just tell me why you're so angry. -*seething* EEEEEEEVVVVVVVERRRRRYTHIIIIIIIING IS WRONG! Okay, but - DO NOT QUESTION ME, Doctor Issues. I HAVE SEEN THINGS your mere mortal brain IS INCAPABLE OF MAKING SENSE OF I want to make it right -YOU ARE TOO WEAK TO DO ANYTHING, Doctor Issues. Ouch, dude. I'm not against you -THEN WHO SENT YOU? The…um…if I tell you, you'll be…cross…er…like, more than now…or something -YOU CONSPIRE WITH MY ENEMIES! I have seen this coming, once I allowed my brain to acknowledge the TRUCE BETWEEN MY DESTINY AND REALITY You're projecting, which can get you in troub -DO NOT USE PSYCHOLOGICAL JARGON ON ME, Doctor Issues. But it's proper…oh man, this is much harder than usual…look, the way you come across, I usually try to offer something to help calm down. Can I do that? -WHAT? THERE IS NO CALM HERE. If you create an alliance with those aligned against me, Doctor Issues, THEN YOUR BLOOD WILL STAIN THE COSMOS FOR ETERNITY! I WILL SEND YOUR CORPSE TO A FAR AWAY STAR SYSTEM, and when they come to search for you, Doctor Issues, I will ASSAULT THE SHIP, rip open the cockpit doors, and DESTROY THE PILOTS WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. Some people…not necessarily you, but SOME OTHER people…might consider that a bit…paranoid? -I'M NOT PARANOID! I KNOW THAT OTHERS ARE AFTER ME BECAUSE I'VE GONE AFTER THEM FIRST. That doesn't sound healthy either. Your blood pressure must be through the roof. -MY DIASTOLIC GOES TO INFINITYYYYYYY But that's the lower numb…that's not poss…you're just…what? -DO NOT DOUBT THE POWER OF THE RED LANTERNS. WE HAVE FORSEEN THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR GALAXY AND IT TURNS CRIMSON WITH THE BLOOD OF YOUR DESCENDANTS. THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR YOU THIS TIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEE I…are you even listening to yourself? -MY EARS ARE OPEN AND MY EYES ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD. I hear the voices of THOSE WARRIORS who seek a connection with the ULTIMATE POWER. Alright, I will stop you right there. You may kill me for this but you are NOT MAKING SENSE. -*pause, surprising calm but still intense* This world, and everything you know about it is not ready for the final meeting of powers you can't understand. *back to full intensity* ONLY THE RED LANTERNS MAY BREATH THE AIR THAT SMELLS OF COMBAT, AND WASH AWAY THE DISGRACE OF THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE US. That sounds nightmarish -NIGHTMARES ARE THE BEST PART OF MY DAY! I…can't match your intensity, so I won't try. I have to admit, I feel lost in your presence. That's not a good sign. I may have to seek a consult from someone else -THERE IS NO ONE ELSE TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR SALVATION. I WILL GIVE YOU THE DIVINE BLESSING OF THE BLOOD PROPHECY *vomit sound* Ew…you puked on me?! Is this blood? YOU PUKED BLOOD ON ME? *psychedelic/ambient music* I…do you see it too? What is this? You're…you're a tortured soul. You've been through so much. I'm sorry. I wish you had known help is out there…it's always there. -THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISINTEGRATED INTO THE MADNESS OF ATROCITUS. IF YOU HAVE SURVIVED…*quieter* then your journey is not at an end…your mind will travel, to parts unknown. My vision fades…THERE ARE OTHERS…YOU DO NOT KNOW THEM…BUT THEY ARE…OF YOU…*surprisingly quiet* and they make me…tame. I'm understanding more now, but still confused, and you're still here -NO, THIS IS NOT MY DOING. MY COMPLACENCY WILL ONLY LEAD TO THE DESTRUC OF MORE WORLDS IF I DO NOT GATHER MY ARMY, AND RECONSTITUTE MY RAGE. THIS OFFICE IS A CAGE, AND I WILL NOT LET YOUR WEAPON CONTINUE TO WEAKEN ME. I don't have any weapons! -YOUR HEART…IT BEATS WITH THE FORBIDDEN LIGHT. YOU SAY NOTHING…*quiet, twinge of fear* but your presence speaks evvvvverything. Um…thanks? -YOU WILL NOT HOLD MEEEEEEEEE *RUNNING, CRASH THROUGH DOOR* *pause* Seriously What the hell was that?!!! I should be dead five times over…and he looked like he was scared of me? I've had a calming effect before, but this is ridiculous! *phone rings* Hello? Yeah, sorry! I forgot about this call! Thank you so much, I just had the most unique patient…well, I can't divulge who, but…how did you know that? Yeah, and the one before? You can help? Ok, we'll talk about equity tomorrow. If you can assist with these lanterns, I'd be so appreciative. And put a contingency in for door accommodations. Ok. Bye.

This week: Why sports podcasts are a slam dunk for podcast advertisers, our quarterly earnings roundup, how the buy-side of advertising defines ‘premium' content, how podcast advertisers are embracing Latino podcasting, and Netflix launches their ad-supported tier. Why sports podcasts could be a slam dunk for advertisers who know how to navigate the in-demand space Shreya: There's no denying the synergy of sports and advertisers during regular game seasons, but a new article from MarketingBrew's Alyssa Meyers highlights how podcasts can easily fill that gap the rest of the year. “The sports podcast genre is among the top five most popular in the US, according to Edison Research, and the percentage share of ad revenue for that category more than doubled from 2020 to 2021, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau.” Several of Meyers' sources stress that sports is one of the most in-demand podcast genres for ad buyers. Steven Abraham, president of the Oxford Road, said the agency's biggest clients are interested in the space due to its reach with an active and engaged audience. “A good sports-podcast media plan includes both, according to Abraham. Major shows that cover entire leagues or sports news in general can provide the benefit of reach, but fan-led shows that focus on specific teams tend to be more targeted and affordable, he said.” Regardless of a show's popularity, the CPM of a sports podcast has the benefit of flexibility even in the off season. Locked On Podcast Network CEO David Locke reports listenership spikes more during off-season times like trade deadlines than during important games during the normal season. Traditional media has spent decades refining their infrastructure around courting sports fans when players are on the court. Podcasting has the flexibility and staying power to capitalize on sports fandom's dedication for their favorite pastime and make sporting content a perennial avenue for advertisers. Podcasting Companies Post Q3 Earnings Manuela: It's time for what's becoming a quarterly event here on The Download: quarterly earnings reports are here! Most of what we're reporting on today has been released in the past week, but in the interest of gathering everyone together, we'll open with Spotify. As we covered back in October, Spotify shares dipped after their earnings call, in which CEO David Ek announced price increases coming in 2023. In good news for Big Green: they report 456 million monthly active users, up 20% year over year, 195 million of which are paying subscribers, representing a 13% year over year jump. iHeartMedia is up 7% year over year on revenue, with a Q3 total of $989 million. Their Digital Audio Group revenue hit a 23% year over year increase, with podcast revenue hitting $91 million dollars. On Wednesday Veritone posted their Q3 financial report. $37.2 million in revenue with 64% year over year growth. Audacy's financial report shows total revenue down 3.8% year on year. Their Digital revenue, including podcasting, made $62 million in the quarter. As Podnews James Cridland reports, this is up 2% year on year but 10% down quarter on quarter. Cridland also said: “The company is threatened with stock market delisting; stock hit a record low of $0.27 yesterday.” Acast's Q3 has been positive with revenue up 21%, amounting to $29.8 million USD when converted from Krona. In their significant events recap they list the Podchaser acquisition, the partnership with Wondery to translate and record successful podcasts in Italian, and their agreement with rep The New York Times and sell UK ad space on NYT podcasts. They also note Amazon functionally purchasing all ad space on Acast podcasts through the deal struck just after the reporting period so Amazon can run Acast shows ad-free for Amazon Music subscribers. How the buy-side of the ad industry is now defining ‘premium' content Shreya: On Wednesday Ronan Shields, writing for Digiday, published a piece covering how the buyer side of the market is defining premium ad content and the general mood of the industry in regards to the looming threat of recession. The piece quotes panels from multiple relevant conferences in New York City last week. “Just about everyone in the industry is bracing themselves for a recession with swinging cuts to advertisers' budgets expected, fellow panelists Jesse Fisher from Horizon Media and GroupM's Esra Bacher offered insights into how marketers would make budgeting decisions. They both pointed out how priorities will delineate depending on whether they are an emerging or mature brand.” Fischer predicts smaller brands will focus more on awareness campaigns instead of focusing on ROI. “But if you look at a more mature brand, you know that's really well positioned… they might shift spend into more measurable channels and types of activations because they really want to make sure that if they're spending a million dollars, they're able to see $1.1 million in ROI.” Programmatic Investment Lead at GroupM Esra Bacher suggests marketers and media agencies have evolved enough to withstand the brunt of an anticipated economic downturn better than the 2008 recession that lead to sweeping cuts. While DSPs and premium publishers are using tools like The Trade Desk's OpenPath to form direct relationships, media agencies are similarly getting together with supply-side platforms. An anonymous source at Brand Safety Week told Digiday: “It's not possible for us to talk to 10,000 publishers, but it is possible for us to talk to 50 SSPs. So, we might look to see how much we're spending with, say, 10-15 publishers via DSPs, and then look to see which SSPs have unique supply, unique data… and transparency on things like show-level data…” Podcast listening by US Latinos is on the rise. Are ad dollars following suit? Manuela: Back in August the third annual Latino Podcast Listener Report from Edison Research was published, as dedicated listeners might remember from our coverage. The report delivered promising news, including the statistic that 59% of US Latino adults have listened to a podcast at least once. This past Wednesday Alyssa Meyers, writing for MarketingBrew, covered both the highlights of the report and how the podcasting industry is adjusting to the rise in Latino audiences. Latina Podcasters Network and Latino Pods CEO Rita Bautista says their stable of 40+ podcasts broke six figures in ad revenue so far in 2022, working with brands like Ulta Beauty, Pfizer, and Gold Peak. The network does not run prerecorded ads, preferring host-read copy to ensure authenticity. “There's absolutely a lot of interest in the Hispanic opportunity by many advertisers,” said Jesus Lara, president of Univision Radio, including its Uforia Audio Network. “There's other advertisers that will need a little more education.” Lara stressed that authenticity has to be paramount when building ad creative. Ad Results Media VP of media operations and analytics Lisa Jacobs says she advises brands to only write copy in another language if they have someone fluent around to work on the translation. Jacobs told MarketingBrew this might seem self-explanatory, but there have been situations in the past where someone used Google Translate to try and convert copy to another language. Bautista says she's seeing brands follow the advice of people like Jacobs, though there is room to grow. “The needle is moving. It's not moving as quickly as it needs to be, but…I do commend these companies that we've been working with for trying their best, and making sure that they are working on these efforts, and asking for feedback, and looking towards the right types of networks to advertise with in order to get this right.” Brands advertising on Netflix include Louis Vuitton, Subway, and Duracell Shreya: Previously we've covered Netflix's moves into making its cheapest tier an ad-supported one. Last week the platform officially launched the tier, charging $6.99 for ‘Basic with Ads' in the US, as well as eight other countries. MarketingBrew's Kelsey Sutton reports the ad loads are capped at four to five minutes of advertising per hour and the formats are pre-roll and mid-roll. Sutton and others from MarketingBrew used accounts on the new tier to catch the new advertisement breaks in action. “Brands we spotted while watching Gilmore Girls and Ozark included everything from luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Bulgari to tech brands like Beats by Dre and Google. Apartments.com, Best Western, Booking.com, Cadillac, CeraVe, Duracell, Michelob Ultra, and Subway were also spotted in the mix. Sutton reports the exercise found an average of three ad breaks per episode amounting to around 60 seconds total of midroll plus the preroll that ran before the episode began. “It remains to be seen how many of Netflix's ~223 million global subscribers will opt to watch with ads. In a poll last month, most Marketing Brew readers said they'd keep their existing ad-free subscriptions, but 14% each said they'd either sign up for Netflix on its ad-supported tier for the first time or switch their existing ad-free subscription to the ad-supported tier.” The new service isn't quite plug-and-play just yet, as Netflix has to renegotiate licensing agreements with studios before it can run advertisements on their properties. They also appear to still be working on implementing the measurement tools produced by their partnership with DoubleVerify, Integral Ad Science, and Nielsen. While Sutton mentions some advertisers are waiting in the wings to gauge the public's reaction to the new tier, it's clear plenty of big-name advertisers are interested in buying ad space on premium content. Netflix's CPM for their new ad slots has been reported between $60 and $80. It's exciting to see both the interest and the price holding in a buyer's market. Now to see if Netflix can deliver long-term. For now we can only watch, both literally and figuratively. Quick Hits Shreya: Finally, it's time for our semi-regular roundup of articles we're calling Quick Hits. These are articles that didn't quite make the cut for today's episode, but are still worth including in your weekend reading. This week: The holiday campaigns have begun- here's what we're seeing so far by Katie Hicks for MarketingBrew. A breezy breakdown of what tact major brands are taking with their holiday season campaigns this year, with trends developing around addressing inflation and families celebrating together. These Are the Salaries Warner, Amazon and Sony Offer For Audio Jobs by Ashley Carman for Bloomberg. Last week's issue of Carman's newsletter Soundbite features a look at salaries for a variety of companies working in audio now that New York City has passed a new law requiring good faith salary ranges on open positions.

They both pointed out how priorities will delineate depending on whether they are an emerging or mature brand.” Fischer predicts smaller brands will focus more on awareness campaigns instead of focusing on ROI. “But if you look at a more mature brand, you know that's really well positioned… they might shift spend into more measurable channels and types of activations because they really want to make sure that if they're spending a million dollars, they're able to see $1.1 million in ROI.” Programmatic Investment Lead at GroupM Esra Bacher suggests marketers and media agencies have evolved enough to withstand the brunt of an anticipated economic downturn better than the 2008 recession that lead to sweeping cuts. While DSPs and premium publishers are using tools like The Trade Desk's OpenPath to form direct relationships, media agencies are similarly getting together with supply-side platforms. An anonymous source at Brand Safety Week told Digiday: “It's not possible for us to talk to 10,000 publishers, but it is possible for us to talk to 50 SSPs. So, we might look to see how much we're spending with, say, 10-15 publishers via DSPs, and then look to see which SSPs have unique supply, unique data… and transparency on things like show-level data…” Podcast listening by US Latinos is on the rise. Are ad dollars following suit? Manuela: Back in August the third annual Latino Podcast Listener Report from Edison Research was published, as dedicated listeners might remember from our coverage. The report delivered promising news, including the statistic that 59% of US Latino adults have listened to a podcast at least once. This past Wednesday Alyssa Meyers, writing for MarketingBrew, covered both the highlights of the report and how the podcasting industry is adjusting to the rise in Latino audiences. Latina Podcasters Network and Latino Pods CEO Rita Bautista says their stable of 40+ podcasts broke six figures in ad revenue so far in 2022, working with brands like Ulta Beauty, Pfizer, and Gold Peak. The network does not run prerecorded ads, preferring host-read copy to ensure authenticity. “There's absolutely a lot of interest in the Hispanic opportunity by many advertisers,” said Jesus Lara, president of Univision Radio, including its Uforia Audio Network. “There's other advertisers that will need a little more education.” Lara stressed that authenticity has to be paramount when building ad creative. Ad Results Media VP of media operations and analytics Lisa Jacobs says she advises brands to only write copy in another language if they have someone fluent around to work on the translation. Jacobs told MarketingBrew this might seem self-explanatory, but there have been situations in the past where someone used Google Translate to try and convert copy to another language. Bautista says she's seeing brands follow the advice of people like Jacobs, though there is room to grow. “The needle is moving. It's not moving as quickly as it needs to be, but…I do commend these companies that we've been working with for trying their best, and making sure that they are working on these efforts, and asking for feedback, and looking towards the right types of networks to advertise with in order to get this right.” Brands advertising on Netflix include Louis Vuitton, Subway, and Duracell Shreya: Previously we've covered Netflix's moves into making its cheapest tier an ad-supported one. Last week the platform officially launched the tier, charging $6.99 for ‘Basic with Ads' in the US, as well as eight other countries. MarketingBrew's Kelsey Sutton reports the ad loads are capped at four to five minutes of advertising per hour and the formats are pre-roll and mid-roll. Sutton and others from MarketingBrew used accounts on the new tier to catch the new advertisement breaks in action. “Brands we spotted while watching Gilmore Girls and Ozark included everything from luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Bulgari to tech brands like Beats by Dre and Google. Apartments.com, Best Western, Booking.com, Cadillac, CeraVe, Duracell, Michelob Ultra, and Subway were also spotted in the mix. Sutton reports the exercise found an average of three ad breaks per episode amounting to around 60 seconds total of midroll plus the preroll that ran before the episode began. “It remains to be seen how many of Netflix's ~223 million global subscribers will opt to watch with ads. In a poll last month, most Marketing Brew readers said they'd keep their existing ad-free subscriptions, but 14% each said they'd either sign up for Netflix on its ad-supported tier for the first time or switch their existing ad-free subscription to the ad-supported tier.” The new service isn't quite plug-and-play just yet, as Netflix has to renegotiate licensing agreements with studios before it can run advertisements on their properties. They also appear to still be working on implementing the measurement tools produced by their partnership with DoubleVerify, Integral Ad Science, and Nielsen. While Sutton mentions some advertisers are waiting in the wings to gauge the public's reaction to the new tier, it's clear plenty of big-name advertisers are interested in buying ad space on premium content. Netflix's CPM for their new ad slots has been reported between $60 and $80. It's exciting to see both the interest and the price holding in a buyer's market. Now to see if Netflix can deliver long-term. For now we can only watch, both literally and figuratively.
