Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade. Today's episode of the Unmade podcast features the third stop on our Compass tour, when we rolled into Sydney.

Peter Horgan chairs the Media Federation and is the outgoing CEO of Omnicom Media Group. Lou Barrett leads sales at News Corp Australia. Jasmin Bedir is CEO of creative agency Innocean and founder of gender equality initiative Fck the CupcakesAn early topic was the price of not doing distinctive work.According to Smart: “I think the really brave marketers are the ones who create boring things. That's super brave.”Later in the conversation, he expanded on the point: “The bravest markers are the ones doing boring, invisible marketing.” Of the Telstra work, Smart said: I don't think it's brave, I think I'm commercially smart. I do it to drive a commercial result. I don't do it for vanity or to win awards. I do it because it's more commercially effective to be creative.”Meanwhile Horgan flagged the challenge of procurement departments driving down agency remuneration. He told the room that his challenge of the year was : “Pushing back on weaponised procurement, which means we don't need humans any more in the communications ecosystem, trying to push back on that reductive narrative.”He added: “Two years ago the revenue was easy… and the humans were hard. This year, humans aren't easy, but the revenue is bloody hard.”Smart argued that it is in brands' best interests to avoid simply chasing the lowest cost with agencies.. “Screwing down your partners is not how you get discretionary effort from your partners. A lot of clients forget we can pay an agency a fee, but the bit you can't buy is their passion and how much they care, and that's a good commercial decision.”For Bedir, a theme of the year was the rise of generative AI. “I am deeply concerned about gen AI. What I hear from clients is there's a lack of governance in most organisations. There's so many suppliers trying to peddle you stuff that magically makes your problems go away. That's the latest gold rush.”Accountants on the marchAnd Barrett warned of a media landscape dominated by CEOs who had come up through finance. Recent months have seen Seven West Media, Nine and Southern Cross Austereo all put their chief financial officers in the top chair Asked to nominate a challenge for the industry, Barrett said: “The rise and rise of the CFO. With so many CFOs running media companies now, I worry we're going to end up with a lack of creativity.”Bedir also warned that the industry is struggling to find diverse new talent: “I'm concerned about the pathway of getting people in to the industry. If you've got the same group of people we end up with the same outputs.”And Horgan also flagged as a problem for the industry, the issue of brands investing less in understanding their media investments, He said: “Transparency is a double edged word, which needs to be owned on the client side as well."It's not the focus that was. There's a bell curve of clients out there who have ten person team, haven't been able to sell expertise they need to board and are not able to sell the expertise to the board. You do the maths. If there are dodgy agencies out there, those two probably deserve each other.And Barrett added as an issue: “Over reliance on social and platforms. These guys are not paying taxes in Australia. They are not paying for content.” She added: “I'm not talking about Google, I'm talking about Meta.”Smart also acknowledged that he had learned a new lesson this year, having not previously given enough priority to influencing the staff of the brands where he has worked. He said: “Something that is often overlooked by marketers is, make your staff proud to work for the brand. That has an incredible impact on how they show up. I wouldn't have thought as much about that in the past. But I've seen some incredible impact.”Unmade Index rises as SEN tells the M&A market: Deal us inThe Unmade Index nudged upwards for a second day on Wednesday, while SEN Radio's owner Sports Entertainment Group used its AGM to signal that it wants to be a player in media deal making.SEG's chairman Craig Coleman told shareholders that the company has been tidying up its balance sheet including selling Perth Wildcats and its New Zealand station SENZ. SEN has reduced its net debt to $13.3m and delivered an EBITDA profit of $9.6m in the last financial year.Coleman told investors: “We are now well positioned to be an active participant in beneficial media consolidation moves.”However, although SEN said it was on track to improve its profitability in this financial half, it said the radio market remains tough. “Our media division is seeing a tightening in the economy with businesses feeling the impacts of a lingering slowdown which is not isolated to any particular industry.”SEG is the smallest of the ASX-listed audio players with a market cap of $64m, compared to ARN's $225m and Southern Cross Austereo's $130m.SEN's share price did not move after the update yesterday, after seeing a drop of 8% the day before.The Unmade Index closed 0.41% down on 451.6 points.Time to leave you to your Thursday.Today's podcast was edited by Abe's Audio.

Along with partners Stuart Gregor and Cameron Mackenzie, he made the decision to create a luxury gin brand, and then executed it brilliantly.Lessons From Gin: Business the Four Pillars Way tells the story of how they did it, and offers a series of insights that anybody building a brand could borrow from. The book breaks the story into four stages - thinking, crafting, sharing and growing.In today's Unmade podcast, Jones shares with Unmade's Tim Burrowes some of the lessons applied, and learned, along the way.He makes the case that many business are underpowered in having marketing brains at the top. Like Jones, Gregor came from the communications world as owner of the PR agency Liquid Ideas. Mackenzie was the only working directly in the production of alcohol.Says Jones: “We were far heavier in terms of creative industries, creative mindset, brand mindset, marketing mindset than 99% of leadership groups out there in the world.“My perspective on the whole is that businesses are underweight when it comes to those voices around the leadership table. And I think that is something that we absolutely benefited from, that we valued these things that we might call brand leadership. We valued them at the heart of the business, not just the marketing strategy.”Lessons from Gin will be published by Wiley on October 30 and is available on presale. On October 31 Jones will deliver the keynote at Unmade's Unlock conference in Sydney where he will discuss the role of telling stories in building brands. Tickets are on sale now, or complimentary to Unmade's paying members.SCA moves back past VinylTim Burrowes writes:The old order reasserted itself on the Unmade index yesterday with Southern Cross Austereo moving back past Vinyl Group.SCA lost 1.1% to land on a market capitalisation of $111.5m, But Vinyl Group lost 4.4% to land on $111.1m.Most acitvity on the Unmade Index was negative yesterday with Domain losing 1.3% and parent company Nine dropping 0.8%.Seven West Media bucked the trend, growing by 3%The Unmade Index fell 0.67% to land on 454.1 points.Today's podcast was edited by Abe's Audio.I'm about to hop onto a flight to Sydney to cover tonight's Foxtel Upfront event.

Before joining Glanbia, you spent a number of years working on the agency side. How do you think it helped prepare you for your work at Glanbia? Did it shape how you engage with the agencies that you work with today?2. Let's start to decompose retail media into a number of different capabilities, starting with search. Is search still the most important part of a brand's retail media strategy?3. It seems like every week, a new retail media platform is launched. How can brands hope to manage investments across so many platforms or are some changes that need to take place around consolidation or integration that allows for more automation before brands can think beyond Amazon & Walmart?4. RMNs are increasingly promoting upper funnel ad units like offsite programmatic and streaming TV. Are these services currently appealing to brands for investment? What's keeping these offerings from fully replacing traditional channels like linear TV and print?5. What are your guiding principles around partnering with both brand and customer teams in establishing retail media plans? 6. In-store retail media is another set of ad units that are quickly emerging on the retail media landscape. How do you think about employing these tools from a brand perspective? Is this more of a trade function or should brands be thinking about how to deploy for full funnel strategic activation?7. How are you using AMC today?

In today's Shopify Ecommerce Podcast, my guest is Pavel Petrinich the Co-Founder and CRO of SegmentStream.SegmentStream is a Conversion Modelling Platform that helps e-commerce & D2C brands drive more sales by providing them with real-time marketing attribution insights. Marketers rely on attribution data to make informed budget allocation decisions, while ad platforms like Google and Facebook Ads use this information to optimize their auto-bidding and targeting algorithms. However, current analytics tools can no longer provide accurate and timely attribution insights due to modern cookie restrictions and complex customer journeys that involve multiple browsers and devices. SegmentStream stands out from other tools by utilizing its proprietary Conversion Modeling technology to accurately measure the incremental value of each website visit into future, predicted conversions, rather than past conversions. This ensures that each traffic source receives the proper value, even if the actual conversion occurs from another device, browser, or cookie. By evaluating website visits in real-time, marketing teams can identify growth opportunities, and ad platforms receive crucial real-time feedback on the incremental value of each ad click. SegmentStream is an official partner of Meta and Google, as well as trusted by L'Oreal, KitchenAid, Omnicom Media Group, and more than 50 other e-commerce brands and agencies.Building a successful Shopify business requires not only hard work and dedication, but also access to the right information and tooling. It's my hope today's podcast is impactful in assisting you in your Shopify store with implementing high-converting pages to maximize your revenue.Take advantage of the information and resources presented in today's ecommerce podcast.

In this week's podcast, our CEO Leila McKenzie-Delis has a conversation with Serhat Ekinci, Managing Director of Unite, Omnicom Media Group.Here's what they discuss:
Welcome to the Cannes Lions, which is meeting in-person for the first time since 2019. This week is going to be equal parts exhausting and exhilirating. Although the Lions celebrate all of advertising, the media agency world has taken more of a center-stage position in recent years. "Rather than just talking about servicing our clients and understanding our clients' business, what we're really doing more about and talking more about now is how we can help them in their journey of transformation, and I think that has been the thing that I've really seen the language shift over the years," said Brown, a 15-year veteran of Omnicom. Brown addressed the realities of dealing with scope creep from clients, citing the need to be straightforward and honest when having those discussions. "We need to be paid fairly ... More and more clients today realize they're asking a lot of us, and realize that we're not a charity -- that we do need to pay our people fairly and also have a return for our shareholders like they have to have a return for their shareholders." Brown has had to adjust to a new boss in Florian Adamski, who took over less than a year ago from Daryl Simm as global CEO of Omnicom Media Group. Flo, as he's known in the company, "is very much in the detail .. and very much a roll-up-sleeves executive, which I appreciate," said Brown. "He's also incredibly future facing, which again is really important, and sets a very clear vision for us moving forward." The digital industry's focus on performance marketing that comes so easily with a lot of newer innovations can be a dangerous path to go down if one overlooks the importance of brand, Brown explained. "A couple of the watch-outs are that you move too far into performance marketing and you forget about the brand, the strength of the brand," she said. "And that's what you'll see coming through in Cannes, I hope. The brand hasn't gone anywhere -- it still needs to have great ideas behind it, [and] it needs to capture the imagination of consumers and cut through. Sometimes I do worry that over the years we've gone too lower-funnel, performance, and we've forgotten about the brand." What does she hope to get out of Cannes Lions most of all? Connecting with people in-person again. "The number one thing for me is to see people," Brown explained. "There are some clients who are going to be there that I've only seen ever on a screen because they started their jobs during the pandemic ... so for me, that's one of the most exciting parts of the festival." Check out other upcoming podcasts from Cannes with agency leaders and analysts this week.

On this week's episode of TheMadTech Podcast, Laura Collins, Digital Performance Director at Omnicom Media Group, joins ExchangeWire's John Still and Rachel Smith to discuss Zapp's launch of an advertising platform, Quartz's decision to drop their paywall, and publishers' determination to safeguard their data.
The price of television advertising is spiking rapidly and has big implications for the value of sport and the market for sponsorship, whether you're buying or selling. More broadly, the events of the past two years have led to significant disruption to the advertising landscape. People's media habits changed considerably as their physical location was altered and advertisers were driven to adopt new investment strategies as audiences changed and physical channels were limited. Consumers sought more online distribution and product access through e-commerce and the overarching theme through this period has been acceleration: Netflix took five years to reach 10 million households and Disney+ will get there in three. E-commerce saw five years worth of organic growth in just 12 months.To help us navigate through this complicated picture are today's guests Alex Charkham and Bhavin Balvantrai. Alex is Chief Strategy Officer at Fuse, Omnicom's sport and entertainment agency. Bhav is Chief Market Analyst at Omnicom Media Group and board director of BARB, the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board.If you're interested in sports business analysis and comment, follow @UnffclPrtnr on Twitter and sign up to the popular industry newsletter that goes to thousands of subscribers every Thursday.
A British native and American transplant, Danvers Simmons is the host of the inter-generational podcast, Mothers & Daughters Unfiltered. After an accomplished career as a Senior Vice President at Saatchi & Saatchi advertising and then Omnicom Media Group in London, New York, and L.A., Danvers Simmons founded the woman's empowerment initiative Own it Feel it Live it® — a simple tool to help women connect and balance mind, body, and spirit for total wellbeing.Diane Danvers Simmons was 16 years old when her 60-year-old mother walked out on her and her father and moved in next door with three hot college guys. It inspired her memoir, My Mother Next Door.“Each one of us has a story, which begins with our mother, and everyone's story has parts that are messy, painful, unexpected, beautiful, and comical,” says Danvers Simmons. “My mum was a headstrong, independent woman who was dying in her suburban life just as the feminist movement began during the revolutionary 1970s, and she was leading the way. I was growing up in a time of opposites, dark and light, pessimism and optimism, war and peace, and surviving with the help of my friends. Through this journey, I not only placed my fifty-something self into my sixteen-year-old self, but I also saw it all through a new lens, as the mother of my own blended American family: a teenage daughter and son from my own womb, and an older stepdaughter and son, courtesy of my husband's first wife's womb.”Connect with Diane:Official Site | Facebook | Instagram | Instagram | TwitterConnect with Ashley:Connect With Me MoreShow Sponsors:Shop My Store | Earth Breeze | My Favorite Bible--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ashley-henriott/support

On the second episode of the Contextual Advertising 101 podcast, we discuss the death of third-party cookies in marketing with Richard Kanolik, Head of Programmatic at Vodafone. Richard first began his career in digital advertising, working at the7stars agency for four years. He later moved to Omnicom Media Group before leaving the agency world to go client-side. In November 2019, Richard joined Vodafone to head the programmatic function for the UK.

Richard discusses the alternative options to using cookies and what Vodafone is looking at in replacing the cookie. We also learn about the impact Covid-19 has had on Vodafone as a company.

Tough week here at the podcast, as our Acronym Interpreter is on vacation, but the good news is that we're joined by Ben Hovaness, Scott Van Pelt of Marketplace Intelligence at Oh My God, for a thrilling discussion on the lack of transparency in the auction dynamics of most digital media. You don't actually know what's happening in between your bid and the outcome, win or loss. You don't! Not even on Google Search, but especially not everywhere else! The good news is Ben has some great thoughts on how to determine how much you should worry about this, and what could be done if you would indeed like to be a Carelord about it. It is, briefly...time for some game theory. We also get the lowdown on the Council on Accountable Social Advertising, or CASA, which is pronounced like NASA, as Ben is very particular about his acronyms and despises when they're unpronounceable. We almost named this episode "CASA Bonita!" or "CASA De Subastas" to try and make a bunch of people learn it wrong and infuriate Ben, but he's too nice for that kind of treatment. This is no guarantee we wouldn't sabotage future guests in a similar manner. CASA are bringing controls that mirror those deployed in more traditional paid media formats, to six major social media platforms. Ben elaborates on the how, the why, and what CASA does and does not dictate, as it aims to be an open and available framework for brands to use as they please, rather than a deliverer of fire and brimstone sermons. We wonder who gets to say what is and isn't brand safe, and in a shocking show of support for the plight of Floridians, Ben says he feels genuine sorrow and sympathy for anyone being forced to wrestle Jell-O. The shortage of fine rubies and Manhattan penthouses being more explicable than the shortage of TV GRPs in the scatter market comes up. "How many nines are you willing to pay for" is a great question, it turns out. Everyone dares Lee to start a lifestyle brand. The gang asks Randy what it was like being strapped to five different rockets (ad platforms) and shot into space (managing said five ad platforms alone). Everyone agrees, albeit for different reasons, "Added Value" is due for a reckoning. Ed. Note: Ben Hovaness is actually the Senior Vice President of Marketplace Intelligence at Omnicom Media Group, Lee is an idiot if he's actually been paying an Acronym Interpreter this whole time, especially as the Podcast Central Planning Committee gave him no budget for this. He is also neither bilingual, nor allowed to unilaterally name the episodes specifically to antagonize our wonderful guests.
