Navigating the chaos of the advertising world can be daunting (for advertisers AND journalists!), but Jason Brown, Chief Revenue Officer of SpectrumReach, helped simplify our wild industry in this Epi 32 of Insider Interviews – just like he and his team do for their 20,000+ advertisers nationwide. From big-picture strategy to the nitty-gritty of local targeting, Jason shared how the sales arm of Charter Communications delivers on its mission to simplify and supercharge advertising success. How does Spectrum Reach make it all work? Well, think premium inventory, measurable outcomes, and advanced targeting.  Plus a new partnership with Amazon Ads that lets them do all of the above on an even bigger scale.  As Jason put it: "We harness the chaos of bringing in all these different types of inventory into one cohesive buy from end to end." (And the same attitude prevails company-wide, thanks to, for example, their investment in Xumo to help subscribers harness the content discovery maze!) Speaking of helping: Jason explained the Spectrum Reach approach to educating and supporting small businesses -- a lifeblood of local advertising, via a program called 'Pay it Forward' and their Spectrum Ad Academy. That is familiar territory to Jason, though, grew up with a father who went from film producer to community activist and shaped Jason's perspective on “doing well by doing good.” 'We want local communities to win. We want new businesses to win, and we're going to invest in them.' Plus, his sales and his leadership style is dependent on fostering strong relationships across their 181 sales offices. (It reminded me of the humanistic management approach taken by another of my previous guests, Jarl Mohn, who criss-crossed the country visiting NPR's sales offices, too!) Jason takes pride in how Spectrum News creates loyal communities, which is vital in this media landscape. Of course, we couldn't talk about advertising without geeking out over the power of local news (a favorite topic of mine – just ask Lou Paskalis, who makes his second Insider Interviews appearance on an upcoming episode).  This episode is packed with insights on everything from simplifying ad buying to building relationships that drive real impact. And if you love a good story, Jason's got some personal anecdotes that'll make you smile and maybe even inspire you to think differently about leadership. So, tune in! Whether you're an advertiser, media exec, or just curious about the magic behind the screens, you'll walk away with actionable takeaways and maybe a new appreciation for how “harnessing chaos” can lead to success. Key Highlights: 00:46 The Professional Journey of Jason Brown – from Out of Home to In Home Screens 02:01 The Spectrum Reach Structure and Mission 03:42 Winning Advertising Strategies and Local at Scale 05:06 Innovations and the Amazon Ads Partnership 08:20 Measurement and Data Accuracy 14:05 Supporting Small Businesses 24:40 Corporate Social Responsibility 26:24 Growing as a Leader and a Father's Influence 30:42 Favorite Shows (and a Xumo Rationale!)

Easily winning on Election Day, Donald Trump will be returning to the White House as the nation's 47th president.

Down-ballot, however, New York Democrats won some key congressional House races, as they will retake some of the seats they lost in the midterm elections in 2022.

This week's episode of the SEANC View Podcast focuses primarily on the State Treasurer's race, which is one of the most important to state employees and retirees. SEANC sponsored a debate between the candidates seeking to replace Dale Folwell — Brad Briner and EMPAC-endorsed Rep. Wesley Harris — in conjunction with the Institute of Political Leadership, which aired on Sunday on Spectrum News. In the debate, Briner, a personal investment manager, repeated a false claim that the pension system costs 16% of the overall state budget, which is more than three times what it actually costs. Executive Director Ardis Watkins points out in this episode that this inaccuracy makes it seem like our retirees are a huge burden to the state, which is untrue. Briner even said the pension system is "crowding out so many other priorities of the state." We also discuss the ongoing Hurricane Helene relief and recovery effort, highlighting the amazing work of state employees and our favorite fall traditions.

He also talks about why he went to college at Bowling Green, joining Spectrum back in 2011, doing both sports and news reporting and stepping up following the recent departures of Jon Scott and Rachel Hopmayer. Of course they talk about the Bills and Andy highlights some of the things he's seen that he's liked most--and least about the team as they near the start of the regular season. He also has thoughts on what he'd like to see from Buffalo with their final preseason game coming Saturday at home against Carolina and how some of the final roster battles may play out. They also talk about late summer weather, a "Fun Fact Finale" with Andy and tons more. Make sure to follow Andy on Twitter X @AndyYoungTV, check out the Buffalo End Zone podcast and the great work he's doing over at Spectrum News.
