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!)

We've heard “doing good” can be good for business. But Chad Hickey, CEO of Givsly, is helping brands do more than “good,” but to align their values with consumers to drive growth and meaningful impact. And in just six years his company has directed over $2 million to nearly 500 nonprofits and likely made 8 out of 10 consumers happier! On this last 2024 episode of Insider Interviews, I couldn't think of a better way to give back to YOU, my valued readers, listeners and watchers, than to have Chad share how Givsly helps companies weave their corporate values into traditional business activities—like events, marketing, and advertising -- and thrive. Because, he emphasizes, “8 out of 10 consumers say, 'I will buy from a brand based on if they support me or shares the same values as me'.  ...If brands aren't paying attention to that, they're losing out on business.” I'm one of the 8: I met Chad during a 212NYC holiday party that added a Givsly style “giving back” layer — assembling comfort bags earmarked for the formerly incarcerated. It made my evening — and upped my appreciation for the organization, so I begged Chad to tell me more. So, listen to all his actionable insights, but here's the topline: Rethinking Events: Making Connections With Meaning We've all done the industry happy hours with similar players and same conversations but Givsly will incorporate some way of giving back. “We can merge the traditional world of dinners and concerts with what I think is a more advanced way of speaking to people based on who they are as a person and what they value as a human being, connecting in a deeper way as humans and not just businesspeople." Marketing With Impact: Why Swag Is Out The antidote to of a cabinet full of branded water bottles? Givsly's “Season Without Swag” initiative, which allows brands to offer donations aligned with a client's favorite causes. As Chad put it: “It's not just better for the planet —it's a better way to use those dollars more efficiently, build relationships, and move people through the marketing funnel faster.”  Advertising That Performs—With Values What about ads? Givsly brings values into advertising with interactive campaigns that let consumers engage while triggering donations to nonprofits. For example, a consumer might scan a QR code on a CTV ad and choose between two charities to support, providing valuable insights for brands. And there are many things to support. A la my previous episode in Season 1 with Sustainable Brands founder, KoAnn, who eschews "CSR" and speaks instead about "business opportunity" when tapping into values, Chad saya: "We don't say 'purpose' and 'cause marketing' and all of those things. It's because it's too narrow. It's bigger than that. Values are something that is in everything that a brands does.   Chad emphasized the effectiveness of this approach: "We firmly believe that we are on the tipping point of the phase of Values Media...and brands having to have value solutions that help them speak to that consumer based on not only what they want to buy, but what they care about is who they are." Beyond Politics: Values That Resonate With Everyone Not every value-based campaign has to be political, or polarizing, Chad reminded me. “Whether it's sustainability or supporting cancer research, we help brands showcase what they care about in ways that connect to their customers—and their business goals”​ The key, he says, is focusing on authenticity. “Values are embedded in everything brands do. It's not about February is Black History Month or a one-time initiative—it's about integrating these values year-round.”​ May your upcoming year be filled with value, health, and a meeting of the minds. Coming in January? Conversations with Spectrum Reach, Lou Paskalis and more! Key Moments: 02:50 - Transforming Events Into Value-Driven Experiences 06:10 - Replacing Swag With Sustainability

Dominick Latorre is the Senior Director of Yield and Inventory Management at Sinclair Broadcast Group. He used to be the Manager of Pricing and Planning at Spectrum Reach, and he's the Assistant General Manager of the Men's National Team in USA Ball Hockey. In this episode, Dominick explains how they price slots for broadcast advertisements as he relates it to how airlines do pricing for their seats.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn how Sinclair does pricing for perishable inventory like ads Understand how it's related to how airlines price their seats Find out why it's important that your sales people know how to make sure that your service is priced effectively   “It's educating yourself on different industries outside of yours and how you can take those concepts and those ideas and apply them to your business. – Dominick Latorre   Topics Covered: 02:01 – How Dominick got into pricing 04:12 – Sinclair's goal to improve efficiencies with the local pricing experts and revenue with pricing 06:41 – “It is not what I wanted. It's not what I wanted to buy.” 09:25 – Relating and comparing how Sinclair does pricing to how airlines price their seats 14:46 – The factors that affect how Sinclair price the programs 18:38 – Pricing for political campaigns 23:01 – Pricing table topics: “Create real value with differentiation. Create perceived value with marketing.” 25:36 – Dominick's pricing advice   Key Takeaways: “I'm very happy with the choice I made back in 2007-ish to get into pricing, because as obviously as you know, it's the biggest driver of profit if you're priced correctly, so much more than sales volume or anything else.” – Dominick Latorre “With the various choices for marketing dollars these days, you can't be upsetting clients and pulling multi-million-dollar deals because we weren't priced effectively and given them a rate that from day one it should have been a premium program; obviously, the demand is there. We should be charging it based upon that.” – Dominick Latorre “You can drive more revenue by lowering your rates, and we've seen that in some cases.” – Dominick Latorre “We talk to our sellers all the time. Sell the value of the program. Don't combine it with other solutions. Don't sell a customer what we call a 9A4P rotator, where basically that customer spot could fall anywhere between that time period. That's not selling value. Look at the value of our solutions and price accordingly to them.” – Dominick Latorre “With so many marketing solutions out there and dollars to be spent, you have to make sure that you're priced effectively. And again, talking about value, making sure that the buyers see the value in your solution.” – Dominick Latorre   People / Resources Mentioned: Sinclair Broadcast Group: https://sbgi.net/ Professional Pricing Society: https://www.pricingsociety.com/   Connect with Dominick Latorre: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominicklatorre/ Email: dmlatorre@sbgtv.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mailto:mark@impactpricing.com

On this episode of Searching For San Antonio, we invite Raul Jimenez III to speak with us about the amazing annual event his grandfather began back in 1979 - The Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner. During this holiday season, many senior citizens in San Antonio (and abroad) are alone and sometimes can't afford to prepare a Thanksgiving meal for themselves. But In 1979, San Antonio restaurant owner and businessman, Raul Jimenez, recognized this need in his community, and established a Thanksgiving Day event designed to serve these often forgotten individuals. Now in its 42nd year, the Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner continues to provide senior citizens and the less fortunate a place to enjoy a hot and nutritious turkey dinner with all the trimmings on Thanksgiving Day. The event is typically held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in downtown San Antonio. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual event has partnered with non-profits from around the area to provide meals through a delivery service so that the individuals in-need can still enjoy a great Thanksgiving meal in the safety of their own home. - Where To Find/Follow the Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner: Website: https://www.rauljimenezdinner.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimenezdinner/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaulJimenezDinner/ - This episode is brought to you by Spectrum Reach & Live From The Southside.

In this rewind episode, Zakia Blain, the CEO and Founder of FBF Body is in the Side Hustle Pro podcast guest chair today for an update episode! Zakia is the master of the pivot.  Her company started with a fitness challenge, and when her doctors told her that she couldn't work out anymore due to an illness, she pivoted into shapewear.  Then, when the pandemic hit and people were not going outside and didn't need as much shapewear, FBF Body pivoted into athleisure apparel. FBF Body's highly sought after shapewear and fitness apparel has taken on a cult following of its own, largely in part due to Zakia's open and honest method of sharing herself actually wearing it and looking amazing while doing so.
