James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins us for a higher-level discussion on his macro outlook for both gold and silver, and how recent price trends will influence the mining equities. Additionally we also review how political developments within the new administration in Mexico are impacting the mining sector in this jurisdiction. We often talk with James about these topics “off-mic” and thought it would be engaging for listeners here if we recorded a conversation “on-mic” on some of these key areas that are on investors minds with regards to precious metals stocks.     Guanajuato Silver produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mining centers are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango. The operations team is also augmenting material at the Cata processing facility in Guanajuato with ore from both the historic Horcon Mine project, located in the state of Jalisco, and from stockpiles at the Pinguico mine. This effectively means they are seeing production from 6 of their mines, even though only the 4 primary mines have active ongoing underground mining.      If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email us at either Shad@kereport.com or Fleck@kereport.com and we'll get those addressed by management or covered in future interviews.   Click here to follow the latest news from Guanajuato Silver   Click here to check out the bullion store at Guanajuato Silver

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins us to outline the key takeaways from the updated resource estimate at the El Cubo Mine released on December 19th,  and he provides an exploration update from multiple other mines in Guanajuato, with recent or ongoing drill programs.   Highlights of the El Cubo Mineral Resource Estimate   Inferred mineral resources increase 85% over previous resource estimate to 35.6 million silver-equivalent ounces ("AgEq"). See table below for assumptions regarding the calculation of AgEq. Inferred mineral resource tonnes of 3,711 kt represents a 179% increase over the previous resource estimate. Indicated mineral resources of 3.9M AgEq; after three years of substantial mining activity at El Cubo, the resources within the Indicated Resource category have declined by just 23% from the previous estimate. Exploration expansion potential remains high; drilling to convert Inferred resources to Indicated Resources planned for January, 2025.   Next we get an exploration update from the recent drill results released to the market in November from the Valenciana Mines Complex nearby the Cata mine and mill, and the results from around the Pinguico Mine.  James notes that a drill is currently also turning at the Topia Mine, along with one at Valenciana, and the company would like to get more drilling into the San Ignacio Mine later in 2025.   The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango. The operations team is also augmenting material at the Cata processing facility in Guanajuato with ore from both the historic Horcon Mine project, located in the state of Jalisco, and from stockpiles at the Pinguico mine. This effectively means they are seeing production from 6 of their mines, even though only the 4 primary mines have active ongoing underground mining.      If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we'll get those addressed by management or in future interviews.   * In full disclosure, Shad has a position in Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from Guanajuato Silver

Can we engineer our way out of dystopia? A.I. technologist Deep Dhillon and I had a heated exchange about technology after meeting by chance in Granada after a flamenco performance. The conversation was fascinating, and I invited him onto the show to discuss what's really going on in Silicon Valley around A.I., what developments are being made and why, and how this technology is going to impact us all. As a cofounder of cofounder of Xyonix and host of the podcast, Your A.I. Injection, Deep has decades of experience working on A.I. models in the Valley. He explains his vision for a brighter future facilitated by technology, but equally explains the negative impacts of technology not just on society but on the industry itself which is racing to keep up with its own developments. This is a wide-ranging conversations about systems, tech, the economy and collective responsibility for engineering a better future for us all.Planet: Critical is 100% independent and community-powered.

Vodárne sa topia investičnom dlhu. | Hostia: Jozef Božik (predseda Združenia miest a obcí Slovenska) a Radovan Potočár (energetický analytik). | Stovky obcí bez vodovodu či kanalizácie a hnilé potrubia pod frekventovanými ulicami. Aj tak si možno predstaviť investičný dlh vodárenského odvetvia, ktoré podľa Najvyššieho kontrolného úradu dorástol na desať miliárd eur. Samosprávy, ktoré sú akcionármi regionálnych vodárenských firiem, nemajú prostriedky na modernizáciu siete. Argumentujú, že ceny vodného a stočného, ktoré určuje Úrad pre reguláciu sieťových odvetví, sú poddimenzované. Varujú tiež, že neriešenie problému môže viesť k ohrozeniu dostupnosti pitnej vody. Kto nesie zodpovednosť za zastaranú vodárenskú infraštruktúru? Kde by sa mohli nájsť prostriedky na jej modernizáciu? A aké riešenie problému navrhuje vláda? | Moderuje: Simona Beňová; | V premiére každý pracovný deň v Rádiu Slovensko po 18:30. Diskusiu K veci pripravuje Slovenský rozhlas, Rádio Slovensko, SRo1.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins us to provide a comprehensive Q2 financial and operational update from their 4 producing silver-gold mines and 3 processing facilities in central Mexico, where the company saw record revenues.  We expand on some of the equipment and personnel changes the company has invested in to continue optimizing future production.  We also get into the dual focus of both production growth initiatives as well as lowering costs to generate larger revenues.   The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango. The operations team is also augmenting material at the Cata processing facility in Guanajuato with ore from both the historic Horcon Mine project, located in the state of Jalisco, and from stockpiles at the Pinguico mine. This effectively means they are seeing production from 6 of their mines, even though only the 4 primary mines have active ongoing underground mining.      Q2 2024 (Three Month Period) Highlights:   Record revenue for the quarter of $20.5M representing a 16% increase over the previous quarter, and a 22% increaseover Q2 2023. Consolidated revenue for the quarter was generated by a realized average price of $28.78 per silver ounce, $2,334 per gold ounce, $0.98 per pound of lead, and $1.29 per pound of zinc. Positive mine operating income of $947,433. During the quarter, the Company posted its first ever positive income from mining operations. Positive EBITDA* of $2,007,907 represents the first positive EBITDA* reported by the Company and demonstrates improving cash flow from mining operations. EBITDA showed a notable $6.5M improvement from the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA* was also positive at $1,916,933 for the quarter. Production for the quarter of 823,679 silver-equivalent ounces ("AgEq") derived from 398,685 ounces of silver, 4,255 ounces of gold, 806,295 pounds of lead and 1,067,538 pounds of zinc. (See note to table below for details regarding the Company's AgEq calculations). Guanajuato Silver remains a primary silver and gold producer with over 90% of revenues being derived from the sale of precious metals. All lead and zinc production comes exclusively from the Company's Topia mine located in northwest Durango.   At the Topia Mine, the commissioning of a new filter system for silver-gold-lead concentrates has been successfully completed. This new filter system is one of two that will be installed at the mine site; the second concentrator will be for silver-zinc concentrate production. At the San Ignacio Mine, located approximately 20km from the Company's Cata Processing facility, a new ore sorter, which arrived on site in July, is rapidly approaching the commissioning phase. The NUCTECH MC2000NF Intelligent Mineral Sorting System provides high-tech sorting accuracy, large processing capacity, environmental friendliness, and high reliability through a system that utilizes X-ray and structured light imaging technology to intelligently identify and then separate high-grade silver and gold material. The ore sorter is expected to improve overall efficiencies at San Ignacio, raising the grade of transported material to the Cata mill. The San Ignacio mine accounted for approximately 15% of total silver-equivalent production during Q2, 2024.   We reviewed that in Q1 that there was a fair bit of material processed at their El Cubo mill from 3rd party sources, and while there was a pause on those contracts in Q2 and Q3, that they are encouraged about adding in more contracted 3rd-party material into the mill later in the year and moving forward, but don't have a definitive start date at this time.   Wrapping up, James discusses how important to the growth initiatives that the addition of Carlos Silva, as the new Chief Operating Officer in 2024 has been, and mentions that the company is still considering other bolt on operations or stockpiles in the greater Guanajuato area of Mexico to process at their facilities.  He also points out that in addition to investing in growth that the Company is making significant strides in paying down outstanding debt, and that they will continue to do so in the quarters to come.   If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we'll get those addressed by management or in future interviews.   * In full disclosure, Shad has a position in Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the Guanajuato Silver website to read over the recent news releases we discussed.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins me to provide a review a comprehensive operational update from their 4 producing silver-gold mines and 3 processing facilities in central Mexico, and some of the equipment the company has invested in and is installing to optimize future production.  We also get into the political landscape in relation to mining in Mexico, and how James sees that evolving over time.   The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.   At the Topia Mine, the commissioning of a new filter system for silver-gold-lead concentrates has been successfully completed. This new filter system is one of two that will be installed at the mine site; the second concentrator will be for silver-zinc concentrate production. Topia produces concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc through a processing facility that comprises a 260-tonnes-per-day flotation plant; the new concentrate filters will contribute to helping the plant achieve, and potentially exceed, full production capacity, as well as potentially producing higher grade concentrates.   At the San Ignacio Mine, located approximately 20km from the Company's Cata Processing facility, a new ore sorter, which arrived on site in July, is rapidly approaching the commissioning phase. The NUCTECH MC2000NF Intelligent Mineral Sorting System provides high-tech sorting accuracy, large processing capacity, environmental friendliness, and high reliability through a system that utilizes X-ray and structured light imaging technology to intelligently identify and then separate high-grade silver and gold material. The ore sorter is expected to improve overall efficiencies at San Ignacio, raising the grade of transported material to the Cata mill. The San Ignacio mine accounted for approximately 15% of total silver-equivalent production during Q2, 2024.   Next we review the augmenting material at the Company's Cata processing facility in Guanajuato with ore from both the historic Horcon Mine project, located in the state of Jalisco, and from stockpiles at the Pinguico mine. This effectively means they are seeing production from 6 of their mines, even though only the 4 primary mines have active underground mining going on.  We also discuss that in Q1 that there was a fair bit of material processed at their El Cubo mill from 3rd party sources, and while there was a pause on those contracts in Q2 and Q3, that they anticipate adding in more contracted 3rd-party material into the mill later in the year and moving forward.   Wrapping up, James discusses some of the nuances in Mexico, his outlook for it as a mining jurisdiction, the changes that may be coming to the global mining industry as it relates to open-pit mining, and why he believes they have an advantage in Guanajuato Silver with all underground mines, extra mill capacity, and communities that have embedded understanding and appreciation for mining as a key industry.   If you have any follow up questions for James or want more information on any of the assets please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we'll get those addressed by management or in future interviews.   * In full disclosure, Shad has a position in Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the Guanajuato Silver website to read over the recent news releases we discussed.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins me to provide a review of the key metrics from their Q1 financials and a comprehensive operational and exploration update from their 4 producing silver-gold mines and 3 processing facilities in central Mexico.   The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.    Q1 2024 Highlights   Record metals production during the quarter of 987,312 AgEq (silver equivalent) was up 16% over the previous quarter; AgEq ounces derived from 428,279 ounces of silver; 5,384 ounces of gold; 879,242 pounds of lead; and 922,297 pounds of zinc. Tonnes milled increased 20% over the previous quarter; a total of 165,079 tonnes were processed among GSilver's three production facilities. Both all-in sustaining cost ("AISC") of $20.19 per AgEq ounce, and cash costs of $16.55 per AgEq ounce were 6% lower than the previous quarter  Record revenue of $17.8M was 7% higher than the previous quarter; net loss decreased by 3% in Q1 to $7.3M compared to $7.6M in Q4, 2024. Realized average metal prices for the quarter of $23.37 per silver ounce, and $2,068 per gold ounce sold.   James highlighted the consistent quarter over quarter growth in the Company since beginning operations in 2021, discussed how they calculate their AISC more inclusively than many companies, and the different initiatives the company has at each mine to keep bringing costs down in the quarters to come.  We also discuss the capex investment into new flash flotation cells, ore sorting equipment, and a new filter press to continue to optimize their mining operations and improve efficiencies and costs.   Next we review the augmenting of material at the El Cubo mill from 3rd party sources, as well as surface stockpiles from their El Horcon mine, with the potential of looking at starting to develop their Pinguico Project to ship more mineralized material to El Cubo down the road.  We wrap up with the exploration upside still present across their properties and a quick review of the key strategic shareholders.   If you have any follow up questions for James or want more information on any of the assets please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we'll get those addressed by management or in future interviews.   * In full disclosure, Shad has a position in Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the Guanajuato Silver website to read over the recent news releases we discussed.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins us to provide a comprehensive operational and financial update from their 4 producing silver-gold mines and 3 processing facilities in central Mexico.   The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.   James highlighted the consistent quarter over quarter growth in the Company since beginning operations in 2021, with the exception of the tough 3rd quarter of 2023, and their strategy to get production ramped back up since then in Q4 of last year and Q1 of this year, in addition to bringing down costs in a meaningful way.   2023 saw record production of 3.5 million silver-equivalent ounces ("AgEq") representing a 64% increase over 2022; where total AgEq ounces are derived from 1,756,911 ounces of silver, 16,987 ounces of gold, 3,555,466 pounds of lead and 3,868,262 pounds of zinc. There were also record revenues for 2023 of $66.1M representing a 79% increase over 2022.   We discussed the investment back into the 4 operating mines, which took cash costs to $18.22 per AgEq ounce, and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) to $22.91 per AgEq ounce.  These costs reflected higher capital expenditures during the year as the Company made significant investments designed to improve efficiencies across all operations.   James also outlined the further mill enhancements that they'd like to add at 2 mines, and the focused company strategy the last couple quarters that has paid off at raising the grades at their El Cubo Mine. These improvements in efficiencies, paired with a higher silver price, help set the company up for even more growth in 2024.   If you have any follow up questions for James or want more information on any of the assets please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.   * In full disclosure, Shad has a position in Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the Guanajuato Silver website to read over the recent news releases we discussed.

What do you want your audience to understand about your brand? Ask this question with every piece of content you create. Because you want to drive home a specific message. If it's not doing the job, you need to synthesize the information for your audience. Distill your message to show the value and benefits of your product. It's how you cut through the noise and capture the attention of your audience. That's what we're talking about today with the help of Sproutloud's Director of Demand Generation, Aaron Morrissey. Together, we watch Parts Unknown and chat about lessons we can take from Anthony Bourdain, including being yourself in your content and synthesizing your message. About our guest, Aaron MorrisseyAaron Morrissey is the Director of Demand Generation at Sproutloud Media Networks, where he works with enterprise clients to help them launch, manage, and optimize digital campaigns across their distributed network. He joined the company in November of 2022. Prior to his current role, he served as Director of Demand Gen at Topia. He is also a content creator for HockeyStack and other B2B SaaS brands.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Parts Unknown:Be the same person in your content as you are in real life. Show that there's a real person behind the content you're creating, not some corporate bot. So breathe personality and soul into your content. Aaron says, “When the cameras turned on from when the cameras turned off, [Anthony Bourdain] was the same person. If I'm the same person all around, people will start to either  gravitate toward that or realize that I'm not their cup of tea. People talk so much about authenticity. The real authenticity is truly not being afraid of the consequences of being yourself.” Synthesize your message to drive home the point you're making. Supplement the visuals with a carefully crafted narrative in your voice that explains what you want your audience to understand. Ian says, “[Anthony Bourdain] brings you into a world that you don't know anything about. And he's giving you these visuals and these conversations. But then he's also synthesizing the information for you in an extremely tight narrative so that he's hammering home the point of what you're seeing with a very clear lesson in every episode. It's what makes it so brilliant.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Aaron Morrissey, Director of Demand Generation at Sproutloud[1:47] Exploring the Uncompromising Creativity of Parts Unknown[5:36] Aaron Morrissey's Journey: From Content Creation to Demand Generation[7:47] The Essence and Impact of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown[15:22] Crafting a Personal Brand: Insights from Anthony Bourdain's Legacy[19:24] The Art of Content Creation: Learning from Bourdain's Approach[21:09] Synthesizing Information: The Key to Engaging Content[24:45] Exploring Culinary Delights and Conversational Skills[25:35] The Art of Storytelling in Parts Unknown[27:12] Anthony Bourdain's Legacy and the Power of Serialized Content[28:18] The Impact of Following Bourdain's Footsteps[30:35] Creative Evolution and the Importance of Authenticity[36:49] Marketing Strategies and the Future of Content Creation[47:06] Predictions on the Future of the Creator World and B2B ContentLinksWatch Parts UnknownConnect with Aaron on LinkedInLearn more about SproutloudAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins us to provide a comprehensive update on the strategy to optimize operations at all 4 producing silver-gold mines and 3 processing facilities in central Mexico.   The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.   James highlights the corporate incentives with personnel to focus on grade and economics at each mine, and points to the addition of Carlos A. Silva as Chief Operating Officer, who will starting working in January, as another key step in optimizing each of the mining operations on a move forward basis.   We wrapped up touching on the financial health of the company with the news announced today, December 5th,  that it has closed a US$7.5 million Gold Loan Credit Facility financing with Ocean Partners UK Ltd. The unsecured loan facility is for a term of 36 months, is repayable in equal fixed monthly installments of gold totaling approximately 191 troy ounces per month for a period of 30 months, following a six-month grace period.  In addition to paying back a prior loan with Ocean Partners, James breaks down some of the key areas of development that will see this capital utilized, and shares the key catalysts for investors to watch out for in the next few quarters.   If you have any follow up questions for James or want more information on any of the assets please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.   * In full disclosure, Shad has a position in Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the Guanajuato Silver website to read over the recent news releases we discussed. James also had an article recently featured over at Mining Discovery, where he laid out the case that on Wednesday October, 11th that we had “entered into a new bull market for precious metals.” That looks to have been a very prescient call.

In a world where there's no jokes

The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT We've seen a noticeable rise in the last couple of years of visual illusions and other trickery on big digital OOH screens and other surfaces presented as real screens, when they're not. There's enough of it that observers have started giving it names, like virtual out of home, Fake DOOH or the one I like - Faux DOOH. Arguably,  the most notable ones involve Dubai landmarks - a giant, empty picture frame in that city turned into an Adidas billboard celebrating Lionel Messi's World Cup win. Or a giant Barbie taking a step in a plaza, with the Burj skyscraper looming in the immediate background. They're fun and noteworthy, but if people got in their cars to go have a look in person, they'd be disappointed, because they're totally computer-based compositions overlaid on surfaces that don't have screens. And it absolutely happens. David Title of the New York creative technology shop Bravo Media goes back and forth with me a lot about this stuff, on social media.  While we both have a problem with CGI creative presented as real when it isn't, we have differing opinions on its validity and value. In this podcast, we get into what's going on, how it is done, the good and the bad, and interesting things like the legal implications of running a Faux DOOH ad overlaid on a real screen that the media owner otherwise sells. It's a fun half-hour. Subscribe from wherever you pick up new podcasts. TRANSCRIPT David, thank you for joining me. We've chatted once before, but that was in your office in New York. Can you give me a rundown of what Bravo Media does, first of all?  David Title: Sure. Bravo is a creative production studio with a very sort of direct focus on real-world, real-time experience, and for us, that sort of splits almost down the middle between working on events across trade shows, conferences, activations, launches and then working on projects within the built environment around corporate environments and retail display and hospitality and immersive attraction and combining the world of visual content animation 2D and 3D modeling video along with interactive development and design. Would you liken yourself more to an agency or like a solutions provider because, I know, a lot of the stuff you do involves some hardware as well, like you've gotta figure that part out? David Title: Yeah, we straddle a lot of those traditional titles. We work with agencies quite often to help them execute projects that they have developed with their clients. We also work directly with clients across a lot of areas, especially in the B2B space, on projects in which we're helping from ideation right through delivery. And on the hardware side, we really partner across the board with folks in the AV and hardware space. From LED providers, integrators, manufacturers, and all those folks have to come together. The thing that's so challenging and exciting about the idea of experiential marketing is that it does require a swath of people with different specialties, and any place that's saying they were doing it alone is either lying or doing it badly.  I know it's always difficult to talk about projects that you've worked on because a lot of your customers don't allow you to say anything. But are there ones that you can provide references that people might be familiar with?  David Title: Sure. I think a couple of things that have been fun for us that are out in the public eye; I know NFL season is starting up again shortly, and we got to work on a pretty exciting project as they were building out the new NFL Broadcast Studios, network Studios next to SoFi Stadium. And we helped create this pretty phenomenal piece of the studio called the Duke, which is half of a giant extruded glass and metal football, but each pane of glass is actually reactive. So it can go from opaque to transparent in a microsecond and then fully projection mapped. So, we're able to go from this clear display that people walking behind it can see through to the show floor and turn it into a full-fledged display for on-air graphics. That was a really fun piece to collaborate with some really excellent folks across the space, and it's fun to see it on TV and see the differences in how it's been used over the last couple of years. You also did that QSR in Times Square. Are you allowed to talk about that one? David Title: The Revlon Spot? I'm thinking of donuts. David Title: Oh, yeah. We did the Krispy Kreme experience for Times Square, sort of flagship for Krispy Kreme. Okay. So you can talk about that. David Title: We can talk about that a little bit. We created the Donut Theater Experience, and part of the fun of that shop is that, as you're waiting in line for your donuts, you're standing watching their fully automated sort of donut production line do its magic tricks. We enhanced that with a whole bunch of projections, including projecting on their glaze waterfall and making tracked projections onto donuts, which required creating a piece of software called 'Is that a donut,' which is fun to use in other projects and the whole integrated system of little shows that happen throughout the day, showcase that space.  Interesting. I'm finally getting back to New York in a couple of months. Go down there and see as much as I try to avoid Times Square, but it's been a while, so I should go.  David Title: I gotta say, in terms of digital out-of-home, there's definitely been a sort of explosion of really gigantic displays now in Times Square. We've got that big TSX board now with the stage doors that SNA put in that I walk past almost every morning on my way to work. I cut very quickly through Times Square to get to the other side. Zigzag around the tourists, although it's probably not the first thing in the morning as much. David Title: It's amazing how early they get out there. Sleep in. Alright, so we're mentioning Times Square. The reason that we wanted to have a chat was to talk about the emergence and somewhat the explosion of, first of all, anamorphic video or visual illusions on these big LED boards. But, more to the point, these visual illusions that don't actually exist are being developed by brands using CGI artists and everything else and being presented as the real deal in some cases or being assumed as the real deal. And I have a problem with those instances which are frequent when stuff gets put up on LinkedIn or Twitter or other social media channels saying, 'Look at this amazing thing in Dubai or wherever, or one of the most recent ones was this giant, I don't know how tall it was. Purported to be like an 80-foot-tall Barbie near the Burj Khalifa. And people are going, oh my God, I have to see that, and I was going on LinkedIn saying it's not actually real. It's just a CGI thing, guys, and I think that's problematic. We've gone back and forth with this, and you said it's actually pretty interesting and opportune. So, what's your perspective on it?  David Title: I think it's interesting you bring up the anamorphic, quote-unquote, 3D displays that have been happening on a lot of billboards around the world. And in some ways, that kind of started this whole discussion because one thing that we both saw in a lot of people on LinkedIn and other places like Instagram and Twitter, that there was a mix of actual footage taken on the street of these displays from that perfect viewing angle. And they looked really cool and really amazing, and then, there were a number of comps that are CGI artists creating content that is superimposed onto video of those same billboards. Sometimes, they do really well, and sometimes, with less viability, as they leave the frame of the billboard and things like that. In some cases, it is being used by manufacturers and resellers claiming to have 3D billboards or 3D LEDs, which is very misrepresentative and super problematic. I think across the industry, for everybody, it creates false expectations and limits your ability to show off what actually is cool and impossible. And I think it just creates a negative connotation across the board, and at the same time, of course, like at Bravo, because we create a lot of original experiences. We create a lot of comps for our clients all the time as a way to help explain and understand how something's gonna look. We use it as part of our design process, part of our creative process, and the next iteration of that, and honestly, the first one of these that I remember being in that space between a fake that many people thought was real. The Soho Zara storefront, which was, again, a really well-crafted fantasy comp, which, if for no other reason than once it was completed, the space seemed to have no doors, which is problematic for retail. I think if you have a really killer window display and nobody can get in it, it's a little self-defeating. There were plenty of other reasons why it was impossible. The artist that created it, I don't think, created it with any intent to make people think it was real. That same artist has done plenty of other pieces similar to this and has a history of these sorts of works. But Zara did post it on their own Instagram without saying it wasn't real, and I know people that went down there to see the store. People that I thought were smarter than that, to be honest. But I get it. You get wrapped up, you get excited, and I think the beauty of these sorts of comps and fantasy installations is that they are super inspirational, and they are exciting, and they're really fun. And then you got to this next level. I think over the last six or seven months, the biggest ones that I think people saw and some people bought into, and some didn't, but all were put out there without a direct statement that they weren't real. There was a big Argentina billboard after the World Cup. There was the French bag company that I won't pronounce properly, that started with a 'J' that made handbag cars that drove around Paris which looked great. Maybelline did a mascara thing on subways and buses that looked like they had giant eyelashes, and then I think the one that really went super viral was that Barbie piece that you were talking about. And the coach had a fun piece for their new coach Topia popup, which also a number of people thought was real, and clearly, they've never tried to get anything past a permitting board in New York City because that wasn't going to happen. One of the people on LinkedIn said, "You should go down and check it out", and I challenged him, I said, where are they gonna check out? That's a comp, it's an AR thing.  David Title: Yeah, and it's super fun. I think what's exciting about it from our perspective is that, first of all, I don't think there's any value or any point in anyone involved in these projects directly and saying, "Hey, This is real when it's not." Is there a responsibility to do something somewhere out there that loudly says, this isn't real? I don't know. They don't say that on The Fast and the Furious. But I don't know, cars in outer space. Oh, I guess that's Tesla's outer space. But anyway. But you know what it allows for one is it allows even small brands, challenger brands, and not-for-profits to create the experience of their dreams and realize it at a fraction of the cost of executing it in the real world. And with out-of-home in general, obviously, you're first buying for those views on the street. But the bonus for out-of-home is if your content is so good that it gets picked up and shared on the internet and across social media and picked up by the news. When that happens, it's a massive boost, and so if you look at these current virtual digital out-of-home campaigns, you're not getting those street views, but you're getting an exponentially higher number of impressions through social media. So, I think in that way, it's such an exciting way to explore what's possible and also to play around with reality. And, if you watch those handbags driving around Paris, and it feels real, and it looks real, then that's a great experience for you to have watching it. And the fact that it was synthesized doesn't make it any less fun or engaging than Fast and the Furious.  Does it matter if it's not technically possible or incredibly expensive to do? If you did wanna make it possible? I'm thinking of some of the anamorphic illusions, where the physics doesn't work; the visual is escaping well beyond the borders of the display. To me, that's more problematic.  David Title: To some degree. Again, I think most of those that I've seen start with somebody claiming it to be a real thing and that they have some special product that does it, and that I have a real problem with.  The other question and this is probably more controversial, but on video, in theory, Brand Z could virtually take over every billboard in Times Square and pay nothing to the owners of those displays as far as I know. I don't know if those laws have been written. Yeah, I think you're right. Ocean Outdoor is a big UK digital at-home media company. Big media owner has the big ass display right in Piccadilly Square or the circus, pardon me, and they put out something recently saying, yeah, we do have a problem with this because you have companies who are appropriating our media space and presenting it as something that they booked and ran on it when they didn't.  David Title: And that's an interesting question. Because, in theory, what they're selling is digital out-of-home, and what I've done is made a video of the surroundings. And then, can I do a video where I put lipstick in a funny hat on the Statue of Liberty? Or can I make it look like the Lincoln Memorial has been dressed up for the circus?  Oh, Lord.  David Title: There's always been a history of advertising stunts. Some of which have been more moral or ethical. Burger King did an AR takeover where it turned their competitors' logos and things on fire. So you'd point your phone in the McDonald's outlet, and it would be flame-broiled or whatever. I can't remember exactly how it operated, but they impacted their competitors. And again, I'm like, I opted into that. Is that Avaya? Probably some interesting court cases are coming, I would guess. Or some, at least starting with some cease and desist letters, maybe.  Yeah, you live in a very litigious country, and I wonder about those graphic artists, particularly if they're commissioned by a, let's say, a fashion chain or whatever to do something. And they create a piece on a building that doesn't even have a display on them. Some commercial property company has, and they see that and are gonna stick their lawyers on them and say, guys, you're using my building as an out-of-home media display.  David Title: I would counter that when a movie shoots in a city, every building in that shot is part of the scenery that I'm using in my movie. They're not getting paid. Let's see what happens. You just gave some lawyer an idea. David Title: I know. I hate that. That was not the point of this conversation, Dave. The point of this conversation was to inspire people to get excited about virtual digital out-of-home and see the possibility. But what I think is fun about it and, again, moving even beyond and creating virtual billboards or virtual content onto real billboards are some of the larger, more imaginative things you can do. The coach piece the Maybelline piece, and even, to some degree, the Barbie piece, which honestly was so clearly CGI that I don't really feel like anybody can be upset that they were trying to be fooled. Come on, it's an 80-foot woman with no nothing behind her. Yeah, I think the Dubai frame one with Leonard Messi was more convincing to a whole bunch of people. David Title: Yeah, it was; I got phone calls asking how they did it, and... You said they didn't. David Title: I said they didn't. They did. That's the fun of it. And also, the whole thing with all these things are the ones that really are successful because they look great, they're a really fun idea, they inspire a level of enjoyment and engagement. It's good advertising, and I think the few people who feel slightly tricked by it don't really cause a negative brand impact. Whoever owns the Dubai frame, whether that's a municipal thing or a private entity or whatever it may be, should they be paid for that usage?  David Title: Yeah, it's a good question, and at what level? And by what metric? and I don't know what the line for that is. People take videos in Times Square all the time and alter things and change things and post them on their feeds, where is it artistic expression? What am I allowed to do? Because it looks cool and fun  When you have something like the ZARA Store or the Adidas Lionel Messy thing in Dubai. Those aren't cheap to produce to do them well, as you were saying. Does it tend to be the brands that are commissioning these things? Or do you have CGI artists like Shane Fu, who did the ZARA thing, just doing this for giggles?  David Title: I think there's a mix. I think we're certainly currently working with a handful of clients on, essentially, virtual, out-of-home campaign concepts. These are clients that would never have the budgets to do these things for real but do have the budgets to create the virtual version in a satisfying manner. And it really allows them to express themselves in ways and to create experiences in ways that are new and exciting and get attention.  Yeah. Does this stuff have a shelf life to it? And I guess what I'm wondering is right now, there's not that many of them increasing numbers certainly, but it's still pretty new. At some point, if you have a whole bunch of brands doing this, does it become an arms race where you somehow there have to be a little bit more outlandish? Otherwise, it's just like wallpaper, like other, more conventional digital signers displays and digital out of home displays. David Title: I think, not unlike the anamorphic content, I think that it's partly a trend. When it's done really well, and if you're going to go with an anamorphic display, it really helps to have a good reason to be doing it beyond; I want it to look 3D, right? And the best anamorphic pieces we've seen are really clever in the way that they take advantage of the illusion, and it's really satisfying, and I think that's gonna be the challenge. It's not so outlandish. I think it's gonna be cleverness and integration and in the same way that it would be true for any kind of real-world activation. I don't think that Maybelline's gonna get the same pop out by putting lipstick on a Volkswagen after doing the mascara on the buses. But I think there's another channel they could explore to find another hit of attention. Yeah. As some of the 3D displays that I've seen are just videos mainly, a watch, the face kind of escapes the screen a little bit, or somebody walks up and peers out over the edge of the screen down into the crowd or whatever, they're clever, but I really wonder how much impact they have. David Title: Yeah. Honestly, I think with any of these anamorphic, you, on the one hand, you've gotta be losing a certain number of impressions because it simply doesn't make the impression, a valuable impression from a lot of angles. But it makes a really big impression from the right angle. Which is a very narrow-angle typically.  David Title: Although there are so many of these right now in New York, and I do think folks are beginning to understand how to make things that have a slightly better and wider viewing angle by just not pushing the 3D illusion quite as deep. You can get away with it a little better, but obviously, a big hope for doing these 3D boards is that somebody is filming them and sharing them, or the client is doing that and getting that extra engagement through social media. I think, again, it loses its amazing value for just being seemingly 3D. And now we're into the second wave of this, where it actually has to be smart, interesting, and relevant, and all the things that good marketing and good advertising have to be successful regardless of the channel that you're using.  Yeah, I was over in Germany at a conference about a month and a half ago, and one of the presentations was from Ocean Outdoor, the UK Media firm. They're in some other countries as well, and they were talking about 3D projects like that, and one of 'em was in a shopping mall in Denmark, and then I asked them, Specifically, did you guys shoot this and socialize it out of your own channels to make sure that you had a really good, perfectly positioned camera angle on this? And you used that to amplify it because I wrote a piece about that one in particular. 'cause some consumers shot it from an off angle, and you could see how crappy it looked.  David Title: Yeah. I remember when they first started popping up before I saw my first one in New York. I was literally on LinkedIn begging people who live nearby to shoot at any of those from an off-angle. Just so people would understand. Not again; this is nothing. I think it's cool as hell. I really love that we make anamorphic content. I think it's really cool. I love optical illusions in general. We have a long history at Bravo of projection mapping, which is all about optical illusion. Because I love triggering the brain without any magical technology. It's just the beauty of how our brains work in perspectives, and it's great. Super cool. But, it really matters for people who are looking to utilize any of these technologies. We're. Obviously, we're almost at the end here, so I'm not gonna mention the H word, 'Holograms.' Oh, go ahead.  David Title: Holograms. There aren't any, but It's important that people understand what the abilities and limitations of each of these platforms are so that you can utilize them to their best effect. They're all cool. Pepper's Ghost is cool, and Amorphic is cool. I think virtual digital out-of-home is cool, but it can all be terrible, really easy if it's not used right. Yeah. Sometimes, the best application is not the one with the most whizz banger about it. It's just right for the environment, and I think of what you were talking about with projection mapping. I love jobs where the projection mapping is very subtle, and it just appears on a wall in an unexpected way, and it's not flashy or anything else. It's just, oh, where'd that come from? It makes you look. David Title: I think the whole notion in the video game world, there's this history of Easter eggs. These sorts of things are hidden within the game that are special if you look or if you stumble upon them, and I really think so. Within the whole world of experiential marketing and out of home, those little moments of discovery can be so powerful and so meaningful, and I totally agree. The relevancy and meaningfulness and relationship to the environment and all those things are really what makes something effective. It's not necessarily the biggest, loudest, flashiest thing.  The stuff that was done for Coachtopia with this giant Rube Goldberg machine spitting out handbags off the side of the building. Is that a more viable way to do augmented reality? 'cause I've always wondered what percentage of the population is going to reliably view the outside world through their six-inch smartphone screen. David Title: Yeah. Again, I think with a lot of the AR stuff in general, one of my favorite clients from back in the day, a woman named Bernadette Castro, used to just always ask me, no matter what we were gonna do for us. She'd say, I don't know, David, is the juice worth the squeeze? And I love that, and I think about it all the time, and I think with AR, you're asking people to go through this extra step, and the juice has to be worth the squeeze, and again, if it reveals something that's interesting and meaningful and relevant and rewards you in some way for that participation, then I think people will do it. But I think a lot of AR projects go largely unviewed. Because they're just not worth the lift.  Yeah, and it's a little bit of eye candy that people look at and go. That was fun. But they'll give it 10 seconds, and that's it.  David Title: Yeah. It's getting more viable. Web AR is getting better, meaning that you're not downloading an app; you're not going through all that rigmarole. The other thing is you're still relying on available bandwidth wherever you're standing, and at least in the US, that can often not be enough. And that's a larger issue with all the AR stuff and all of the digital extensions to outta home, is the cooler that experience wants to be, the more bandwidth it's going to require, and that's not always available.  Last question. I'm curious if all this stuff that's been emerging is leading to new business because people come to you saying, we'd like to do this, and you have to tell 'em what they did at the Zara store isn't really possible because you need a door to get into the store. But does it open up new conversations and new opportunities?  David Title: Oh, absolutely, and honestly, we spend so much of our time just educating, and for us, it's been really important from the beginning. I don't sell any particular hardware, and I don't have stock in any particular platform. So, for us, being able to understand and communicate the opportunities with projection mapping versus LED versus LCD or the conversation I had yesterday with a client about the giant refrigerators. I call them shower stalls. David Title: Yeah. I just always think everyone looks; everyone has to be very cold. But I don't sell those directly. I think there's a place for all these things, but what we really love is to have that opportunity to share all of these cool opportunities that are out there and to really help our clients select the solution that's really gonna move the dials for them, that they need to move. Yeah, figure out the problem as opposed to, how can I use this thing?  David Title: Right. Because nobody cares what the thing is when they're having the experience. All they care about is the experience, and if you can do that experience with a $10 piece of something and it's powerful and meaningful, then you should do that, not do the $10,000 one, if it's not as good a fit.  Yeah, a $200 Pico projector and not the $200,000 video wall.  David Title: Again, there's a time and a place for all of these things, and it really is about understanding what you're trying to do first, like you said, and then finding the solutions that are out there. All right, David, thank you. That was a lot of fun.  David Title: Yeah. I really appreciate it. That was great.
