@chizhao Might be something to that but prob just sports

@PatrickCoffee i had a thesis that maybe people are starting to miss the routine and experience of cable tv

Scoop: unreleased Nielsen data will turn the “streaming defeats old school TV” narrative on its head. Feb numbers will show the biggest swing away from streaming in the history of the firm’s monthly report. It’s a dramatic change with a big asterisk. wsj.com/cmo-today/dela…

Disney statement on The Bachelorette: “In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of 'The Bachelorette' at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.”

@chizhao Yeah the Super Bowl/olympics are the asterisk but the new numbers strongly indicate that Nielsen has historically over-indexed on streaming. The swing is way too big for SB alone.

@PatrickCoffee Feb is tough bc Super Bowl tho right? It would be more telling if it became a consistent pattern outside of a live tentpole event that commands this kind of scale.

@PatrickCoffee Where's the client?

Thoughts on the new tagline OMC debuted at today’s investor event?

@gregtelford The company makes money through the buying and selling of ad inventory. Creative services, PR etc are “nice to have.”

@PatrickCoffee Hey Patrick. What does this mean in Layman's terms?

Omnicom CEO John Wren at the company’s first investors day laying out revenue sources: 58% comes from “transactional” media 18% “advertising as you know it” …and then there’s everything else

Omnicom says it has the data below on 98% of US adults. Note the categories. The most common phrase used at its first investor day was “at scale,” and this is a big part of what that means ⬇️

B2B AI vendor ads on the subway are getting out of hand. I miss Dr Zizmor.

@joe_zappa And this is why you make the big bucks

@PatrickCoffee I'd tell them 99% of their PR items are not appropriate for the WSJ and to send you the 1% that are

idk what it says about me that I needed a chatbot to remind me to stop responding politely to PR spam

@joe_zappa You’d just tell your clients not to bother since they can get famous on LinkedIn right?

@PatrickCoffee Chatbots are cold AF

Analysis: despite AI ads outnumbering traditional Super Bowl ad categories like beer, nostalgia-driven ads from Budweiser and Dunkin' dominated social media (@patrickcoffee / Wall Street Journal) wsj.com/articles/ai-fu… #a260210p10" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">techmeme.com/260210/p10#a26…

Ahead of traditional TV’s biggest moment on Sunday and Alphabet’s full-year earnings later today, I wrote about why big advertisers—and their money—aren’t yet on board with the “YouTube is actually TV now” narrative. wsj.com/articles/some-…

@benpershing @BenMullin I somehow convinced the CEO of the firm behind those pitches that he shouldn’t force me to unsubscribe from every single “account manager” one by one. Because they give each one a separate URL…

@BenMullin But are there more AI-generated PR pitches in your state than other states? Find out!

what a.i.-generated PR pitches are doing to reporter inboxes everywhere is a catastrophe
