MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!
I’m seeing savvy marketers try to get ahead of embarrassing incidents. At this point, everyone is familiar with the scenario where a news/opinion personality on some show says something completely outrageous and hurtful, and the brands advertising on that show get dragged all over social media and become the subject of boycotts. Smart marketers don’t need that to happen more than once (or have it happen at all) to take proactive steps to avoid it. –Vanessa Otero, Founder and CEO at Ad Fontes Media
