After two years at the helm of Marketing magazine, Canada’s advertising and media source, Tom Gierasimczuk has profiled the business models of everyone from Michael Einser to the guys from Vice Media. His conclusion (and vital advice to magazine publishers): authentic communication is the gold standard in a world where ad agency “campaigns” often fail to connect with audiences, prompting marketers to search out editorial techniques to get the job done.
In the video of this seminar, Tom presents his review of a fragmented marketing landscape that finally favours the publishers that get it with opportunities to offer not just “ad space,” but nimble marketing services that steal market share from agencies and build new client-direct relationships.
