Windows Weekly (Audio)A World of Wonder - The weakness of Copilot's branding
Microsoft finally kills Movies & TV show service in the Microsoft Store. This was the final vestigial minder of Zune that remained. There was Groove Video and Xbox Video, too. Microsoft previously killed eBook (2019) and music (2017) sales. At this point, you would have to be insane to buy content from Microsoft, sorry... but you can get to some of your content on other services via Movies Anywhere - and use the Movies & TV app for now in Windows, which is no longer bundled.

Host-Read Ads (Audio)Podcast Host-Read Ads Outperform Voice Talent Ads
I started my podcast a year ago to educate brands on podcast ads and why our host-read ad format, which we have used since its inception, is the best and will always outperform all other podcast ad formats.
According to Spotify, the earliest podcast sponsors understood the intimate nature of podcasting, making it an ideal medium for brands to connect with engaged listeners and support their advertising goals. Why? Because at the center of that connection is the podcast host, whose familiar voice listeners trust. As podcast advertising grew - host-read ads became advertisers preferred format.

Two months ago I did a podcast about the reasons why brands should work directly with podcast networks and I realized I should do a series on this because there are so many reasons and saving money through buying smarter should be a priority for brands. Therefore, this is now part II and I will do as many as I feel necessary to educate brands in this space.First, let me remind you all that I have been in the podcasting industry since inception.

Here are three overview tips when considering your brand's CTA to stand out.
Is your brand in a crowded space? Is there a standout competitor who has the market share? Brands need to be aware of their competition and decide whether to take on established clientele OR go after new business. It is essential to think about your strategy and identify who you want to target before looking for podcast networks to advertise with. Brands must determine who they want to reach - industry, job title, company size, etc.

Today I am going to continue from last week's Part I of Setting Brands Expectations from a podcast campaign. Please listen to it if you haven't already.
The reason why I put emphasis on exploring what brands have done in marketing and what they are doing now IS to set goals and expectations from working with our network and how we are going to elevate the brand further with host-read ads on TWiT. In order to make a campaign successful, we need to know they are re-targeting the traffic we are sending to their website with Google...2023-07-2802 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Setting Brands Expectations From Podcast Advertising - Part I

Therefore I am leaving it open, and this series will be as long as it needs to be.
First, I want to remind everyone that podcasts have only been around for 20 years. No one has the exact number of active pods because people start and stop them all the...2023-07-2103 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Brands Should Work Directly With Podcast Networks
Having been in podcasting business for several years, brands would benefit more if they worked directly with podcast networks because networks know what it takes to be successful and agencies who buy across thousands of podcasts do not implement the tools you need for a successful campaign - hence they waste brand money, while networks know how to position brands properly on their network & they save brands money. Here are four reasons why brands should buy direct.

Having worked in the podcast industry for fifteen years at TWiT.tv and overseeing sales for most of it, I want to provide brands with an outline of best practices when advertising on podcasts because I have learned that all traditional ad agencies ignore them entirely - which is where brands lose.

Having overseen podcast ad sales for over a decade, here at TWiT, we know how to properly implement podcast campaigns on our network. Here are the top four tools you should use to properly gauge your podcast campaigns.
Use ad-tech, such as Podsights, Claritas, or Podscribe, to properly gauge attribution. These providers will include a tracking pixel in the podcast feed and a tracking pixel on your website. Then the ad tech company can track who downloaded a podcast episode with an ad in it, and they track that IP address for 60 days to see if they visited...2023-05-1902 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Sales Tip - Communicate with the CMO and CSO To Maximize Campaign Results
I have worked in all aspects of C-level positions over my 35+ year career with an emphasis in accounting, finance, growth, partnerships, biz dev, media, and sales - I prefer to work with partners who bring their marketing and sales leaders to the first strategy meeting. And here are my top 3 reasons why this will maximize campaign results.
I find it common at several companies for their sales and marketing teams to have different agendas and not be fully aligned in working on the same goals, or they are just too busy to communicate regularly. It always baffles me...2023-05-1202 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)What Brands Should Do In Uncertain Times
Brand marketing is an easy target that CMOs face pressure to minimize in times of uncertainty. Since the explosion of inflation last year, major cuts in the tech sector, the Russian/Ukrainian war, and the escalating political issues in the US and frankly everywhere. Brands are struggling to make decisions, and marketing is the first place they cut. CMOs resist cutting their budgets because how else do you expect to remain relevant and meet long-term goals if you are not marketing your brand?
Research indicates that reducing brand marketing budgets in downturns backfires, and the minimal savings...2023-05-0502 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Dynamic Ads versus Host-Read Facts #1
I've been reading about podcast advertising and its decline since its boom in the pandemic. A record number of podcasts launched and monetized during the pandemic, and several are closing now that it's over. Actors, athletes, and anyone stuck at home, the entire world, launched a podcast during COVID, and now there is a downturn as people are realizing that podcasting takes time, commitment, an audience, and hosts who have something to say that have an audience who wants to hear from.

Let's talk about advertising copy. TWiT.tv provides a full-service continuity team that includes ad copywriting. However, many of our partners choose to supply us with their internal ad copy. Often, these copies are mass-produced and not tailored to our highly qualified audience, which causes them to fall flat in conversions. Our audience is curious and willing to try.

When we think of keeping people happy, we have a tendency to overthink it. The same thing applies to your clients. It's not as complicated as you might think, but there are some important things to consider. Here are six steps to keeping your clients happy.
Present Clear Terms and Expectations. When starting out the relationship between yourself/your company and your client, it's important to be clear about what you offer. For example, someone will generally not be pleased if they expect a yacht and get a canoe. This is an extreme example, but the point is...2023-01-2702 min

July 1, Californians will join many other states and countries in requiring drivers to use handsfree devices when talking on their cell phones. I called Bill using the Jawbone today.
I currently use the BlueAnt Supertooth Light in my car. It has its own speaker and mic and attaches to the visor. It works pretty well, although I can't vouch for what it sounds like to my callers.
Another system that requires no installation but uses your car speakers is The Tooth Pik.

2006-04-1616 minThe Laporte Report (Audio)Leo on KFI with Wayne Resnick: TiVo Wins! - TiVo gets a second life at the ninth hour.
Leo Laporte on the Bill Handel Show, KFI AM 640, Los Angeles, 7:50am, April 14, 2006
TiVo gets a second life at the ninth hour. A jury has awarded TiVo $74 million in its lawsuit against the DISH Network (Echostar). That means TiVo effectively owns the patents to the key technologies for DVRs (digital video recorders) including the ability to pause, rewind, and fast forward live programming.
TiVo probably wouldn't have survived losing this lawsuit. Now all DVR manufacturers will have to license their technology from TiVo.
Echostar plans to appeal.

Tech News for March 25, 2006Microsoft says the consumer version of Vista (the next Windows) won't be out until 2007. Another major setback for this troubled release. Analysts say this could be good for Apple.
France legalizes music piracy... sort of. Will Apple pull out?
Amazon is taking heat for suggesting "adoption" books when searched for "abortion".
