After years of chasing traffic on social platforms, millennial-focused publisher Mic has changed its approach, measuring editorial content by time spent rather than view counts and publishing half as much to Facebook as it did a year ago. To get people more interested in Watch shows, Facebook will test running trailers in users' news feeds that preview these programs. As part of a renewal of an original content and advertising deal, Viacom and Snap are working together to create new shows that would feature top Snapchat stars. "Investors want to hear about hockey-stick growth." Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall discusses the downside of venture capital, TPM's subscription business and more on the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast. From Glossy: American Apparel is attempting to make a comeback, scaling down its inventory, adjusting its approach to sex appeal, testing new digital tactics and listening to consumer feedback. |
