Netflix ordered Kids & Family original series The Letter For The King. Based on Tonke Dragt’s medieval adventure novel, it’s the streaming giant’s first Dutch book adaption. FX ordered a second season of dance musical Pose, set to debut in 2019. “Ryan Murphy has once again revolutionized television with Pose, an incredibly engaging story of creativity, courage, compassion, love and family at a pivotal time in our culture,” said John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions. “As television critics have universally acknowledged, there is simply nothing like Pose on TV.” Pose and Vikings EP Sherry Marsh joined forces with Federation Entertainment to develop a drama based on Cristina Alger’s forthcoming novel The Banker’s Wife. The thriller, set in the world of global finance, centers on two women racing for answers when a mysterious plane crash sets them off on the pursuit of the truth.

Google is pushing automation and wants search marketers to commit to it. The company recently introduced a responsive search ad optimization tool. “We have seen the growth of machine learning and artificial intelligence give way to a tremendous amount of automation that can be used as building blocks,” said Jessie Dearien, Vice President, head of paid search at iProspect. Over the past couple of months, IProspect has been testing Google Responsive Search Ads with several advertisers. The tool allows the ability to make granular decisions with the power of machines. Kantar Media study Dimensions, conducted between November 30 and December 12, 2017 among 1000 Americans and 5000 in Brazil, China, France and the U.K. revealed that heavy internet users are more likely to use software that blocks ads. However, they are also significantly more likely (at 18%) than the average person (at 0.9%) to say advertising is important to their purchasing behavior. Poor creative and lack of relevance to the consumer are the top reasons people still block ads. Other reasons include brands that continue serving the same ad even after the consumer buys the product. Another issue among 72% of consumers was seeing the same ad repeatedly. Omni Group unveiled a new people-based precision marketing and insight platform dubbed “Omni.” It’s a new effort by a holding company to drive personalized consumer experience at scale and follows the recent acquisition of Acxiom by Interpublic, which was also aimed at boosting precision marketing capabilities. The Omnicom platform is designed to target individuals across creative, media, CRM and other practice areas.
