How Snapchat's pitching original shows to advertisers, The woke agency exec: Truffle Pig's Paul Marcum on being vocally anti-Trump, Thakoon's business restructuring is a blow to see-now-buy-now,
Daily eNL

Time Inc. has launched a string of digital experiments in recent years, but many of them have failed to gain real traction amid reorganizations, executive departures and a scarcity of resources.

Original shows on Snapchat Discover might be the differentiator Snap needs to fend off competition from Instagram, according to advertisers.

The woke exec: What tweeting about Trump taught Truffle Pig's Paul Marcum about marketing. "Fundamentally, I believe in American values that I don't think have changed."

When Thakoon Panichgul, designer of his eponymous line Thakoon, made the leap to a direct-to-consumer business model in September, the wholesale middleman was cut out entirely. Our sister site Glossy has the story.

Ajaz Ahmed was only 21 when he dropped out of college to start AKQA in 1994. Now, 20 years later, he talks about getting his start and shares some of his biggest lessons in advertising.

"It's less likely to annoy users." U.K. agencies see promise in Facebook's latest Snapchat clone.
