We need to find a new way of looking at Media. So what’s common/different between Mobile and Fixed content delivery mechanisms.. There’s a huge device diaspora. Another trend:...

The key idea here: 1) Audiences trust niche sites as much as large sites. 2) Use these niche sites and build specific relationships with them. 3) Try not to use ad networks who don’t maximize value

This is admittedly (by Adrian himself) a very big title, for news companies. These are ideas that news companies aren’t looking at yet.

Sacred Cows to be debunked. A confession of sorts. (Deuno is a small creative shop in Chicago) “The future doesn’t fit the boxes of the present. 1) Idea Buffets rarely maximize creativity Neither does the Omakase approach (Chef’s choice) Its about the idea process: Ad agencies are good at divergent ideation.
