WATCH OUT!! Lawmakers are looking to change privacy laws that internet advertising is so dependent on to do what we do. Research has proven that in-order for online advertising to work you gotta get results that are quantifiable, whether it’s stats or behavioral data. Did you know the online ad biz is as important as small farms are to the U.S economy? Me neither. I’m thinking the government may want to layoff the big boy that contributes $300m to bottom line. Take a look at this slightly corny short and research that was conducted to see just how they don’t wanna piece of us.

Recently, London documents implying “a global arrangement involving kickbacks, bid-rigging, discounts and client over-billing”” by Grey Group will now be sealed forever.

LONDON – It was a disappointing evening for UK advertising agencies at this year’s D&AD Awards, with just three UK agencies picking up yellow Pencils.
LONDON – Another year and another set of D&AD Pencils handed out – four black and 50 yellow in total. Seeing such a diverse range of work on show as we did last night would, I hope, put a spring in the step of anyone in this industry. Congratulations to all the winners – your work excited and inspired the toughest bunch of creatives out there.
LONDON (AdAge.com) — The U.S. was the biggest winner at the U.K.'s most prestigious advertising awards ceremony, D&AD, in London.
MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — While it may seem the "D" in DTV stands for delay, of course it signifies digital, which is how signals will be sent out once the analog spectrum switches Friday night. The delay, derided by some as yet another "nanny state" hand-holding for procrastinators, was put to good use, however, as the number of homes Nielsen considers "completely unready" shrank from 5.8 million to 2.8 million. So more people are ready. Are broadcasters?

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — The U.S. media industry has cut 87,200 jobs since the recession began in December 2007, according to an Ad Age DataCenter analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But one media agency that's in the enviable position of growing during this downturn used its good fortune to try to help some of those less fortunate in the business.
