Mayer’s Vision for Yahoo: Small Deals, More Ad Automation


Yahoo slightly exceeded analysts’ expectations when it announced its third-quarter earnings on Monday, but the financial results were the undercard to the main event: Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s first public articulation of her plan for Yahoo, which hired her back in July to breathe new life into a portal that’s been treading water for years.

Revenue for the quarter excluding traffic-acquisition costs rose 2% to $1.09 billion from $1.07 billion, slightly beating estimates of $1.08 billion. Net earnings per share were 35 cents, up 66% from 21 cents in the year-ago period, excluding the $2.8 billion windfall that came from selling the company’s shares in Alibaba. Analysts were expecting 25 cents a share.

In a continued troubling sign, display revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs was flat at $452 million vs. $449 million, though display revenue in the Americas region registered modest growth of 4%. Yahoo Chief Financial Officer Ken Goldman said the gain could be attributed to increased direct sales. That said, remnant inventory sales were hurt by decreased available ad impressions related to less email usage, he said.

Timeline conta os 125 anos de história da Sony Music em um mural

A Sony Music está completando 125 anos. Para marcar a data, o designer Alex Fowkes criou The Sony Music Timeline, uma linha do tempo que conta a história da gravadora em um mural tipográfico de 150 metros quadrados, instalado no endereço londrino da Sony, na Derry Street.

No hotsite feito especialmente para apresentar a timeline, a vice-presidente de relações com a indústria da Sony, Emma Pike, conta que o briefing passado era:

“Trazer a inspiração da nossa música para o coração de nosso prédio e fazer com que nosso escritório viva e respire nosso incrível legado musical”.

Foi assim que surgiu a linha do tempo que cobre quase mil nomes de artistas que assinaram com a gravadora de 1887 até hoje – entre eles Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin, The Clash e Michael Jackson. Cá entre nós, eu não me incomodaria em trabalhar em um ambiente inspirador como esse.
