Imagine bike rides…

Isobar, Firstborn Join Forces to Increase Competitive Edge


Dentsu Aegis Network U.S. agency Firstborn has joined the global network of sibling shop Isobar, helping to expand the breadth and depth of the agencies’ digital, design and technology offerings.

The shops will operate under one P&L, which “changes the incentive,” said Isobar U.S. Co-CEO Geoff Cubitt.

“We will pitch as separate agencies and continue to have our own clients, but we’ll also jointly pitch together and be able to win business that we may not have been able to win before,” said Dan LaCivita, who will continue to serve in his role as CEO of Firstborn. He will also join the Isobar U.S. management team.

Monday Morning Stir

The March on Austin: Washington Casts a Shadow on SXSW


The South by Southwest Interactive Festival promises to have a very different tone than last year, when then-President Obama was warmly welcomed for a keynote presentation on civic engagement in the 21st century. For the creators, marketers and entrepreneurs descending this weekend on Austin, Texas, politics in the wake of President Trump will surely be top of mind, perhaps even overshadowing some of the innovation in virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Instead of undermining the value for marketers eager to enlist technology in their work, however, the dynamic might highlight connections that are increasingly important to recognize.

“Rather than a piece of technology or launch of a new app, this year’s conference will really be about the way all the things happening in politics are being threaded through what everyone does,” said David Grant, president of PopSugar Studios, the video unit at publisher PopSugar. “While in the past typically the focus is on a few new toys to play with, this year it is about how do these new toys affect journalism access and the ability to distinguish between real and fake news?”

From New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s opening keynote to a panel on sexual harassment and gender bias in the advertising industry, social impact and civic activism will be a running theme throughout the music, film and entertainment confab.
