Twitter follows Facebook in endorsing the Honest Ads Act
Posted in: Uncategorized
Twitter said the Honest Ads Act, which would require broader disclosures in online political advertising, “provides an appropriate framework” for ensuring transparency in digital ads, and the company will work with legislators to “refine and advance” the proposal.
In a tweet on its public policy feed on Tuesday, the social media company effectively embraced the idea of some form of regulation of internet ads. The Honest Ads Act, a Senate bill introduced last year with bipartisan co-sponsors, would subject online political ads to the same sort of disclosure rules that now govern similar content in other media such as TV and radio.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg endorsed the Honest Ads Act on Friday. Both social media companies have been seeking to respond to revelations that Russian operatives used their platforms to spread discord in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and concerns that they may continue to use the sites to try to influence upcoming campaigns.

Q&AA: Jared Leto reflects on 'America,' apps and creativity
Posted in: Uncategorized
Cowgirl, Doggy, Face, Sixty-Nine and The Crab. These five popular sex positions, according to AskMen, are the words that are listed on one of the multiple covers of the new album, “America,” from Jared Leto’s band Thirty Seconds to Mars.
They’re provocative words, and a provocative title, for the band’s first album in five years, especially during these times of political divisiveness and cultural upheaval. To promote the album, which dropped last week, Letowho got his start playing the teen heartthrob, Jordan Catalano, in “My So-Called Life”helped design the covers, which list various “American things,” says Leto, meant to serve as a time capsule of sorts.
There’s a list highlighting the most profitable prescription drugs by sale (Humira, Abilify, Sovaldi and Crestor) and another citing the most valuable trademarks (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Walmart and IBM). There’s also one calling out four of the hot topics in America (A.I., bitcoin, fake news and, of course, Russia).

Miss Zuckerberg's Senate testimony? These 8 GIFs and memes sum it up nicely in mere seconds
Posted in: Uncategorized
Ad Age’s Garett Sloane has a helpful post titled “6 critical moments from Mark Zuckerberg’s day in the Senate”but fair warning, it’s mostly made up of words.
If his post is too wordy for you, you’ll be pleased to know that an entire cottage industry of gif-creation and meme-making has sprung up around the Facebook CEO’s star turn on Capitol Hill.
The bottom line: Mark Zuckerberg is not human. He’s probably an android. Or maybe a reptile. Oh, and he’s short. Plus he knows everything about us. And in the end, he will prevail.

Procter & Gamble Co. wants its agencies closer to home, and WPP’s Grey is obliging by opening Grey Midwest in Cincinnati, combining the former Possible office there with new e-commerce, shopper and production operations.

Possible was once among the largest ad agencies in Cincinnati, counting 30 P&G brands as clients, but it downsized in 2016 after losing accounts that included J.M. Smucker brandssome of them former P&G brands such as Folgers and Jif.
