Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: The confirmation-bias battle continues


I’ve had my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for a few days and I can say without hesitation that this is an awesome device. It’s aesthetically beautiful, it’s fast, it’s powerful, and it’s packed with small improvements that combine to make the Note 9 a best-in-class Android handheld.

General impressions

I really like the Note 9. It is a case study in continuous improvement, which is clearly Samsung’s innovation strategy. There isn’t one “blow your mind” new feature, but each aspect of the Note 9 has been improved. When taken together, this combination of improvements makes the Note 9 a serious standout in a crowded room of Android phones.

GDPR at the minimum: The data security reality you should know


As companies grow and evolve, the processes within them rarely grow and evolve to keep pace. Workarounds become abundant, managers make compromises and practices that might look shady in the public eye grow far too common. Although you might have addressed GDPR’s rules, that doesn’t mean you are safe from compliance penalties.

Most companies already have security issues, even if their leaders think they’re safe. For example, URL structures sometimes capture and display customer information in the address bar. On websites with internal search options, users often include personal information such as ZIP codes in their searches. Those queries travel from search bar to analytics tool to content management system.

When personal information makes that journey, it usually slips past traditional privacy screenings. Even chatbots and messaging systems can create data collection issues when customers send personally identifying information, such as Social Security numbers, through chat interfaces.

MDC Partners' KBS merges with Forsman & Bodenfors


In yet another major change at MDC Partners, Forsman & Bodenfors and Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners are being combined under one brand. The joint entity will now be called Forsman & Bodenfors, retiring the KBS name.

Anna Qvennerstedt, chairman of Forsman & Bodenfors, the Swedish hotshop acquired by MDC in 2016, becomes global executive chairman of the combined agencies. Qvennerstedt will oversee the board along with KBS global CEO Guy Hayward, who retains that title in the merged agancy. Silla Levin will continue to lead Forsman & Bodenfors Sweden as CEO. KBS president Mike Densmore will become F&B New York president.

The move eliminates the KBS moniker, which has been around in one form or another since 1987 when the original founders, Jon Bond and Richard Kirshenbaum — then referred to as “ad brats” — opened a shop known for bleeding-edge creative on brands like No Excuses, Moet & Chandon and Snapple before selling a stake to MDC in 2004. Five years later, the name was changed to KBS after Lori Senecal joined as president-CEO. Senecal, who later moved to global CEO at sibling CP&B, retired from advertising last year.
