21 - Changes in Big Tech: Privacy, Advertising and Social Media Updates
Episode 021
On today’s show, Chris and April are covering some recent changes from leaders in Big Tech. They’re chatting about Meta’s privacy updates around the world, the lack-luster release of Apple’s iOS 16 and how Amazon’s new advertising offering is poised to rival Facebook. Our hosts also debate the relevance of dark social media channels for marketers, discuss the impact of the latest lawsuit against Instagram over negative mental health impacts in children, and spar over the fate of Elon Musk’s pending Twitter deal. For “Cash or Trash?” this week, your favorite dynamic duo analyzes new campaigns including: Taco Bell’s new Minnesota restaurant location; Chevrolet’s ill-conceived texting game campaign against distracted driving; Heineken’s high-tech bottle opener that claims to close your work applications; and Velveeta’s cheese-scented nail polish.
