I should see how many years in a row I’ve recycled that ad tech tax joke. Diets take time, so we’re still working on tightening up the newsletter while providing the same amount of info. Would love to hear what you think about the new format.

Kinda in order of importance (and not necessarily in chronological order):

Quotes/Ideas/flotsam from this past week that are sticking with me:
It wouldn’t get built if you wouldn’t buy it. Drive quality ad experiences by buying quality ad experiences.

Joy Robins, New York Times: “First dollar goes to journalism, the next dollar goes to the ad side” (something like that. #audiencefirst regardless).

“You can’t count eye contact on the Tube as a relationship, much like you can’t count someone visiting your site for one page as an engaged user. Pubs can be worse than middle-school boys trying to impress their friends with their almost sexual conquests.” – Rob Beeler prepping for Navigator London.
