My guest for this episode is Marla Skiko, Global Head of Media at Ford.

"The auto industry is in such an era of transformation right now, as people become more connected to their cars and other people. It is more about a software story than a hardware story"

This is a really fun episode. Marla has a fantastic perspective of the media industry, having worked in senior roles both within leading agencies and now with a leading global advertiser. Marla is one of the most articulate media leaders I have met and her energy and passion for media is truly infectious. 

"Hands down the best thing about media is the people who are in media. We care about doing great work and we care for each other"

In this episode, Marla shares her experiences leading the media team at Ford, which extends beyond advertising and considers the impact of connected vehicles and how that can transform customer relationships and how people buy and use cars. 

My guest for this episode is John Coyne, VP Brand Creative and Media at Intel.

 "Let your experts be the experts" is great leadership advice for managing agencies.

On the business "Our sales channels and categories changed dramatically due to COVID, we had to find different ways to sell in product and changed our model to support the new demand. Weeks and months of shifts that probably would have taken a few years....much more digital...we cannot go back to normal"

My guest for this episode is Marissa Lutz Tario, Director of Marketing IQ at VF Corporation which is the parent company for amazing footwear and apparel brands like VANS, Timberland, North Face, Supreme

Marissa has lead media operations for VF Corporation since 2015 and recently expanded that role to oversee a new initiative called Marketing IQ and she has a deep and broad view of the company's media activities. 

"Every single agency CEO talks about the same challenge; talent. Talent empowerment is the biggest challenge across all industries right now. "


My guest on this #MediaSnack Meets is Marla Kaplowitz, the CEO of the 4As. I've known Marla for many years since her previous leadership of agencies, Marla now heads up the leading agency trade organization in the US, the American Association of Advertising Agencies with over 600 agency members. 

A candid conversation with WFA's Robert Rakowitz. Rob leads the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) - a never-been-done-before industry alliance that brings together global marketers, media agencies, media owner platforms and industry associations to start working together to address consumer safety and societal health in ad-supported digital media. In this role, Rob is one part community builder-leader and one part catalyst-matchmaker. Rob helps identify existing best practices and align industry leaders in creating new solutions to address this challenge through “uncommon collaboration.”

The Global Alliance for Responsible Media was formed to identify specific collaborative actions, processes and protocols for protecting consumers and brands from safety issues. Alliance members will work collaboratively to identify actions that will better protect consumers online, working towards a media environment where hate speech, bullying and disinformation is challenged, where personal data is protected, and used responsibly when given, and where everyone is, especially children, better protected online. Alliance members acknowledge their collective power to significantly improve the health of the media ecosystem.
