One calendar year later from our “Privacy, CES, & Christmas Fish” episode and your Human Element hosts and producer are back with a look at the entire year of pods (with some holidays memories along the way).

Haley Paas, SVP, Head of Strategy and Insights and Kara Lazarus, SVP Head of Investment at Carat join us for a deep dive into the evolving media landscape and what to expect in 2020.

In this special edition of the pod we sit down with Angela Steele, newly appointed Carat US CEO about her inspiration, role models and early priorities for Carat US.

We turned this episode into the Thanksgiving riff, from favorite foods to memories, and an insider look into the biggest travel holiday of the year.

We are joined by Sarah Stringer, SVP Head of Innovation at Carat US for an impromptu discussion around current events (OTT launches, Political ad bans, even the “ok, Boomer” movement) and the unavoidable implications and impacts they have on marketing.

We are joined by Christine Pineiro, EVP Managing Director and Ryan Persaud, VP Director Planning for a special pod around Carat’s key day-to-day function: media planning. We discuss the evolution of the discipline as well as the skills needed to be planners in the future.
