Although Facebook has been slammed on a number of fronts, it appears to be unstoppable.
As the latest earning results demonstrate, there seems to be no controversy that will get in the way of Facebook’s progress and social media domination.
“It’s not that we don’t care, we choose to overlook,” said my friend Tom Webster on our latest episode of The Marketing Companion. Will Facebook become a permanent fixture in our lives?
In this latest edition of our podcast, we look at some of the biggest issues in the news today including:
- The significance of the dramatic rise in private messaging apps and the implication for marketing (there are 100 billion Facebook Messenger messages a day!)
- The toxic culture at Google that is out of control and eating away at its business
- Family-friendly Alexa — what a great idea!
This is such a fun and energizing discussion and you won’t want to miss it. It’s just so easy … click here to listen:
