IN THE NEWS
Brand values are key as consumers demand accountability on mis- and dis-information, according to DoubleVerify’s report, “Four Fundamental Shifts in Advertising and Media.” The majority of consumers (68%) are concerned that levels of mis/disinformation are increasing, and 61% say they would be less likely to purchase/use the brand again if they saw it advertised next to content that they determined to be mis/disinformation. “This study highlights that consumer consumption habits are evolving in response to macro social and economic trends—from intensifying concerns about inflammatory or polarizing content, to a continued shift in the platforms and channels consumers are turning to for content consumption,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Brands must react to these changing habits to ensure they reach the right audiences as efficiently as possible and maximize their digital investments.”
Amazon employees who read Monday’s New York Times are bracing for possible job cuts as early as this week. According to the Times, Amazon reportedly plans to lay off about 10,000 employees in its devices, retail and human resource divisions. That would represent about 3% of the company’s corporate staffers – a fraction of the 50% of jobs slashed at Twitter and 13% cut at Meta but a reflection of the toll the economy has taken on the tech sector.
Notes from LA’s Vulture Festival: “In the best sense of the word ‘done,’ I am done.” said Jamie Lee Curtis on the ending of the “Halloween” trilogy, which wrapped with “Halloween Ends” this year. “I have cried my tears, I’ve folded my bell bottoms and my little blue shirt.”…For his next role, “Barry” actor Henry Winkler said he is open to reprising his first Barry role: Barry Zuckerkorn, the Bluth family lawyer on “Arrested Development.”… Jake Borelli shared details about the case of real-life appendicitis he suffered on the set of “Grey’s Anatomy.” After experiencing symptoms that felt like acid reflux, Borelli, who plays Dr. Levi Schmitt, said the show’s medical advisor, Michael Metzner, realized something was wrong and took him to the real ER for an emergency appendectomy. “It was nutso,” said Borelli. “He literally saved my life.”
