Quotes:
Joe: “[Trump] has a content tilt, he’s got a hook, there’s a personality there, there’s a definite mission and stance that differentiates. Leverage the big social platforms…and then move to an owned property. That’s what every content creator needs to do.” (24:44)
Joe: “What’s gonna happen is you’re going to see Amex, Visa, Mastercard and the other ones start buying media sites, content creator sites. It’s going to be nuts!” (29:00)
Robert: “This is Facebook preparing [to be] broken up. And, moving to a more alphabet like structure where they have a parent company, which would be everything Facebook is right now, and then relegating Facebook to one of their companies when they get the order to divest themselves of something. It’ll make it easier for them to divest themselves of those. They could divest themselves willingly.” (36:07)
Robert: “it’s okay! We need to be okay with the fact that marketing technology is difficult… You have to learn it, get involved and become an expert at it. We shouldn’t shy away from that.” (47:18)
Joe: “That’s where we’re headed. You’re going to need to be technology savvy on the marketing side. And, we’re obviously not there yet.” (47:26)
