PNR 116: The Guardian Gets Aggressive with Native Advertising Terms

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss why publishing an article anywhere but Medium might be a good thing. PwC launches research about the state of content marketing in enterprises, and the Guardian goes "full monty" with labeling native advertising as paid content on their website. Rants and raves include the evolution of content marketing and Joe's level of exhaustion. Today's TOM Example: Chief Optimist by Xerox.
