Content Marketing with Pulizzi and Rose

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss the latest quarterly results from WPP and how the slowing of advertising could mark something more than a cyclical blip.

Rants and raves include Australia (yes, the entire continent) and U-Haul Trucks. This week's TOM example - CTO Advisor.
