On this week’s M&W Podcast we summarize our analysis of high ad-intensity categories of imports, the specific impact of announced tariff policies on Amazon, Meta and the broader industry, review Stagwell’s investor day and look at new data we published around independent agencies. Plus, on this week's podcast, our Advertising 101 series continues with a focus on local TV and radio buying with Janice Finkel-Greene, a former IPG executive and consultant to measurement companies. This follows the past six weeks where we started diving into the role of agencies on Ep. 23 with Macquarie Securities' Tim Nollen, Ep. 24 with Heartmore's Carl Hartman where we focused on the function of the global account lead, on Ep. 25 on media agencies with Boston University professor Janna Greenberg, on Ep. 26 on media planning with Scott Wensman and Ep. 27 on media research with Stacey Schulman and Ep. 28 on national + CTV advertising with Todd Gordon. Our first six parts focused on marketers and how they allocate resources (you can listen to these interviews on episodes 17-22 of The M&W podcast).
