PNR 162: Fake News and Why It Spells Opportunity for Brands

In this Christmas edition of This Old Marketing, Joe and Robert discuss Facebook's new process around fake news, and why it may prove to be a rather large opportunity for content-driven brands. In other news, the boys discuss why your body of work matters, why some research is really bad and the business models behind sponsored content.  Rants and raves include David Copperfield and a new Altimeter report.  This week's TOM example: Openview Venture Partners.
