Here's Why The World's Biggest Brands Are Blacklisting Breitbart

Here's Why The World's Biggest Brands Are Blacklisting Breitbart | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
“Many of our global clients have already requested that we block this site on our activity.”


An employee for the agency described it to BuzzFeed News as a “preventative measure”, as online advertising is assigned to websites algorithmically.
Omnicom handpicks the sites their clients’ ads run on, which is known as a whitelist, whereas ad exchanges or networks such as Google’s typically work on a blacklist where brands specify which sites not to run on.


The email from management added: “If you are running activity through ad networks such as MediaIQ/Regital, Quantcast & RocketFuel it is worth reaching out to your rep and making sure Breitbart is blacklisted and request a URL level site report over the past 30 days which all should be able to provide.”...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Many global advertisers have blacklisted Breitbart News. Some clicks can hurt your reputation.

A transcript of Donald Trump’s meeting with The Washington Post editorial board

A transcript of Donald Trump’s meeting with The Washington Post editorial board | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The Republican frontrunner met with the editorial board on Monday morning. The full transcript follows at the link above:

 

FREDERICK RYAN JR., WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHER: Mr. Trump, welcome to the Washington Post. Thank you for making time to meet with our editorial board.

 

DONALD TRUMP: New building. Yes this is very nice. Good luck with it.

 

RYAN: Thank you… We’ve heard you’re going to be announcing your foreign policy team shortly… Any you can share with us?

 

TRUMP: Well, I hadn’t thought of doing it, but if you want I can give you some of the names… Walid Phares, who you probably know, PhD, adviser to the House of Representatives caucus, and counter-terrorism expert; Carter Page, PhD; George Papadopoulos, he’s an energy and oil consultant, excellent guy; the Honorable Joe Schmitz, [former] inspector general at the Department of Defense; [retired] Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; and I have quite a few more. But that’s a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do, but that’s a representative group....

 

Jeff Domansky's insight:

I thought they had quit making episodes of the Twilight Zone. If you enjoy politics, this will keep you entertained. One lesson though for PR and public affairs pros. Who suggested he meet with an obviously hostile crowd? There was no possible win here for Trump given his lack of substance and who he was meeting. Recommended reading. 11/10   ;-)
