In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Robert and Joe discuss the sale of content advertising agency Story Worldwide to Next Fifteen.  That flows really well into an interview with the CEO of Omnicom, who is suggesting to his clients that they put 10-25% of their TV dollars into digital (here comes the content gap). The boys also discuss how HuffPost is seeing 30% of their revenues as content services.  Rants and raves include a must-see video from Harlan Ellison on writers getting paid.  This week's TOM example: the space program.
