I do enjoy the game Risk. Having an app on my phone that I can play against has been a boon, as no human is willing to play with me anymore. Also, the app does all of the dice rolling and the math. All I have to do is decide where to attack, and look smug or close the app and declare, “This game doesn’t count” when things don’t go well.

Inspired by this amazing thread
I just returned from a two week book tour with marketers in the UK and Norway. If there was one topic that overshadowed most marketing conversations, it was GDPR.
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the sweeping new EU regulation on marketing data that will impact any company that offers goods or services to EU residents or tracks them for analytics or advertising purposes. That’s basically every global business. The regulation goes into affect in May 2018 and penalties are severe (up to 4% of annual global revenue).
While the awareness is lower outside of Europe (80% in a recent Dell survey said they knew little about GDPR), GDPR has massive implications worldwide. One study by Veritas Technologies said that 47% of global organizations have doubts they’ll meet the compliance deadline and 20% fear that GDPR could put them out of business. Another study reported that GDPR will make 75% of UK marketing data obsolete.
As GDPR awareness leads to panic and eventually to action, it will be interesting to see the impact on marketing and working with personal data in 2018.
Here are a few cartoons I’ve drawn over the years on marketing with personal data:
“Marketing with Personal Data” May 2014
“Sharing Personal Data with Marketers” July 2014
“Targeted Holiday Advertising” December 2014
Five days until Soonish launches! Come see us!
When the Trololo thing hit, I was working with a woman just a bit older than me who grew up in the Soviet Union.
Anyway, she remembered that guy, and his work, and assured us that his work was representative of the kind of thing that was on Soviet TV at the time.
Some of our coworkers felt superior. I, on the other hand, remembered Hee Haw, The Mike Douglas Show, and . . . (ugh) Shields and Yarnell. We are not as different as we sometimes like to think.
