  • Great Local Media Podcast

    Great podcast for informative, data-driven, and timely analysis on the local media landscape. Their survey data from local advertisers is extremely beneficial to any media, ad tech platform, or agency working to super-serve local businesses.

    Hey Amazon is a local threat u should pay attention to despite our guest pointing out that they abandoned Local Deals 3 yrs ago!

    Did hosts ever realize they were referring to two completely different things ( Amzn partner tools/agencies vs consumer-facing products ) ?

  • This podcast isn't for you. Unless you want to win at local advertising!

    First of all, know that Borrell Associates collectively, and Gordon and Corey specifically, know their stuff cold when it comes to local media advertising. Their annual SMB survey administered through their media company partners is relevant, timely and accurate. And, it's data no media company I know can get their advertisers to share with them. So, Gordon and Corey are established experts in the data, forecasting, consulting and relevance of local media advertising- across multiple media.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Small Local to Big Global: Jelly Belly Creator Tells His Story
Q: What was the pivotal moment that helped Jelly Belly break into mainstream distribution?
The pivotal moment was Klein's interaction with the Associated Press, which generated widespread coverage and lent credibility, leading retailers to stock Jelly Belly without costly traditional advertising.
As AI Search Explodes, What Happens to SEO Budgets?
Q: Are dollars from SEO converting over to AI optimization or are they additive?
Early data suggests a mix: some advertisers view AI optimization as an additional channel on top of SEO, while others see it as a reallocation of spend from existing channels, with SEO remaining a leading efficiency factor.
As AI Search Explodes, What Happens to SEO Budgets?
Q: What should the folks on the sales side of the equation do? Should they be actively having those conversations? Is your product ready for them to deliver?
Yes. If clients aren't asking for it yet, they're likely getting asked by someone else, and agencies should start the conversations around AI optimization and SEO aimed at the AI engines to stay competitive.
Defying Gravity, Out of Home is Set for Even Bigger Growth
Q: Dave, tell us how someone gets in touch with you or Vistar Media if they're interested.
You can reach me at dave@vistarmedia.com, and I'll definitely respond to discuss what's going on in the out-of-home space.
Will Relaxing Media Ownership Rules Benefit Local Advertisers?
Q: What do all these ownership rules mean for local businesses?
David explains that the rules historically limited how many stations a company could own in a market or nationwide, with the aim of preserving localism and preventing undue influence, but with market changes and digital competition, the balance is shifting toward allowing larger ownership to help scale local broadcasters while still raising concerns about local control and diversity of viewpoints.
