  • 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.
