Richard Edelman's got a new plan, moves for Chris Talago and Chris Hides

Ben's list w/e 25/20: 

I spend too much of my week touring around the internet, Twitter and LinkedIn - basically being nosey. So this weekly highlights tour (if it can really be described as that!) is my attempt to justify that time.

My plan is to reference a few things I've seen during the week that some of you with proper jobs might have missed.

# Richard Edelman introduces Edelman's new Action Communciation approach at the PRCA National Conference.

# Chris Talago leaves Oracle to go to Amazon Web Services

# Chris Hides leaves M&C Saatchi talk to move to The Academy as MD

# Don't Cry Wolf launch a new report looking at the impact of the pandemic on marketing called BRANDS IN RECOVERY

Headlines for the report include:

  • CMOs are facing budget cuts of up to 25% in 2021 as a result of COVID-19.
  • More than a third of marketing bosses have prioritised digital marketing as a means of making up revenue shortfalls caused by lockdown.
  • This is despite two-thirds acknowledging a mismatch in expectations between brands and consumers since the outset of the pandemic.
