The advertising landscape is rapidly evolving. Kristen Scholer sits down with David Sable, Global CEO of Y&R, to discuss the outlook for marketing in 2018. Sable says the industry has been too focused on digital, and expects advertisers to get back to marketing.
Sable gives us his thoughts on the success of ad targeting. He says the winners in this area for 2018 will include Facebook, and that we cannot count out Snap. The ad executive approves of Evan Spiegel's decision to separate social from media. He thinks the redesign is "brilliant," and is curious how many companies will follow that strategy.
Outside of the digital ad giants Google and Facebook, Sable sees strong potential for LinkedIn. He says the professional network has the most differentiated position and expects good things from them.
Much like all the upheaval shaking the world, the huge swings rocking Wall Street may feel far from normal. But, for investing at least, this is normal.

A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
