NBC is hitting the ground running in 2018. The company is broadcasting the Golden Globes, the Super Bowl, and the Pyeongchang’s 2018 Winter Olympics. And to shake things up, the media giant is focusing on marrying digital and linear content strategies. The action plan’s goal is to give viewers whatever they need, whether they’re at home, work, or on the go. Linda Yaccarino, NBC Universal’s Chairwoman of Advertising Sales & Client Partnerships, says that next year, advertisers are concerned with content and dominance on all platforms. “It’s more of a multi-screen opportunity, [as opposed to] one versus the other,” she said. The executive told Cheddar that the hardest part of marketing to the modern consumer is not falling back on legacies of process and commitment. Consumers have drastically changed the way they absorb content and make purchasing decisions. Yaccarino, who manages $10 billion in ad sales, says marketers need to change up their strategies. “Buying, planning, and executing media happens today pretty much the same way it’s always happened,” she says. “We have to really challenge the industry processes to reflect consumer behavior.” For full interview [click here.] ( https://cheddar.com/videos/nbcuniversals-linda-yaccarino-expect-1-billion-in-revenue-for-2018-olympics)

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
