The Bloomberg digital strategy is spot on, but their choice to enter in the debate was a mistake.
The most dangerous thing about great advertising is that it brings awareness to your product. If your product isn't good, you're going to be in trouble (e.g. Bloomberg's very poor performance last night.)

Bald Jason Momoa was just one example of 2020 Super Bowl ads being more weird than funny. Does this make the case for a decline in The Super Bowl ad spot?
06/02/2020
Super Bowl ads have always been unexpected and boundary pushing. We all remember the GoDaddy girl, the Budweiser Frogs, and of course WAZZZZUUUPPPP. Now it feels like agency creative teams are using an IP slot machine.

Amazon Prime Day was a huge success for Amazon, as they beat two major shopping holidays. Did we mention it was both of them combined? Yeah, Amazon did that.
Facebook to create a content oversight board but with the money and power they have, we think they could they do more. Why not make an oversight board for all platforms with representation from all parties?
LinkedIn is getting closer to becoming the next Facebook and it's not just because of the LinkedIn Live video feature. Their ad platform is pretty good too.
