<p class="">Well, it was a long, cruel winter. But we’re back!</p><p class="">Speaking of long and cruel—for a lot of us in adland, the procurement process can feel like a long, cold winter night after the warm fireside singalong of a new business win. </p><p class="">But it doesn’t have to be that way. </p><p class="">Procurement can be an ally—if you take the time to understand their role at the client, what the discipline values and the language they use to communicate their needs. </p><p class="">In an effort to foster greater client-agency understanding, we hosted David Stowe on the podcast this month. Dave’s an experienced, senior procurement leader, and he did a great job breaking down exactly how procurement thinks, what they’re looking for, and how best to work together with them.</p><p class="">So pull up a chair, put on your headphones, and listen to Dave: Hopefully, it’ll start you on the road to more effective encounters with this vital—but often misunderstood—department.</p>]]></content:encoded><itunes:author>Chris Runge</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Procurement: Who they are and what they want</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>We take a closer look at procurement</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122/1552957156713-5RB1ILU6EA1DD2AK756W/Add+a+heading-1.png?format=1500w"/><itunes:title>Study Hall: Episode 12</itunes:title><enclosure length="76792812" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122/t/5e7bf6e8b9cc7121ff034883/1585182595701/Study+Hall+12-Edit.mp3"/><media:content isDefault="true" length="76792812" medium="audio" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122/t/5e7bf6e8b9cc7121ff034883/1585182595701/Study+Hall+12-Edit.mp3"><media:title type="plain">Study Hall: Episode 12</media:title></media:content><dc:creator>christopher.runge@douglasrunge.com (Christopher Runge)</dc:creator><itunes:keywords>Advertising,marketing,creative,direction,media,copywriting,art,direction</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>Study Hall (Episode 11): Leading a Pharma Startup: Interview with Dr. Terence Kelly</title><category>Leadership</category><category>Pharma</category><category>Business</category><pubDate>Mon, 27 May 2019 22:14:56 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.d-and-r.com/news-notes/2019/5/27/study-hall-episode-11-leading-a-biotech-startup-interview-with-dr-terrence-kelly</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122:5ab8f50f2b6a28ac08027556:5cec338724a69431131ae4b8</guid><description><![CDATA[<figure class="

That was a rough one. </p><p>Not going to sugar-coat it: Frenemies is a great idea for a book (<em>the media we love runs on advertising…and advertising is struggling to adapt to a changing media environment</em>…) that’s pretty poorly executed. </p><p>As I slammed into the second half of the book, everything bogged down. Chapters kept wandering around, with thoughts starting and stopping, information, data and themes popping up at random, disconnected places, and always M. Kassan offering his opinion on things: Basically “Be very scared! Hire me!”  No. Matter. What.</p><p>About the only thing that was EASY to get out of the 2nd half was the M. Kassan sales pitch.</p><p>Worse, there was little discussion of the really successful advertising frenemies, consulting firms (ahem) and internal creative shops.</p><p>Even worse than that, there was no discussion of the alt-media (for lack of a better term); the people—like Tim Pool and Joe Rogan—that are eating the legacy media’s lunch. You can’t talk about modern advertising without talking about those people—they are experimenting with ultra-low-cost content generation AND advertising. They are indispensable voices. And they’re nowhere to be found. (And don’t tell me they’re too new—they were on the scene in 2016!)</p><p>Good Lord, am I glad to see the back of that book.</p><p>Ok—show notes!</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p>Tim Pool on Joe Rogan talking about internet traffic stats <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RJgFVbCx4Q">here</a></p></li><li><p>Entire Pool/Rogan interview <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02ux1dKNPXo">here</a></p></li><li><p>Pool on the Vice layoffs <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmlCamYLCEM">here</a></p></li><li><p>Drake meme in the wild <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/afvs6m/when_youre_too_lazy_to_reach_for_the_mouse/">here</a></p></li><li><p>Drake meme on hotel door <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/ami59c/these_door_cards_in_my_hotel/">here</a></p></li><li><p>Shameless plug for myself writing in <em>Ad Age</em> a long time ago about how the internet was going to decentralize authority right…<a href="https://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/learn-pharmaceutical-advertising/147704/">here</a></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true"></p></li></ul>

It’s a great book—although Part 5 is a little bit weaker than the rest of the book, as Wu misses the opportunity to draw stronger parallels between the digital age and the print, radio and TV ages (they’re there!). </p><p>Wu finishes strong, with a call for a “rewilding” of our attention, a movement to take back our time from commercial attention-gathering and focus on things that actually matter. And who can argue with that? (I can…a little: Not sure that legislation is the answer! SOME, very carefully drafted legislation could help, but the challengeof controlling your attention requires a much more sustained, individual effort—in which, unfortunately, the state can’t be much help.)</p>]]></content:encoded><itunes:author>Chris Runge</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>The Attention Merchants 5/5</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>Final installment of the book review.</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122/1545141635580-F5AR064GFB7CZJXK3JHO/Slide1.jpeg?format=1500w"/><itunes:title>Study Hall Ep. 7</itunes:title><enclosure length="56891268" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122/t/5c0e6c9f8985834387438064/1544449307066/Study+Hall+7-+12%3A10%3A18%2C+8.29+AM.mp3"/><media:content isDefault="true" length="56891268" medium="audio" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122/t/5c0e6c9f8985834387438064/1544449307066/Study+Hall+7-+12%3A10%3A18%2C+8.29+AM.mp3"><media:title type="plain">Study Hall Ep. 7</media:title></media:content><dc:creator>christopher.runge@douglasrunge.com (Christopher Runge)</dc:creator><itunes:keywords>Advertising,marketing,creative,direction,media,copywriting,art,direction</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>Study Hall (Episode 6a): Conversation with Scott Costin and Robyn Douglas (Part 2)</title><category>book review</category><category>Business</category><category>creative direction</category><category>Interview</category><category>marketing</category><category>podcast</category><pubDate>Thu, 27 Sep 2018 14:12:19 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.d-and-r.com/news-notes/2018/9/27/study-hall-episode-6a-conversation-with-scott-costin-and-robyn-douglas</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5ab8ed97f93fd4e09ae60122:5ab8f50f2b6a28ac08027556:5bacca01f4e1fc46b2e98599</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Part 2 of our interview with Scott Costin, author of <em>The Doctor Won’t See You Now</em>.
