Jack Benjamin and Omar Oakes are back to review the big media business news of the week, starting with the launch of Origin, Isba’s world-first cross-media measurement tool.
It may be billed as a “beta” launch with a limited pool of 35 advertisers, but Oakes explains why “as far as Isba is concerned, Origin is now officially launched”.
The Media Leader duo also discuss ITV’s first-ever generative-AI ads created for small businesses, Roblox’s progression into advertising and The London Standard‘s decision to revive a dead art critic.
