Strategy Leaders is moving to Thursdays
Letter from the editor
It’s been nearly a year since we launched Strategy Leaders, our weekly commitment to feature thought leadership, news and analysis about media strategy.
Please look out for it on your Thursday newsletter from next week. We’ve some exciting plans for the Tuesday edition which will be revealed very soon.
In the meantime, please sign up to The Media Leader‘s Daily newsletter, where we feature all the latest opinion, analysis and round-up the industry news all in one place. Our regular columnists include former Aviva marketer Jan Gooding, media agency founder Nick Manning, renowned strategist Laurence Green, strategy and transformation consultant Sabrina Clarke, and TV broadcast expert Stephen Arnell.
- Monday features my weekly column, 100% Media 0% Nonsense: this week I’ve written about how the link between recession and media appears to be changing.
- Tuesday (coming soon)
- Wednesday features the essential take on the business of journalism and broadcast media from former BBC Newswatch presenter and The Times media editor Raymond Snoddy, whose latest piece discusses the BBC’s decision to discontinue classified sport bulletins.
- Thursday (from next week) will feature Strategy Leaders, our digest of media strategy articles by the industry’s brightest planners and strategists and regular strategy features such as The Media Plan.
I’d like to thank all our contributors who have helped to make Strategy Leaders an essential resource for the commercial media industry over the last year. You can read our Strategy Leaders articles here.
