Season One Review - TEP

Digital ads claim trillions of impressions, but if each of us actually saw 10,000 ads a day, wouldn’t we be in a permanent state of sensory overload? The truth is, most of these impressions are noise—bots, fraud, and ineffective targeting drowning out real engagement. Maybe the real question isn’t how many ads are served, but whether digital advertising is actually working at all. 
This, and other current marketing topics were discussed along with Lisa Laporte (TWiT.tv), Augie Ray (Gartner) and host Bob Knorpp (always a good human) on the very excellent BeanCast Podcast (which I’ve been fortunate to be a guest on in the past).

The 2025 Media Landscape Report is out and there is a bit to take in for communicators and those looking to engage media.

The author of the report is Medianet and the Managing Director Amrita Sidhu walks through the key findings. The report is critical for those working in public relations, communications, and those responsible for the storytelling of their brand. The intelligence garnered will support better communications and a far better understanding of the media cycle.

TEP Season 2 Recap

On this episode of Coffee Break with DailyBot, we’re talking about the return of the phone call... kind of. AI voice agents are showing up everywhere, answering customer calls, booking appointments, handling support tickets, and doing it all without a human on the line. Even Gen Z, the "don’t-call-me" generation, is turning to voice when it really matters. So are we seeing a new kind of phone call era just powered by AI instead of people? We dig into what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and what it all means for the future of customer support.

EP 23 – The call you’re dreading? It’s not a human anymore
