Print Is Still the Most Trusted Type of Ad January 11th, 2017 by Contently on Digital Pivot
	Some people claim print is dying. As a journalist, I don’t really like these people, even if they may be right. So it was comforting to find out that consumers still value print, at least when it comes to one crucial metric. According to an October 2016 survey by MarketingSherpa, 82 percent of U.S. internet users trust print ads when making a purchase decision, more than any other medium. The highest ranking online format, search ads, clocks in at 61 percent, while only 25 percent of Americans trust pop-ups. Given the digital media boom of the past decade, the results are surprising. TV and print continue to lose ad share at the expense of digital, yet both traditional platforms maintain higher levels of trust compared to their online counterparts.

Fear Not the Feedback May 26th, 2015 by Mona Sabbah on Beyond Madison Avenue
	As creatives, we put ourselves out there every day. From feedback to criticism to having to make something pop a little more, it’s draining. But you and I know it’s part of the process. Without revisions and changes, the work can’t be approved. Without approval, there’s no publication, and without proof you have no portfolio. So how do you deal with feedback? Prepare for it; make peace with the fact that it’s part of working in advertising. Don’t take it personally and allow time for the back-and-forth dance you’ll have with the client.
