PR Teams – Be On Alert Late last year, the Federal Trade Commission issued guidelines for native advertising, a topic of much discussion in 2016.

What I want to do in this post is make a five-point argument that email is one of the most important communications channels in 2016. In 2016, Instagram may introduce ads, Twitter may change their algorithm to more of a Facebook model, or Facebook may restrict reach (content volume will increase, so this happens naturally as well).

It’s November 2016 and we’re watching the latest John Lewis Christmas ad. But it would be fair to concede that the 2016 contribution to the cannon was comfortingly familiar. In 2016 the joke is on us: it was all dream, a sleepy composite of half-remembered fragments from adverts past. It isn’t a new Star Wars or Bond.

Some people don’t think of PR professionals as particularly creative – except when it comes to hatching wild PR stunts or gimmicks, like KFC’s fried-chicken-flavored nail polish in 2016.
