While it’s always painful to hear one’s own voice, it might not be so painful for you to hear another person’s voice. With that bit of useless and trivial wisdom, you can listen to me, Steve Hall, interviewed by Brian Massey on his HearThis Podcast for Marketers. We sat down in the press room at ad:tech San Francisco which was held at the Moscone Center April 26-28. We talked about advertising in general, social media, how I publish Adrants, the hundreds of friends I have I’ve never met, video, Crispin Porter + Bogusky (I know, I know. Sorry), anything but the :30, on-demand TV, the pointlessness of TV networks as middlemen and my very, very short attention span. If you care, you can listen here.
