Advertising Week Briefing: Why marketers are using brevity to get Gen Z's attention Marketers are still looking to crack the code to market to Gen Z. That might be why several panels kicking off this year's hybrid Advertising Week event in New York focused on how to get the attention of young consumers. More in today's Advertising Week Briefing. Additional coverage: - Barely five months after launch, trials of Google's version of cookieless retargeting are stuck in first gear. Only five ad tech vendors have expressed an interest in testing the FLEDGE, and it's unlikely this will change anytime soon.
- LinkedIn's editor-in-chief Dan Roth talks about the company's recent hire of its first head of original programming on the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast.
- Omnicom Media Group is taking steps to try to stay ahead of consumers' wants by launching a consumer sentiment tracking tool.
- Marketers are catching on to a renewed wave of nostalgia, with brands like Fender, Pabst Blue Ribbon and McDonald's (with the chain's new Happy Meals for adults) tapping into the trend. More in this Digiday+ Marketing Briefing.
- With a potential recession on the horizon, unprofitable gaming and esports media operations are shutting their doors — and, predictably, it's the employees who are getting the short end of the stick.
- There are still concerns regarding self-driving cars, but one robotaxi company wants potential riders to imagine what switching to self-driving cars might look like as it readies to drive around more cities' streets.
