When is a fake better than the original? In the spirit of April Fool's (don't panic, it was yesterday - you're safe) we'd like to celebrate a side of advertising that is not real. Yes, there is a whole category of creativity out there called "spec ads". They are made by anybody, bought by nobody, and look exactly like the real thing. For your enjoyment, and nothing else, here is our blog on some great spec ads: Spec Ads: Advertising Without Rules https://lnkd.in/eVFTRh4t https://lnkd.in/eRVNZnfp/

More on a possible settlement in House and related cases reported on SBJ’s Buzzcast this morning. Details very similar to yesterday’s The Athletic article by Nicole Auerbach and Justin Williams. - Thursday hearing in the Fontenot (a class action alleging NCAA prohibition against athletes receiving compensation from schools and leagues violates antitrust law) may act as de facto deadline for a possible joint settlement (presumably with the House class action); - NCAA Board of Governors scheduled to meet Wednesday; - Proposed settlement numbers again stated to be $2.7 billion for resolution of prior claims involving use of former student athletes’ NIL, and a framework for future revenue sharing of approximately $20 million to begin in 2025/2026 academic year; - Increased tension noted between Power Five football conferences and the rest of Division I schools. In particular, the Big East is noted to “vigorously object” to the settlement framework; - NCAA President Baker highlights resolution would bring “clarity”, “predictability” and “stability” for schools and “tremendous opportunities for student athletes”. https://lnkd.in/dpE-k7Z7

Outrage is easy. How to best ensure the safety of fans, players, coaches, and officials is hard. There are no simple solutions. If you "build a wall" of security guards around the court, then you may cause injuries to fans caught between the "wall" and the surging back of the crowd. If you let the fans have free access to the court, then you endanger the athletes, coaches, and officials. "Banning court storming"....what does that even mean? Bottom-line, it is the venue's job to provide a safe environment for everybody. Most of the time, this is accomplished. I'm sure that processes will be changed based on learnings from every event. #sportsbiz #facilitymanagement #stormthecourt https://lnkd.in/erYvkBVr

Surrey Police have launched a new awareness raising campaign on sexting, aimed at young people, as their research (like ours) highlighted that asking, or being asked, for a nude image is common. It's a very different campaign style- wise to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)'s Think Before You Share campaign but the messaging is very similar and encourages parents and carers to: talk about the issue with their children; ask open questions, avoid shaming; stay calm; remind children of the risks associated with sharing; recognise the pressure they might feel to share; and refer to services such as Report Remove should their children's images already be online. #SurreyPolice #sexting #campaign #Thinkbeforeyoushare #reportremove #oktoask? Thanks to Alex Finn's team for making us aware of this new campaign.

Getting teens and pre-teens to balance social media in their lives better is possible without legislation. Equipping them with the tools to break away from the social media platforms' functions that capture and hold their attention would be more effective. The Social Media Research Institute has developed Social Media Harm Reduction and Social Media First Aid as interventions designed to teach pre-teens and teens these tools and how to use them. Schools, churches, or community groups can help to facilitate the interventions. Passing legislation banning teens from social media is very similar to wishing social media away--we can do it, but the outcomes may have unintentional consequences. #socialmedia #innovation #technology #SocialMediaHarmReduction #SocialMediaFirstAid

Astonishingly, the average person will lose almost 7 years of their life to social media. 🤯 Our colleague, Simon Brown, shares his own powerful decision to lead by example for his own children.
