FIR #75: The Quality of Your Intent

Doug Haslam and Augie Ray join host Shel Holtz to discuss a decline in the effectiveness of loyalty/reward programs, challenges to influencer marketing in the wake of Disney and Google ending their relationship with PewDiePie after he posted videos containing anti-semitic content, whether Volkswagen’s prospects would have suffered if its crisis had been characterized a public health issue rather than an environmental issue, new examples of fake content of all kinds, and the gap between the need to put employees first — as voiced by Richard Edelman during the World Economic Forum — and how engaged employees feel in their organizations.

Christopher Carfi and Serena Ehrlich join Shel Holtz for this week’s episode, which covered these stories…
