Your essential monthly guide to what’s hot in the world of marketing
Flock is very excited to be attending Festival of Media again this year in Rome, from 7-9 May! We’ll be participating in a discussion around Programmatic on the Main Stage, as well as running two Brand Learning sessions. Check out where you can find us at the festival here.
In this blog, Flock USA CEO, Maarten Albarda, explores the sequence of events that followed the most recent United Airlines PR disaster, just one in a line of many. Has the airline learned anything from its mistakes?
