Advertising Stories

Peter Levitan’s Advertising Stories delivers unvarnished, funny, even battle sagas from glib advertising agency creative directors, account managers, media geniuses, and even big brand client marketers. We’ll talk about creating ads; trying to sell them; not selling them; making the logo bigger; my dad likes his idea better; how I lost that account; how I got that ad job; plus ad agency expense account hijinks across six continents. Peter’s friends are a globe’s worth of glib, over-educated storytellers that have delivered really important cultural messages like, “Taste The Rainbow”, “What’s In Your Wallet”, “Where’s The Beef” and Uzbekistan Airlines' comforting, “Good Luck.” Join Advertising Stories every week for an off-the-rails conversation with the advertising and marketing world’s experts.

Malvertising Is Hijacking Your User Experience And The Advertising World.

"Hello. This is Wells Fargo Bank please open this important message by sending us your account number and password. Oh, and while you are at it, how about sending us your social security number?"

OK, a no go? Really? How about you send President Mugabe $25,000 for his startup in Papua New Guinea? Or, we can all just go to Amazon and buy a new Apple watch? I'll need all of your screen names, passwords, credit card, and a recent photo of your youngest child.

Does all of this sound insane? Well, people deliver personal information to strangers every day because they fall for malvertising. Hey, advertisers and publishers, and even you, it is time you hear from a malvertising expert. Here is Peter's interview with Matt Gillis, the CEO of clean.io -- the experts in eliminating the world of malvertising.
