The year’s most distinct and worthwhile series
As the virus cuts into the annual ad blitz, CBS has yet to book all of the 30-second slots available for the big game.
Messages within messages. Marketers, there is some gold in here.

If he wins next month, Raphael Warnock may have his pet beagle to thank.
Chime in on this. What do you marketers have to say about the gap between what consumers say and what they do? Do you opt out when that ad plays?
For every camera person, reporter, producer and anchor. . .
Hang tough. Eat the last pizza bone. Be prepared to grab a few cat naps. Never pass up a bathroom. Stay warm. Bring an umbrella even if rain isn’t in the forecast. Don’t laugh at the ridiculous interviews you will conduct. And most importantly, “DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN.”

Driving across the South from Georgia - through TN, MO, KS - I assess advertising. I guess that Jesus has the best ad agency, cause there are a ton of billboards. Catchy copy on one:
"Every tongue shall confess
That Jesus is Lord
Even Democrats"
That was my favorite.
But a double sided billboard near Chattanooga was a big buy on a major interstate.
One sign reads in all caps . . . "COMING SOON"
The other side -in all caps . . . "JESUS"
So media buying, creative and ad agency for Jesus wins the South. Running a close second - GUNS and fast food.

I make my living off the evening news
Carry ‘round a camera, everything’s in view
I watch a lot of people lose,
Call it blood and thunder
I coulda been a drifter, but I learned to shoot
Gotta lot of pockets, but I don't own a suit
Man I wish I made more loot
Selling blood and thunder

We got the toothpaste model
Who comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the virus with a gleam in her eye
Still people will say she lied
They want blood and thunder
Can we stream the operation?
Is the GoPro set?
Yeah, the kids in digital got a running bet
Keep the drone from getting wet!
We need blood and thunder
Dirty little live shots
Every other crime
We’ll scratch each others eyes out for a piece of the pie
Nobody gets out alive
Without blood and thunder
Riot in the streets,
outbreak on a cruise
no matter what we show
they'll say that it's fake news
It all gives me the Blues
Take your blood and thunder.

Big news from Ross. Will NAB actually happen?
Ross Video regrets to announce that we are withdrawing from NAB Show 2020. Ross has been at every NAB since 1974 and this has not been an easy decision to take, but we have a clear duty to our employees, our customers and families.
Ross is not alone in this; many of our customers and partners have implemented travel restrictions over concerns about the increasing number of Covid-19 cases around the world.
