PNR 82: Honda Fails to Go the Distance

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert go in-depth into Facebook and instant articles, paired with the Apple announcement on launching a news reader platform.  Honda shows us that a good idea can go wrong without a little patience, and the Onion handles sponsored content like a pro.  This week's raves include creative job postings and how a 12-year-old launched a media empire.  The #ThisOldMarketing example of the week: HowToCookThat.net.
