To wrap the year, we could think of no one better than industry power broker, consigliere, and founder now of 3C Ventures: Michael Kassan, to give us his uniquely insider take on the headlines that are rewriting the rules of the media business in real time. From the blockbuster Omnicom–IPG merger to Netflix’s potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, the tectonic plates underneath the entire ecosystem are shifting, propelled of course by technology and AI.  Michael is always in the room where it happens, and with his storytelling flair we know you’ll appreciate hearing what these mega-moves actually mean: who gains power, who loses leverage, what it means for agency folks, for clients and for consumers. We loved this conversation, we learned from it and hope you will too.
