Gaffe Track
Show Description +
Every presidential campaign is full of unpredictable twists and turns. After a brief moment where it looked like the nation might slouch into a Bush-Clinton rematch, the 2016 election is taking its place in that line of strange journeys. The one sure thing: There will be gaffes.
Knowing that the range of gaffes is wide, and that the import of a gaffe is often inflated (or overlooked) early on, Gaffe Track is The Atlantic's bid to cover these gaffes with a consistent approach, creating a nearly real-time chronological inventory of the missteps, miscalculations, and misstatements of the 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump's Lie on Discussing the Wall
Henry Romero / Reuters
The candidate: Donald Trump
The gaffe: On Wednesday, the Republican nominee traveled to Mexico City to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. At a press conference, the men were asked if they'd discussed Trump's promise to make Mexico pay for a border wall. "Who pays for the wall? We didn't discuss it," Trump said. (Listen for yourself here.) Later, Peña Nieto issued a statement claiming he had ruled it out. Then Trump's campaign issued a statement that didn't dispute that. Then on Thursday, on Laura Ingraham's radio show, Trump claimed he had said that they did discuss it:
Trump to @ingrahamangle: "I said, no, we did discuss the wall." He was asked about who would pay for it. pic.twitter.com/iEFThfGFEb
— Sopan Deb (@SopanDeb) September 1, 2016
(Listen here: Trump: 'Hillary Moves Slow On Everything & We Will Have Softening On Immigration')
It's a fantastic claim, in the sense of being both amazing and also being a fantasy; anyone can listen to Trump's press conference and hear clearly what he said.
The defense: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why it matters (or doesn't):
The lesson: The walls have ears, whether they are discussed or not—and so do the rest of us.
2:59 PM / August 19, 2016
Gaffe Track: Trump Doesn't Love the Half-Indians
Carlo Allegri / Reuters
The gaffe: Jake Anantha is an 18-year-old Charlotte, North Carolina, man who is half-Indian and was, until Thursday night, a fervent Trump supporter looking forward to casting his first vote for president for the Republican. But when he went to Trump's rally in Charlotte, he was ejected—he believes because of the color of his skin. "I told him I've never been to another rally in my life. I'm a huge Trump supporter. I would never protest against Trump," he told CNN. "I do think it's because I'm brown."
The defense: Security told Anantha that he looked just like a man who'd caused trouble at previous ralli...—wait, no, that doesn't actually make it any better.
Why it matters (or doesn't): On a basic level, it's not a good idea to alienate your supporters, especially when you're already down by several points in the polls. (Anantha now says he'll perhaps vote for Gary Johnson.) The incident offers ammunition to anyone who thinks the Trump campaign is driven by racial resentment and dislike of minorities. On the plus side, Trump doesn't really have enough minority supporters for this to make a dent.
The lesson: If you support candidates who back racial profiling, you might get racially profiled at their rallies.
11:01 AM / August 9, 2016
Gaffe Track: Seddique Mateen's Clinton Cameo
The candidate: Hillary Clinton
The gaffe: Who's that standing behind the Democratic nominee during a rally in Kissimmee, Florida? Oh, just Seddique Mateen, the father of Orlando nightclub gunman Omar Mateen and a man who has espoused pro-Taliban and anti-gay views, in addition to peculiar statements suggesting he holds some power in Afghanistan.
The defense: In a statement to WPTV, the Clinton campaign said, "The rally was a 3,000-person, open-door event for the public. This individual wasn't invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event." (Mateen also said he had just decided to go.)
Why it matters (or doesn't): This isn't a major gaffe by the candidate, but it's sort of baffling. Sure, events are open to the public, but how did staffers allow their boss to get in a situation where she was standing in front of Mateen, sitting somewhat prominently in the grandstand? He's not the name you want in headlines with Hillary Clinton. Perhaps Trump was right: "We have no idea where they come from, we have no idea who the hell they are. We know they believe in certain things that we don't want to believe in."
The lesson: Screen anyone who might appear on screen.
4:21 PM / August 4, 2016
Gaffe Track: Donald's Watching More Non-Existent Videos
Eric Thayer / Reuters
The gaffe: On Wednesday, the Republican nominee talked about watching a video of American officials unloading cash in Iran. The cash was real—a Wall Street Journal scoop revealed it—but there was no video. Trump's spokeswoman admitted that to The Washington Post, saying he was referring to a different video. And yet on Thursday, Trump once again claimed to have watched the video. "I woke up yesterday and I saw $400 million—different currencies, they probably don't want our currency—being flown to Iran," he said in Maine on Thursday. "You know it was interesting, because a tape was made, with the airplane coming in, nice airplane, and the money coming off I guess. That was given to us, has to be, by the Iranians. You know why the tape was given to us? Because they want to embarrass our country."
The defense: The first time Trump made the claim, it was plausible he was just confused. But now?
Why it matters (or doesn't): There are two possibilities, neither especially flattering. One is that the campaign knows Trump is mistaken, but no one bothered to tell the candidate, leaving him to make a public gaffe. Another is that Trump knows quite well and doesn't care. It takes a special sort of brazenness, and a certain kind of faith in one's base, and probably a certain sort of delusion about how politics works, to assume that you can get away with lying about this. It's not the first time Trump has claimed to have seen a video that didn't exist—like when he described tape of Muslims supposedly celebrating 9/11 in New Jersey. So maybe Trump really does believe he saw the tape. Which isn't a good sign either.
The moral: The camera doesn't lie, but the candidate might.
Gaffe Track: Hillary's Enunciation Taxes Our Hearing
Dave Kaup / Reuters
The gaffe: Speaking in Omaha on Tuesday, the Democrat said, "Trump wants to cut taxes for the super rich," she said, to boos. "Well, we're not going there, my friends. I'm telling you right now, we're going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we"—here's where things get interesting. Some people heard what she said as "are going to raise taxes for the middle class." But on a closer listen, she's clearly saying "aren't."
The defense: Even if Clinton had said "are," it would be a clear slip of the tongue, not a declaration of policy. Clinton has promised not to raised taxes on anyone making up to $250,000—significantly higher than most reasonable definitions of the middle class, although anti-tax groups argue she'd do so anyway through backdoor methods.
Why it matters (or doesn't): Some conservatives will take this as a Kinsley gaffe, the classic variety in which a candidate accidentally tells the truth, but substantively, there's not much here. Not since Fritz Mondale has a Democratic candidate been willing to say he or she will raise taxes on the middle class, and Mondale got shellacked. Clinton's not about to emulate him.
The lesson: Mumbles risk grumbles and campaign fumbles.
Gaffe Track: Clinton Can't Help Stretching the Truth About Her Emails
The gaffe: Speaking to Fox News' Chris Wallace on July 30, Clinton said of her email scandal, "[FBI] Director [James] Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails." Except as The Washington Post explains, that's not what he said at all. While Comey said Clinton had not lied to the FBI and recommended against charging her, he was also clear that she had emailed classified material.
The defense: Clinton is right that Comey deemed her not to have lied to the FBI, at least.
Why it matters (or doesn't): As my colleague Ron Fournier writes, Clinton's insistence on continuing to lie about what Comey said is puzzling. Even as she has apologized for using the server and escaped indictment, she apparently can't bring herself to simply eat crow and move on, and instead misstates easily available facts. For a candidate already facing serious trust issues with much of the electorate, that seems unwise. Luckily for her, Trump has decided to launch a feud with Gold Star parents, propose appeasing Putin, and say the election is rigged, distracting a great deal of attention.
The lesson: Keep it straight and the election could be signed, sealed, and delivered to Clinton. Otherwise, the fact-check is in the email.
Gaffe Track: Trump Shrugs at Sexual Harassment
Rebecca Cook / Reuters
The gaffe: USA Today's Kirsten Powers asked Trump about the allegations of sexual harassment that toppled Fox News honcho Roger Ailes. When Trump downplayed them, she asked how he'd feel if his daughter was harassed. "I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case," he said. Tuesday morning, Trump's son Eric tried to clean it up. While saying harassment should be reported and dealt with, he added, "I don't think she would allow herself to be subjected to that."
The defense: The Republican has said he "would be the best for women" and that "Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump!"
Why it matters (or doesn't): As Powers notes, Trump's answer falls short for several reasons. It overlooks the fact that not all women can easily just leave a job. Moreover, it pushes the illegality of harassment off to the side, while placing the burden to rectify the situation on victims of sexual harassment. Eric Trump's answer, meanwhile, implies that victims of harassment are somehow not "strong." These sorts of statements matter because they're liable to alienate women, a group with which Trump already trails badly—57-43 in a recent CNN poll; his unfavorable rating with women is even worse.
The lesson: Don't blame the victim, especially if the victim is a voter.
11:22 AM / July 31, 2016
Gaffe Track: The Victim or the Crimea
The gaffe: Speaking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Trump said of Russian President Vladimir Putin, "He's not going into Ukraine, OK? Just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down and you can put it down, you can take it anywhere you want." Stephanopoulos pointed out that Russia had already annexed Crimea. The response was classic Trump: This is all proof of how terrible Obama is, but also it's not really so bad. He confirmed that he would consider recognizing the annexation: "But, you know, the people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were."
The defense: It's Obama's fault, or something.
Why it matters (or doesn't): At first glance, this looks like a classic example of Trump just not really knowing what he's talking about, a trait that endears him to supporters (he's a non-politician!) and terrifies opponents (he's dangerously ignorant!). But on closer glance, this is evidence of Trump's radically different approach to foreign policy. In his worldview, Russia seizing sovereign territory in violation of international law is acceptable. He even parrots the Kremlin line that Crimeans have a right to self-determination—further evidence of a close alignment between Putin and Trump.
The lesson: A politician shouldn't Kiev his opponents ammunition with unforced errors—but then again, the only Sebastopol that matters is on election day.
Gaffe Track: Trump Fires Back at Khizr Khan, Citing His 'Sacrifices'
The gaffe: On Thursday, Khizr Khan, the father of slain U.S. Army solider Humayun Khan, delivered the most memorable moment of either party convention. Speaking at the DNC, Khan said, "Hillary Clinton was right when she called my son 'the best of America.' If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America." Khan continued asked whether Trump had ever read the Constitution and said, "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." Asked about that by ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Trump first questioned why Khizr Khan's wife Ghazala did not speak. "If you look at his wife, she was standing there," he said. "She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. Then Trump said he'd sacrificed: "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've done, I've had tremendous success." A somewhat incredulous Stephanopoulos asked if those were really sacrifices. "Oh, sure. I think they're sacrifices," Trump said.
The defense: The Trump campaign sent out the full transcript of his remarks Sunday, suggesting they were exculpatory. Not so much.
Why it matters (or doesn't): At this early stage, this looks like one of the rare gaffes that might stick. Khizr Khan's speech was devastating, with a grieving immigrant father whose son died for the United States calling Trump out for proposing a ban on Muslims entering the country. Trump's response was to make a snarky remark (for the record, Ghazala Khan, who has spoken in interviews, said she was too emotional to speak) and then to claim, incredibly, that having a successful business career was somewhat an equivalent sacrifice to having a son die in combat. (Trump, a non-veteran, once likened his quest to avoid STDs to the Vietnam War.) The comment speaks for itself, but not in a good way. Just wait: Trump might still make it worse. Sunday morning, he defended his right to counterpunch at Khan Sunday morning:
I was viciously attacked by Mr. Khan at the Democratic Convention. Am I not allowed to respond? Hillary voted for the Iraq war, not me!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 31, 2016
The lesson: Sacrificing oneself on the altar of propriety and respectability does not qualify as self-abnegation.
Gaffe Track: Trump Can't Tell Kaine From Kean
The candidate: Donald J. … Crump? Can't really recall.
The gaffe: During a July 27 news conference—yep, the same one where he called on Russia to release hacked U.S. government information—the Republican repeatedly referred to Tim Kaine, the U.S. senator from Virginia who is Hillary Clinton's running mate, as a New Jerseyan.
The defense: Trump seems to have been confusing Kaine with Tom Kean, a Republican who was Garden State governor, and whose name is pronounced "cane." No word on the whereabouts of Herman Cain.
Why it matters (or doesn't): This is one of the more ephemeral gaffes, and pales in importance compared to his bizarre plea to Russia. (The whole press conference was weird.) Mostly, it suggests Trump either can't or doesn't care to master the details of politics.
The lesson: If you're going for a Kaine break, be careful you don't graze Kean instead.
3:22 PM / July 6, 2016
Gaffe Track: That's No Sheriff's Badge, Donald
Rick Wilking / Reuters
The candidate: Donald Trump. Yep, again.
The gaffe: On July 2, Trump tweeted out an image featuring Hillary Clinton's face over a background of cash, with a six-pointed star reading "Most corrupt candidate ever." Many people immediately recognized this as an anti-Semitic dogwhistle, as the six-pointed Star of David is a symbol of Judaism. Trump deleted the tweet, then resent the same image with the star changed to a circle.
The defense: Trump argues that it was a sheriff's badge, or perhaps a "basic" six-pointed star. But a sheriff's badge wouldn't make any sense in this context. There's also the small problem that the image appears to have originated in a neo-Nazi-frequented message board, then traveled to an anti-Semitic Twitter account before being picked up by Trump.
Why it matters (or doesn't): Trump's tweet has produced a heated debate over whether Trump is anti-Semitic. That argument is to a certain extent beside the point. It's hard—though some diehards are finding ways—to ignore the pattern of Trump encouraging anti-Semitic and other racist elements, regardless of whether Trump himself bears any personal animus toward Jews. (One of his staunch defenders at this moment is his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is Jewish.) Time and again, Trump has tweeted or retweeted material that originated with white supremacists. There was also, of course, the moment where he declined to condemn an endorsement from former KKK leader David Duke, and later tried to blame it on a bad earpiece. (Duke helpfully insists the star was a Star of David, by the way.) The white supremacists are certainly convinced that Trump is speaking to them with a wink and a nudge. In any case, Trump shows no remorse.
The lesson: This schmuck's shtick is still a shanda.

Gaffe Track: Trump's Mash Note for Saddam
The candidate: Donald J. Trump
The gaffe: Speaking in Raleigh, North Carolina, last night, Trump found the positive side of the late repressive, genocidal Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. "He was a bad guy—really bad guy. But you know what? He did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk. They were terrorists. Over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism."
The defense: There's a coherent case that toppling Saddam was a grave error because it destabilized the Middle East and led to sectarian wars, broader regional dysfunction, and ISIS. Also, the Harvard remark is kind of hilarious trolling coming from a Penn grad.
Why it matters (or doesn't): Here's a handy, one-word guide for presidential candidates on when to praise Saddam Hussein: "Never." Whatever the case to be made that toppling Saddam was a bad idea, it's not really the case Trump made. Instead, he praised a war criminal for his handling of enemies, and a known sponsor of terrorism for his killing of terrorists. (When Henry Kissinger makes the case for cozying up to repressive dictators because of American self-interest, he's revered as a wise statesman, but when Trump does it, everyone is appalled—though maybe that says more about Kissinger than about Trump.) This isn't the first time Trump has argued the world would be better off with Saddam in power, and it's not even the first time he's made the "Harvard of Terrorism" joke. But once again, the Republican has managed to trip on his own feet, distracting from condemnation of Hillary Clinton's email. It's a weird comment to make in North Carolina, a state with many Iraq veterans, though he also suggested in Greensboro that U.S. soldiers siphoned reconstruction funds. Anyway, all of this would ring a lot more true if Trump had been opposed to the Iraq war from the start. But despite his claims, he clearly supported it.
The lesson: Praising Saddam can make a candidate's image go from Baath to worse.

June 3, 1974 Issue
By Jonathan Schell
The New Yorker, June 3, 1974 P. 27
For the last few weeks, the evening news has brought us scenes of violence in a steady stream - scenes from Israel, where terrorists were holding school-children hostage; from Ireland, where bombs were going off on crowded streets; from L.A. where the tale of Patricia Hearst was unfolding. We are faced with an epidemic of a new kind of political crime - the publicity crime. In publicity crimes, extremist groups that have been without power commit, or threaten to commit, spectacular but senseless outrages against innocent people in order to gain visibility & a small amount of leverage in an indifferent world. The terrorists seek to exploit not their adversary's weakness in arms but his concern for human life. By making demands in return for the lives of the hostages they seize, they try to use their foe's conscience against him. The crimes are usually directed at influencing a world television audience & thus are crimes against the conscience of mankind. Publicity crimes pose a special problem for the press. They are propaganda & by giving them extensive coverage the press becomes a propaganda arm of the terrorist groups... There is no need for the tremendous volume of on-the-spot coverage that publicity crimes are getting on TV at the moment. For most developments a few dry lines from the anchorman about 20 minutes into the program would seem about right...

Professor Emeritus Lyle Novinski and son create sculpture for local parish, Holy Cross
Faith Oakes, Contributing Writer
A sole student stares at a singular stone faced sculpture in the foyer of the Haggerty Gallery. Photo by Elizabeth Kerin.
Professor Emeritus of Art Lyle Novinski designed a sculpture of St. Martin de Porres for Holy Cross Catholic Church in Dallas that was exhibited at the University of Dallas Haggerty Art Gallery last Wednesday.
Novinski spoke eagerly of the design of the sculpture and the work that went into its creation.
"My studio partner, [my]youngest son David, and I pieced together the needed technology to fabricate a full-sized figure," Novinski said in an email. "As the figure is clothed in a Dominican habit, courtesy of [UD Chaplain] Fr. Don Dvorak, the body shape would be largely concealed, but the body language and stance would be subtly but forcibly communicated through the drapery of the fabric."
St. Martin de Porres was a 16th-century Dominican brother, born in Lima, Peru to a Spanish nobleman and a native woman.
He was known especially for his healing skills and his love for God's creation, and is the patron of all who seek interracial and communal harmony — appropriate for a parish that has always had a great deal of ethnic diversity.
Novinski lovingly described the details and pose of the sculpture as a kind of capstone project for his work at Holy Cross.
"We chose to pose St. Martin in an pose of action that is both invitation and giver," Novinski said. "The content is carried in the body language, slightly leaning forward, slightly contraposto, and with two gesturing hands, one bearing a small bowl, and the other open handed with an indication of beckoning."
The creation of his sculpture does not mark the first time he has worked with the parish community.
"About 35 years ago I was asked by Pastor Fr. Timothy Gollob to advise on the renovation of an elementary school, cafeteria and library into a suitable worship place," Novinski said.
His design included new platforms, risers for the choir, lighting, a new glazed entry and doors, and reorienting the room in a different direction, opening up a brick wall for a good entrance, closing up an old entrance and designing furniture for the new sanctuary.
Novinski counseled the parish community to complete the renovation themselves, firstly because it would be much more cost-effective.
"For about six months we demolished walls, laid up brick in new ways, rescued every board, and cleaned bricks for supplies to use in the renovation," Novinski said. "Every board of the demolition found a use in the new format. And the ethnic mix of the parish joined in mutual labor to the benefit of the project and the social interaction within the community."
Since then, Novinski was asked to return and design the sculpture of St. Martin, which will occupy a shrine which matches another, dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
As of Saturday, Oct. 31 the sculpture rests in its shrine at Holy Cross.

More such articles have appeared in October 2011 in reaction to two study publications (1, 2), which deal with the relationship between the quantity of dietary supplements ingested and mortality (1) and the incidence of prostate cancer (2).
In the following text, we would like to comment briefly on the two studies, in order to demonstrate the inaccuracy of the often over-generalized and undifferentiated statements made by the press.
The many methodological errors in this study lead to a rejection of the contention that "dietary supplements may increase mortality" on the grounds that it is unscientific. One of the key arguments for our conclusion, among other deficiencies not addressed further here, is the lack of causality: The question of whether the participants took the products due to existing illness or the disease developed because of the quantity ingested is one this study simply cannot make a statement on. A mathematical correlation was constructed, but causality could not be determined. It is well known that this is one of the main problems with epidemiological studies (as early as 1988, Sies proved a strong correlation between a declining birth rate and the declining number of storks in a region (3), but no one would argue that there is a causal relationship).
Finally we would like to mention that the association is strongest with supplemental iron and copper, both minerals that are known for their pro-oxidative activity and that are not widely used in common dietary supplements.
What concrete conclusions can be drawn from this study must be left open at this time.
SELECT was discontinued in 2008 because it was already becoming apparent that the thesis of a 25% reduction in the risk level for prostate cancer would not be confirmable (4). The subsequent follow-up now even showed an increased cancer risk in the intervention group with vitamin E.
An important reason for the performance of SELECT was provided by data from other studies, which suggested a risk reduction. Among these was the Finnish ATBC study, which demonstrated a risk reduction of 32% with an ingested quantity of 50 IU of vitamin E.
The main difference in the SELECT study is the dosage of 400 IU of vitamin E, a dose that corresponds to eight times the ATBC dosage and must be characterised as unphysiological. It is well known that anti-oxidants may become pro-oxidants in high doses, with the corresponding negative effects. In addition to this, SELECT used the all-rac form of alpha-tocopherol, a synthetic substance with eight stereoisomeric forms, of which only one is bioactive and the potential effects of the other forms are unknown (5).
In this case as well, an over-generalization must be rejected. However, it is clear that the misconception "more is better" must once again be brought to the attention of consumers as being false.

Clara Morris
There is a species of actress who explores the extremes of passion and psychology, who ventures into ways of being that shock witnesses with their oddity, their volatility, and their possibility. Clara Morris was this type of performer. She was only reckoned artistic and great during the three years she was forced to perform under the constraints of Augustin Daly's ensemble system. The plays of that period, 1870 to 1873, included "Article 47," "Jezebel," and "Man and Wife" - works that established her as a supremely talented "emotional actress."
Morris's hatred of being limited by a manager's authority had her set up as a touring star. Some of her vehicles extended the success of her work for Daly, "Camille" and "Jane Eyre" particularly, but others became platforms for her experiments in self exposure. The cruelest critics called her the "queen of spasms" and thought her impersonation of Lady Macbeth as "beyond mad." Yet her version of extreme acting always maintained her place in the theatrical firmament as the horizon of practice.
In the 1890s ill health caused her to diminish her touring. She redirected her energy to writing, generating columns, theatrical commentaries, and several dozen volumes of reminiscences. David S. Shields/ALS

Enough with the "build or buy" debate. When it comes to in-housing or outsourcing, brands should have it both ways
Posted on February 28, 2020 in Industry by Quietly Team.
To build or to buy? It's a question all companies are asking themselves as they look to optimize their processes and innovate their offerings. But it's a question increasingly being posed to marketing teams as well.
Traditional advertising has been falling out of favor for years and owned and earned media have come to the fore. That means marketing teams are now tasked with producing high-value content and creative campaigns. Is it better to handle these projects in-house, or to contract out to an agency?
The answer, it turns out, is a bit of both.
The customer-first, content-focused, and data-driven programs of the present differ markedly from the demands faced by in-house creatives 20 years ago. They're more nuanced, more detailed, and more demanding—and the challenges faced by in-house content teams have been well-documented. With expectations high, and teams stretched thin, there are always opportunities to partner with experts, even for companies that are building robust content marketing programs internally.
How an in-house and agency team are stronger together
So what should these partnerships look like? The right solution is whatever works best; different brands have different needs. And more often than not, a mix of internal and external expertise is necessary. Let's look at some instances where in-house teams and agencies can join forces to empower brands and amplify their content marketing efforts.
Processes and workflows
Asking "build or buy" when it comes to your content capabilities isn't always the right question. Sometimes, buying is necessary in order to begin building out your team and its roles.
MEC, an outdoor retailer consistently recognized as one of Canada's most trusted brands, approached Quietly with a clear goal: to re-shape the way their content marketing supported objectives across the business.
But what they realized along the way was that they already had many of the tools to help make this happen. Sharing our own in-depth knowledge, we led discovery sessions that showed just how much more they could do with their existing technology stack, such as analytics tracking, e-commerce integrations, and asset management. We also introduced our own dedicated tools for crafting stories, measuring attribution, and proactively analyzing risks.
Marketing teams will often have a basic framework in place to streamline their content operations, but they need to keep building from there. It's important that they identify new workflow opportunities, add interdepartmental touchpoints for key stakeholders, and determine roles and responsibilities.
All of these processes can be managed by an in-house team—but they first need to know that they exist. Brands can benefit from partnering with agencies that have worked with dozens of clients across categories. In the best brand-agency partnerships, agencies come ready to share their tools and knowledge and empower in-house marketing teams to build from there.
Talent and fulfilment
According to the Content Marketing Institute, 52 percent of B2B teams report they only have a skeleton crew managing content marketing operations across the whole organization; for 35 percent of them, this team consists of fewer than five full-time staff.
Consulting with specialists is a great way to fill talent gaps or grow the team on short notice. When Herschel Supply Co., the well-known luggage and lifestyle brand, needed to produce in-depth, inspiring guides to 18 locations across the globe—bylined by well-traveled creative professionals with insider knowledge—they turned to us.
The project had to be completed quickly in support of a massive go-to-market strategy across Instagram. By tapping our global on-demand network of content creators, we were able to recruit adventurers, influencers, nomads, and designers with compelling personal brands and lifestyle clout to write the city guides, complete with off-the-beaten-path insights and recommendations.
A third-party agency is like a pressure valve for content production; when challenges begin to build, you can look to outside help to relieve the burden and provide additional value.
It's not just about the how. Working with external experts can help teams determine what stories to produce, where they should be published, when they should go live, who they should be geared towards, and why they'll be impactful.
In-house teams can often find themselves too close to the work or limited by legacy processes. Strategy partners can be both holistic and specific in analyzing search traffic, social channels, the broader competitive and publishing landscapes, and a brand's own proprietary analytics to help determine the topics that will perform best. Drawing together data from a host of powerful tools allows agencies to help brands garner insights they otherwise might not see—and quickly.
Not only that, but agencies that specialize in content marketing, distribution, and attribution may have access to resources that would be too costly to take on in-house. That's certainly what allowed Quietly to help a top luxury lifestyle and real estate brand.
The team at Sotheby's International Realty was always navigating a delicate balance between driving discovery and bringing in a wider readership, and retaining the elevated storytelling that their target audiences associate with their product offering.
Our comprehensive research culminated in streamlined, accessible annual content calendars for long-term, big-picture planning, along with shorter-term quarterly content strategies. And the results have spoken for themselves, with a 488 percent increase in new users arriving from organic search and a 382 percent increase in organic search sessions.
Even if you have an efficient in-house team, a trusted third party can enhance your strategic planning on an ongoing basis. Again, it's about buying smart so you can build better.
Partnerships for the win
Looking ahead to the 2020s, brands not only need to discover the right balance of in-house talent and external expertise to achieve their goals, they need to put the right processes in place to get the work out the door. This means working in tandem with agencies to bring a critical outside-in perspective and help establish best practices.
At minimum, appoint a dedicated team member to oversee all things related to content marketing. How can campaigns be created and deployed more strategically? How can success be measured and attributed more effectively? How can current roles be aligned to these needs? And how can external experts help to fulfill these functions, drive efficiencies, save resources, and further expand your content marketing success? Make sure your dedicated content liaisons have a direct line to executive stakeholders so that they can champion these causes and drive real change across the organization.
The business case for internal-external collaboration practically writes itself; now you just need to be empowered to action on it.

Lima, the capital of Peru, is a great metropolis with multiple layers, which has majestically preserved the evidence of its glorious past despite the passage of time. It is an effervescent city in constant transformation, where the different expressions of the country's cultural diversity coexist perfectly.
Founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro, in colonial times it was considered the City of Kings, and UNESCO recently designated it as a World Heritage Site.
Located on the Pacific Ocean, it is the country's main port of entry and boasts a very significant travel, hotel and restaurant industry.
Among Lima's highlights are its beautiful historic center with its buildings that house treasures of colonial art, such as the Convent of San Francisco, which is home to a beautiful library that owns an enviable collection of old books, as well as a network of catacombs that is open to visitors; or the Casa Aliaga, a beautiful property that is currently the oldest continuously inhabited private dwelling in the Southern Hemisphere; among others.
Visit Lima's prestigious museums and private collections, such as the Rafael Larco Herrera Archaeological Museum, home to over 3,000 years of pre-Columbian Peruvian history, or the Amano museum, with its exquisite collection of ceramics and textiles.
Outside the city, Lima also offers many options for those who love the sea, nature, or adventure.


It was time to buy a new digital camera, and I think I've made a very good decision with Sony's RX-100. This is a remarkably small, convenient, and capable product: 20 megapixels; a ring around the lens for manual focus (or other uses that I can easily set through menus); very good image quality; the ability to shoot RAW as well as JPG images; panoramic images; very good low light sensitivity with little visible grain; the list goes on. (In fact, one very good place to read about this, and other digital cameras is Digital Photography Review.
Here's an example of the level of detail offered by Digital Photography Review. Their 10+ page review of this camera is typical of their excellent work–the site is the best source of information about digital cameras on the web.
Before I bought the camera, I studied review of the RX-100 and comparable cameras on the dpreview.com website. I found a newer model, RX-100 II, but decided to save the extra $150 and forego the tilting rear screen and a few other interesting features.
As I started using the camera, I began to understand why this camera was so well-reviewed. And I began to understand what it was, well, missing.
First and foremost, the camera comes with a pretty crumby manual. Having spent over $500 on a camera, it seemed reasonable to assume that Sony would tell me how to use it. I poked around on the web, and found a terrific solution to my dilemma. Imagine: a 400+ page book, fully illustrated, written specifically for people who bought the Sony RX-100. Unbelievable, but true. Turns out, this is one of a product line of ebooks from a small publisher, Friedman Archives.
I cannot imagine buying an RX-100, or any other high-end camera, without also buying the how-to book from Friedman Archive. (Highest possible recommendation!) Still not sold? Have a look at the (many) sample pages from this book that Gary includes on his web site.
Another necessity: a viewfinder. Problem is, this camera has no way to attach a viewfinder. Except, perhaps, the tripod screw hole at the bottom of the camera? Here's a clever entrepreneur at work. The company and product are called ClearViewer. Basically, what you're buying is a magnifying glass that can be held parallel to the rear LCD screen, or folded up and away when it's not in use. I place my eye directly against the ClearViewer magnifier, and sure enough, I can see the whole rear screen in tremendous detail. This is useful for settings, for focus, for composition–well, I don't need to sell you on the idea of a camera viewfinder. On the plus side, this is small, inexpensive (under $40) and utter transforms the process of taking pictures with a compact digital camera. I can comfortably suggest that every serious compact camera user should own one.
ClearViewer is a great idea, very useful, small enough to carry everywhere (without even removing it from the camera), but I sure wish there was a deluxe model, one with a better magnifying lens. Still, this is a very useful invention, and it always comes along with my camera.
One of the bizarre design non-features of many digital cameras absence of a place to screw-in a filter. Why does that matter? First, when shooting outdoors, you can both deeper sky colors, eliminate glare, and generally improve the whole image by shooting through a polarizing filter. And, in case you want to shoot with increased depth-of-field, which is useful if you like blurry backgrounds or silky smooth shots of babbling brooks, you may wish to shoot through a neutral density filter. (On the RX-100, this is a near-necessity because the camera's few wide-open f/stops are available only with the widest-angle uses of the built-in zoom).
So how do you attach a filter to a camera that doesn't accept filters?
Sony solved the problem with an adhesive add-on ring that must be carefully placed on the front of the camera, around the lens. I looked at Sony's solution and instead opted for a slicker version of the same idea, this one from a small company called Lensmate. This video explains how the system works in detail, but here's the essence: a small plastic rig allows you to precisely place the adhesive ring on the front of the camera; the ring (now part of the camera) is built to accept a bayonet mount (turn and snap into place–easy!); a second ring attaches to the bayonet mount and to a 52mm filter. Quick, simple, and it works.
Here's a look at the Sony RX-100 with the adhesive filter ring attached, ready to accept the bayonet-and-filter assembly (you will not be able to see the ring very easily–it's quite small and unobtrusive). The video link (above) also takes you to a lot of information about this product–I love small companies because they work hard to satisfy the customer.
Lensmate offers after-the-fact accessories for many of the same cameras that are covered in Mr. Friedman's books. More than filter adapters, they also offer grips, thumb rests, straps, and lots of other useful stuff that might have otherwise escaped your attention.
One remarkably good idea is a grip that attaches to the front of the RX-100 and, well, allows most people a more secure sense that their small $500+ box is well-in-hand. The distinguished, popular and versatile maker of these camera grips is a man named Richard Franiec whose products are available through his own kleptography website as well.
There's a good closeup look at the grip over on the left side of the camera (compare this to the grip-less version in the smaller image a paragraph or so up the page). The grip is meticulously designed, and, like the filter ring, it relies upon a super-strong, super-reliable adhesive. Once again, there is an installation video, a suggested rehearsal process before making the connection between grip and camera, and a pride in doing things right. It feels good to carry the camera with the grip, in part because it's well-made and in part because you know that it's the work of a man who identified the smallest possible niche within what is already a niche market, and built himself a business. It's uncommon for grips to be reviewed, but Franiec can boast several, all quite positive. Here's an example.


Get rid of odors naturally in your home with ease with a few simple tips. It doesn't matter if you clean your home top to bottom every day, the odors of daily life are unavoidable. Each home has a signature scent when you walk in the door, or into a specific room of the house. If your home's signature scent isn't pleasing, it's possible to change it! There is a way to get rid of those off-putting smells naturally, and in this post I'm giving you some of my favorite tips!
I wish that I had some before shots of our home, but since we've lived here since pre-digital camera days. Let's just say that it needed work and the former owners both smoked cigarettes heavily. You can imagine! It took the longest time for me to get that smoke odor out of the house, even though we had ripped out all of the carpet and painted. I've learned lots of tricks along the way for odor removal and I'm a fan of natural products and not chemicals whenever possible.
One of the common culprits for a smelly home is the trash can. The trash can is one of the most neglected areas of the house because most people don't think to clean and deodorize the place where you put your trash! Baking soda can not only help get rid of your trash can odors but also prevent it from coming back. You can either sprinkle a little at the bottom of your trash can or directly into the trash if needed. Don't forget to clean the kitchen and bathroom trash cans as they all harbor lots of bacteria, especially with the nasty flu that's been going around. THIS is the product that we use in our trash cans and I think that you'll love the scent!
If your garbage disposal smells foul, you shouldn't be too surprised. A garbage disposal has rotting food inside of it, and those smells can leak into the home if they get stuck in the garbage disposal. My husband the general contractor (recent client kitchen remodel below;-)) has given me strict instructions to NEVER put things down the disposal and only use it for whatever is stuck on to plates and cookware.
If your garbage disposal needs a little refresher, put those citrus fruits to good use. Use your leftover lemon rinds to help freshen your garbage disposal by putting them in the garbage disposal while it's still running. Next, make sure you let cold water run for a while to make sure that all the lemon rinds make their way down. I also like to keep the blades fresh by grinding stale ice cubes that can smell in the disposal.
This one might sound silly, but you have probably had a similar problem. The air in our home gets recirculated around continually, bringing all of those bad odors with it. If your air smells less than fresh, here's how I'll often fix it. Season permitting, start by opening the windows and letting some fresh air inside. Next, add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to cotton balls and place them in a small bowl. I like to use cinnamon or orange in my home, but you can use whatever scent you prefer. If you are going to burn some candles, try and select soy based because they don't dirty the air as much as regular wax. Get rid of odors naturally by using essential oils in a spray bottle diluted with water.
If you have pets in your home, your signature scent could end up being your pets! They leave their smell all over the house in the form of dander, making it difficult to get rid of. If you don't have time to bathe your pet, here's one of our favorite tips. Sprinkle some baking soda onto their fur, rub it in well, and then give them a thorough brushing. That will neutralize the odor and it's all natural and won't bother your pet. Get rid of odors naturally on your pet and your home will smell so much cleaner.
Your carpets lock in a lot of bad odors, especially if you have pets in the home. Get rid of a smelly carpet or rug by sprinkling baking soda onto the surface and let it sit for at least half an hour. If you have pets, make sure they stay away from the treated area as consuming baking soda might make them sick. After 30 minutes, vacuum up the baking soda.
You don't need to spray chemicals in your home to get rid of foul odors in your home. With these tips, you'll have a house that smells fresh and clean naturally. I'm linking a few of my favorite cleaning products below that I use and think you'll enjoy too!
Here we have taken a no chemical approach to cleaning. We have been using Force of Nature. Nothing has cleaned like it….ever. It is basically vinegar and salt that has been mixed so they don't separate or leave a residue….and it cleans like no other cleaner. It has replaced all other cleaners…and the house smells lovely because it is truly clean….and I have a dog.
Force of Nature cleans ovens!
Great tips but I have one small thing to point out. Flu viruses will not be found any where in your home unless someone brings them into your home. Bacteria do grow where food is decaying but not viruses. Viruses do not multiply outside of living cells.
The picture with the white sofas and stained glass windows on the wall… where did the blue and white rug come from???
So what can you do about the smell of cigarette smoke in your home?
That's a tough one and I had to deal with it when we purchased our older home. One thing that did help was painting with a Kilz blocking primer before repainting the house. We even painted the insides of the cabinets, since smoke penetrates. You can also purchase an air cleaner with a HEPA filter. Good luck!

Sims: Experienced drivers disadvantaged with new FE car
ROB WATTS, 1 year ago 3 min read
Alexander Sims believes the introduction of Formula E's Gen2 car could benefit the less-experienced drivers on the grid as its predecessor was a more difficult car to adapt to.
The BMW i Andretti driver was in contention for a race seat prior to the German manufacturer's takeover of the team, but after testing in Valencia a year ago, Sims has had to wait until this season for the chance to make his debut in the championship.
Speaking at the recent Formula E test in Valencia, Sims told eRacing Magazine that he believes it's the perfect time to be joining the series, and suggested that the new Gen2 car will make it easier for rookie drivers like himself to adapt to the championship.
"I think certainly coming in this year, I would say if there was a year to come in, it's probably season one or season five that we're coming into now, because it's a bit of a fresh start, a reset for many people with new cars and new systems for people to get on top of," he said.
"It maybe gives the seasoned guys slightly less of an advantage, obviously they know Formula E and the format and will have a far better grasp on that than I do, but I think the systems on the car probably help the driver to gain more confidence this year than with last year's cars.
"They seemed to be pretty difficult, and just so prone to making the driver look like he'd made a mistake when actually it was just a difficult car."
Sims has spent the majority of the past few seasons competing in sportscar racing as a BMW factory driver, but the 30-year-old Brit does have prior single-seater experience having stood on the podium in both GP3 and the F3 Euro series.
Despite setting the quickest time in Valencia as his BMW team topped the times on each of the three days, Sims says he's wary of making any predictions ahead of his Formula E race debut in Riyadh.
"I'm just taking it as it comes. I'm totally aware that I've got a lot to learn and I can't know at the moment what I don't know, but I'm expecting there to be quite a lot of things that I'm working out as I go along, and I'm sure some of them will catch me out and influence the race results," Sims said.
"I'm obviously cautiously optimistic that things should go fairly well but at the same time, the grid is full of guys that either have lots of experience and are bloody good racing drivers or other bloody good racing drivers that are rookies as well.
"I'm under no illusions that it's going to be tough to go out and beat those guys on a regular basis, so I'm going to keep my expectations in check at the moment."

You could spend some time away from the workplace at a local learning provider learning the theory behind your job, or your theory learning could be delivered entirely in your workplace. You'll then get the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice in your job role.
On some courses, you might spend one day a week attending a learning provider or you might attend for a few days in a row to complete a block of training. During this training you could meet lots of other apprentices, so you'll be able to share experiences along the way.
You can have a look at this short film to find out more about apprentices' experiences here in the South of England.
