How Google Outsmarted Facebook and What it Means for Marketers

So, how did Facebook end up taking all the heat for this privacy stuff, while Google sat back quietly and dodged the bullets? On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam talk about the absolute brilliance of Google.

Google watched Facebook take the heat for all the iOS 14 p...

On today’s bite-sized episode, host Kasim Aslam is talking about his favorite topic (cue the sarcasm): funnels.
