Brave Ad World - Episode 53

It's hard to believe it, but 2012 is here and so is Episode 53 of Brave Ad World. This week Kevin and I do something a little different. Instead of going through the week's headlines, we discuss what to expect in 2012 in the areas of mobile, politics, television and IPOs. We also weigh in on what to expect from Google+ in the upcoming year.

Because there's still some news out there we need to cover, we also discuss the following news quick hits: PhoneDog’s Lawsuit Over Twitter Followers, The All-New YouTube Slam, Unofficial Reports Suggest Incredible Growth for Google+ and Facebook Messenger Comes to Windows 7.

You can find the podcast on iTunes or in the podcast section to add it to your preferred podcast player.

What do you think 2012 has in store? We'd love to hear from you, so leave a comment, find us on Twitter or send us an email to braveadworld [at] gmail [dot] com.

We wish you an awesome 2012!
