Managing Marketing

Will Anstee, CEO of the Online Safety Agency, returns to the Managing Marketing podcast to continue the discussion on the issues and opportunities of delivering the benefits and minimising the harm of social media for children and teens. Last time, we discussed the issues facing children and teens using social media and the role parents and families can play. This time, our attention turns to the role that the tech platforms themselves could and do play and the importance of government legislation to protect the public, particularly children.  We also discuss the role that advertisers and their agencies play. After all, children and teens represent a significant marketplace in pester power alone. But when advertisers spend their advertising dollars supporting particular social media platforms, communications channels, and games, they also have a responsibility to do so in a positive way for their customers and society generally.
