Neil Vogel’s Post

Super excited and proud to bring this back! And I can't thank Neil Vogel, DeLonzo Rhodes, and all of DDM enough for supporting this initiative 🙏 Just Launched: Good Impressions! Good Impressions is Dotdash Meredith's pro-bono media and marketing consultation program for BIPOC and LGBTQIA-owned businesses. Our mission is to help bridge the wealth and social gap for minority-owned small businesses. Representation is important to DDM — but it's not just something we talk about. Through Good Impressions, we'll amplify diverse voices and empower small businesses. Winners will receive a $250K ad campaign and consultation along the way. Do you identify as BIPOC or LQBTQIA and have a small business? Apply Now! https://lnkd.in/eHMvck8K

Truly humbled and so very grateful to be part of Ad Age's 2024 Leading Women list, packed with 39 boundary-pushing peers (two of whom, Mrinalini Nair and Eileen Kiernan, I started my career with at Health magazine—another, Kory Marchisotto, who I've been lucky to work with in various ways for decades). Congratulations to ALL of you! Reading this writeup left me filled with gratitude... ⚪ For the leaders who support me and my teams everyday: Neil Vogel, Alex Ellerson, Tim Quinn—you're true allies and lifters of women across the organization and in life. ⚫ For my team of brilliant innovators, lead by Wendy Naugle, Charlotte Triggs, Kathryn Vandervalk, Patrick Gomez, Jo Bray, Sally Holmes, Hallie Gould, Alexandra Brez—your free thinking and commitment to raising the bar each day are the reason for so many of these accolades. 🔵 For some of the best partners in the business (Meredith Worsham, Tory Brangham, Andrew Gorenstein, Alysia Borsa, Melissa Guy, Stacy Nathan, Tory Brangham, Melanie Berliet, Jordan Kingston and so many more)—your daily feedback makes me smarter and your positive energy fills my cup. 🔴 For those who set the stage and taught me so much about content and collaboration (Joanna Coles, Donna Kalajian Lagani, Robin Domeniconi, Kate White, Colleen Sullivan, Aya Kanai, Holly Whidden, Joyce Chang...) This writeup sheds light on the forward-thinking work we do at Dotdash Meredith. Our 40 brands' legacies may run deep but the humans behind them have a sixth sense to nimbly pivot and evolve them on the fly. The root of our success is our content—a storytelling prowess (the best in the business!) that satiates our fans and enables our partnerships to soar—as well as our commitment to take bold swings in this ever-changing world of advertising and media. Lucky to be a part of it, especially at a moment when women are being recognized more and more for making the workplace smarter, healthier and more groundbreaking. Thank you Ad Age for seeing us.

BIG: Dotdash Meredith, one of the largest digital publishers in the country, has inked a licensing deal and strategic partnership with OpenAI — Deal includes licensing archive to train OpenAI algorithms and strategic partnership to develop new products — In a first for digital media, OpenAI says it will help Dotdash Meredith use AI tools to improve its ad-targeting solution D/Cipher — Why it matters: This is a big, bold move from CEO Neil Vogel, Jonathan Roberts, Meredith Worsham and team. Dotdash is reliant on advertising traffic from intent-based search queries. GenAI is expected to have a significant impact on publishers who rely on that type of traffic. DDM clearly believes this deal will help them get ahead of it. Story on Axios:
