Hi Fishbowl! Are there any Media Buyers or Marketing pros interested in learning about a new potential partnership? I represent Vericast, and we are a national managed service marketing technology company. We combine privacy conscious targeting with direct mail and/or digital media activations. The beauty of our platform is that we can measure performance at a household level, including incrementality. If this intrigues you, please feel free to DM me or comment below. Cheers!

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.
