The Future of Media in a Post-advertising World

Kevin J. Delaney (YC '94) is editor in chief and co-president of Quartz. He was a reporter at The Wall Street Journal for a decade, with that time split between hardship postings in Paris and San Francisco. While covering internet companies such as Google, Twitter, and Facebook for the Journal, he became convinced that newspapers could do much more to ensure that good journalism thrives in the digital age. He returned to New York and became managing editor of WSJ.com, where he led efforts that helped greatly expand the Journal’s online readership and championed innovative journalism projects that went on to win prizes. Early in his career, Kevin was a reporter for SmartMoney Magazine and a TV producer in Montreal. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and was the Hearst digital media professional-in-residence at Columbia University for 2014-15.

Out Of Home Now: 2023

December 5, 2023 | USA

Since a highpoint in 2019, the US OOH market has experienced a series of ups and downs and stops and starts, making it virtually impossible to build for the future. 2023 has proven to be one of the most unpredictable and underwhelming years in recent history. OOH feels stuck in neutral, mired in a world of single digit growth. The time is NOW to break the echo chamber. OOH needs to broaden its outreach, seek opposing viewpoints, and give space to emerging voices. All media formats are challenged, but the opportunity for OOH to rid itself of historical biases and capture greater share (and keep it) has never been clearer. This year, the Ad Club will feature a dynamic group of speakers who will provide insights on how we get ‘unstuck’ and generate consistent growth.
