Mediaboss Marketing

Some parts of Twitter's source code - the fundamental computer code on which the social network runs - were leaked online, the social media company said in a legal filing that was first reported by The New York Times.

According to the legal document, first filed with the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California on Friday, Twitter had asked GitHub, an internet hosting service for software development, to take down the code where it was posted. The platform complied and said the content had been disabled, according to the filing.

The company also asked the court to identify the alleged individual or group that posted the information without Twitter's authorization. It's seeking names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media profile data and IP addresses associated with the user account "FreeSpeechEnthusiast" which is suspected of being behind the leak. The name is an apparent reference to Twitter's billionaire owner, Elon Musk, who described himself as a free speech absolutist.

"While this is the internal source code, including internal tools, the biggest immediate risk seems to be reputational," Olejnik said "It highlights the broader problem of Big Tech, which is insider risk," and could undermine trust between Twitter's employees or internal teams, he said.

Musk had promised earlier this month that Twitter would open source all the code used to recommend tweets on March 31, saying that people "will discover many silly things, but we'll patch issues as soon as they're found!" He added that being transparent about Twitter's code will be "incredibly embarrassing at first" but will result in "rapid improvement in recommendation quality."

The leak creates another challenge for Musk, who bought Twitter in October for $44 billion and took the company private. Twitter has since been engulfed in chaos, with massive layoffs and an exodus of advertisers fearful of exposure on the platform to looser rules on potentially inflammatory posts.

Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission is probing Musk's mass layoffs at Twitter and trying to obtain his internal communications as part of ongoing oversight into the social media company's privacy and cybersecurity practices, according to documents described in a congressional report.

According to sources, Musk suggested taking over OpenAI and becoming its boss, but the other founders, including current CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, rejected his proposal, leading to his departure from the company and an unfulfilled promise.

Social media influencers were given free trips to South Australia to watch an "exclusive"concert by British singer Sam Smith in exchange for two or three posts on their accounts according to documents obtained by the ABC.

The state government said areview ofits tourism strategy would be released in Aprilafter facing criticism for the event, held at d'Arenberg winery in McLaren Vale.

Documents provided to the ABC under Freedom of Information revealinfluencers invited by the South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) were asked toideally postdaily Instagram stories, which last only 24 hours, while enjoying free mealsandaccommodation in Adelaide.

Some were also asked to publish one or two TikTok videos and an Instagram post.

While influencers including Melbourne couple "Taz and Alessia", posted extensively about their trips,ABC checks on multiple social media influencers after the event, and this week, show some had no permanent posts about the trip or concert on their accounts.

Could not display Instagram

Some posts may have expired due to a platforms automatic time constraints, or may have been deleted.

The documents show influencers were given meals at restaurants such as The Lane Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills and Golden Boy in the CBD.

Some influencers stayed a number of nights at five-star hotels, including the Sofitel and Eos by SkyCity, while airport and venue transfers were also paid for.

Internet searches indicate the commercial cost of an itinerary provided to an interstate influencer attending the event would be approximately $2,000.

It is understood any actual costs covered by the State Government may have been lower due to pre-existing arrangements.

The SATC offered the "exclusive" trip to influencers recommended by TikTok Australia and Instagram influencers with high numbers of followers or who fit the desired demographic, including members of theLGBTQIcommunity.

"This is a contra opportunity. Talent is expected to post and tag @southaustralia across their owned channels in exchange for the experience and inclusions outlined above," the invite to influencers said.

Contra means payment in products or services, something typical in tourism, entertainmentand hospitality promotion.

In a statement, SATC saidcosts for the event were shared with Frontier Touring, the company which is bringing Smith to Australia for a series of concerts later this year.

"The hosting costs of the event were shared by the SATC and Frontier Touring," it said.

"Venue hire and all beverages during the event were provided as contra (free-of-charge) by the d'Arenberg Cube."

The SATC also said Frontier Touring was responsible for bringing interstate and international media and secured coverage in major outlets.

Tourism Minister Zoe Bettison said the state government was still finalising its full report "capturing" data about the impact of the event for the tourism industry.

She said that report would include the number of social media posts published by influencers given taxpayer-funded benefits to attend.

"That data is going to be fully captured in the report that will come out end of April," Ms Bettison said.

Ms Bettison said social media posts were "requested" by the state government in exchange for attendance, as opposed to being a "condition" of the invitations.

"It was a request, which is a common request, when we host people in these famils, which is commonly used in the tourism industry," she said.

"We asked them to do photos, tagging, and promote our state.

"That's why they are there, to post, it's common practice and that's what they did.

"Sam Smith was an opportunity for us. It was a promotional concert and if it wasn't here in front of the d'Arenberg cube, it would be in front of the Sydney Opera House.

"You've got to remember what we got out of this event we got $32 million of advertising value."

Despite defending the strategy, the state government at the time announced a reviewamid calls for greater transparency about how much was spent.

In January, Tourism Minister Zoe Bettison defended the event, saying thegovernment's successful bid to host Sam Smith's promotion to their2023 Australian tour cost less than half a million dollars.

The FOI documents disclosed that someinfluencers with a large following declined the offer when they were told they would not be paid per post.

"Given this is an exclusive experience, there is no budget for talent fees," the SATC told their agents.

The documents also revealed SATC had been warned by a United States-based marketing consultant that the event was "too niche to drive bookings from US" and would only be useful for "awareness" if certain conditions were met.

They also show 21 SATC staff attended the event, 12 of whom were "volunteers", who filled roles as ushers and were not paid for their time.

Identifying the most effective metrics and prioritising the right opportunities for your marketing spend will help you to make the strategic decisions that will drive brand growth, even in an uncertain economic climate.

We explored how proactively investing in brand tracking can help you navigate risksduring an economic downturn. Now, its time to ensure you get more bang for your buck. Let us walk you through the importance of understanding your brand performance and how to use brand trackingto ensure your business remains successful throughout any recession or when facing headwinds.

Evidence from one of our clients during the last recession shows just how important the right marketing investment is to grow your brand. During the 2008 recession, a leading premium chocolate brand was facing pressure from its global headquarters to reduce its media budget by 40% following a weak sales season. However, based on evidence from their Kantar brand guidance programme, our client increased media pressure relative to competitors and achieved stronger communications awareness than all other brands (premium and non-premium).

And our tracking database shows that when brands (at least) maintain their communications awareness, all other brand measures hold up.

Based on our experience, this is how understanding brand performance can lead to brand growth:

The reality is, in times of economic downturn, it takes courage and vision to increase your marketing spend. However, with the right brand monitoring tools, you can start marketing on a budget that works for you, whilst maximising your marketing spend ROI.

Here are some examples of how successful brands use brand tracking to maximise their ROI and drive brand growth.

The right metrics allow brands to steer their marketing strategies to reach and appeal to their target audience. They focus on the needs of the business, aligning metrics with specific goals. For example, if you are a small brand with tight budgets you should focus on campaigns that create brand awareness and use media that is super targeted to your potential customers, to generate short-term wins. Your tracking metrics should then align to these business objectives.

Tip: Investment in digital marketing continues to increase. With brand health tracking, you can identify missing opportunities so that your brand can drive growth by focussing on the right channels. This means you can allocate the correct amount of marketing spend to these areas and avoid spreading your brand budget too thinly and slowing your brand growth.

With the right brand tracking tools, brands understand both the live, in-market impact and the reasons for specific market reactions. This helps them modify their campaign approach and ensure their marketing strategy is bolstered by the content consumers encounter.

Tip: Real-time data can solve some of your problems. As a marketer, you also need to know what to do and where to tweak your campaign. Kantar brand trackingtools will give you the right metrics to assess campaign performance, identify the weak creative and course correct to meet your goals. Reliable metrics can provide the signposts you need to allocate your resources and set you up for success.

When you are planning your marketing spendduring an economic crisis, the main challenge is to make your investment go as far as possible. Success comes from connecting your actions from a holistic point of view, ensuring a seamless campaign without the need for big budgets or data blending.
