TheStreet: November 9, 2016. Potentially more sweeping for media companies is the notion that spending on advertising for television and print could slide if uncertainties about Trump's fiscal and trade policy destabilize the U.S. economy. "There will be a major reassessment of marketing commitments," said Peter Kreisky, a longtime consultant to media companies in New York.

If we head straight into a recession, clearly that will have a big impact on advertisers."

A number of ad-tech purchases, including MySpace parent Viant, put Time Inc in position to offer advertisers all the targeting and automation capabilities that advertisers now expect. “It was gutsy to move away from a print-based, ad-driven model into a digital, scale-driven model,” said Peter A.

NEW YORK POST. February 5, 2016. “Creating a shared services unit like this for print is a very smart move in an industry now defined by content and audience across many platforms,” said industry consultant Peter Kreisky.

DIGIDAY, JAN 26, 2016. “Data-driven journalism is the new hot thing. It’s a burgeoning field,” said Peter Kreisky, founder of Kreisky Media Consultancy, who compared Morning Consult’s approach to similar data-driven efforts at FiveThirtyEight and The Upshot. But the business model around the approach is still unproven. “As to Morning Consult scaling the model and competing effectively, the jury’s out,” he said.
