Yet, companies are not investing sufficiently in developing digital skills.

There is high demand for skills in areas like mobile, analytics and social media, but companies continue to rely heavily on traditional methods for sourcing digital talent. HR functions are also not actively involved in skills development.
To address the skills shortage, companies need to provide training, use innovative recruitment, partner with startups, and make targeted acquisitions. Programs like employee exchanges can help accelerate skills development.
- Companies recognize the shortage of digital skills as a key hurdle to digital transformation, yet less than half are investing in developing these skills. Existing training efforts are not well aligned with digital strategies.
- Traditional methods like training and recruitment are still relied on most for sourcing digital talent, as opposed to innovative methods like acquisitions. HR is also not actively involved in skills development for the most part.
- The skills most in demand are mobile, analytics, and social media, but companies report shortages in possessing these skills themselves. There is a need for professionals with both business and technical understanding to bridge existing divides.

SCOTUS Launches New Economy with Legalized Sports BettingMSL
In a 6-3 decision in the case Murphy vs. National Collegiate Athletic Association, SCOTUS ruled that because Congress exceeded its constitutional authority when it passed PAPSA. In essence, Congress tried to prohibit state legislatures from repealing their existing statues that outlawed sports betting. Under a line of Supreme Court precedent known as the anti-commandeering doctrine, federal efforts to coerce states into enforcing federal law are unconstitutional violations of the Tenth Amendment.
To say this is just the beginning would be cliché, but what SCOTUS has wrought with its decision will have lasting consequences that go far beyond sports betting.

The document groups the individuals and provides affiliations for each to help understand the relationships that may influence the Trump administration.
The ICCO Global Summit which took place in Oxford, UK, from 29-30 September, 2016 offered two days of great conversations with colleagues coming from all over the world. MSLGROUP's SVP & Chief Strategy Officer, Pascal Beucler was invited to discuss why Branded Content and Entertainment are a new boundary, and a sweet spot to hit for PR professionals.
Based on Pascal's experience last June at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, as a juror in the newly created Entertainment Jury: this has been a week-long fantastic experience, evaluating how talent and ample narrative formats can elevate content into the cultural mainstream.
Role of Millennials and their Impact on Reputation ManagementMSL
This document discusses the role and impact of Millennials on reputation management. It notes that Millennials are the largest and most diverse generation, with significant spending power. They expect businesses to have a clear purpose and take stands on issues like climate change. The document advocates for reputation management strategies that focus on purpose, corporate citizenship, employer value proposition, and social openness. It argues businesses must align with causes Millennials care about to attract them as consumers, employees, and brand advocates. Micro initiatives that create measurable impact are more credible than broad promises. An authentic approach through conversations and shared experiences online is needed to effectively engage Millennials.

“This research brings a positive light into the AI landscape in Brazil. The theme has become priority – or fairly priority –
for more than 86% of participants and 62% of them acknowledged AI to be part of their organization’s 5-year strategy.
With a huge impact in branding and positioning (68%) and in the go-to market customer experience companies will
offer (76%). This requires Communications agencies to respond to it, offering as much as they can in terms of
solutions – in fact, 64% of interviewees think this is already happening.
But ‘offering as much as they can’ is just the beginning. The fact is that indexes of what companies are currently using,
the reality shows that the item that scores higher is the current investments in training and educating workforce in AI –
and this relates to 42% of all replies. Every other item scores around 30%, even media-buying (20%) or personalized
services to individual customers (22%) or other automated processes – these are still just scratching the surface.
There is still a long way to go in terms of real applications – a natural process of any new technology adoption curve. A
clear exciting market opportunity for agencies that prepare to offer real strategic thinking about how AI can be used
and also the ability to implement programs as well.
The tip of the iceberg has been conquered. Now it’s time for Brazil to go further.”

How ready do you think consumers in China are for AI-enabled engagement with the brands?
“In China, we know that all brands are looking forward to know how AI can
benefit their business and communication, and while several are hands-on in
implementing AI in their work – basic functions like semantic recognition is
already being used in different areas and for several brands - many still have a
lot of catching up to do.
Like the survey demonstrates, among the companies who are or are planning
to leverage AI, marketing is where most of their focus is. Where companies
should increase efforts though should be in trying to
eliminate from the communications professionals job role repetitive and
rudimentary tasks so as to enhance efficiency. AI can also be leveraged more
in pre-campaign market research and for user engagement during
campaigns.
As we continue to take advantage of the opportunities AI presents, it is
important to remember that while we leverage this technology, it will be
necessary to retain the human touch, especially in user-oriented scenarios
and interactions.”

“President Emmanuel Macron established artificial intelligence (AI) as a priority
for his first term, promising to inject 1.5 billion euros into its development in
France. Since 2015, Samsung, Fujitsu and DeepMind (Google) have all joined
Facebook in moving their European AI R&D centers to Paris. Whilst
technological innovation booms in France, we also know that concerns
surrounding data security and consumer privacy reign strong. The results of this
study confirm that dichotomy, showing marketing and communications experts'
growing interest in Artificial Intelligence whilst revealing the considerable dose
of skepticism that persists in France towards rapidly evolving new technologies.
We believe that this technology is changing not only the way consumers think
and interact but also the way business operate and allocate resources. As a full
service communications group, we have a responsibility to educate our clients
on the benefits that AI can offer and leverage those benefits to improve the
relevance and efficacy of our communications programs. Over half of the French
respondents acknowledged that their company is increasing its strategic
investments in AI and redefining its positioning to account for the changes
AI brings, which is precisely why we need to remain at the forefront of this
technological revolution.”

How ready do you think consumers in Germany are for AI-enabled engagement with the brands?
“In the German market, there is a lot of talk around AI, but not a lot of action. This is quite evident from the survey –
while a majority express interest in AI and take initiatives to stay abreast of the latest developments, very few confess
to actually implementing AI applications in their work.
Theoretically, we know quite a bit about AI but not many have executed an AI-driven campaign and brought it to life.
The survey also reflects the need for tightened security with AI – data privacy is a major concern in Europe, and any
implementation of AI will be subject to scrutiny. Before we start to implement AI in our work on a large scale, we will
need to work around the security concerns.
In communications, AI can help internally with core administrative tasks that currently take up too much time;
externally, it can make our data-driven work smarter.
This is the next step: we need help organizing and interpreting all the data we know have access to. This goes towards
understanding real influence to selecting the right people (influencers, journalists, etc.) to work with to being smarter
with targeting (mainly for marketing, thus important for the media agencies) to creating better content resonating
with our target groups. And of course measuring the impact of what we do.
Our work is becoming more and more data-driven and tool-based – and smart AI solutions will be the engines of these
tools and accelerate the adoption of them”

“AI in India is seeing tremendous innovation but its uptake in business
operations is limited as reflected by the survey results where only half of the
respondents are already in the process of utilising AI based solutions. Indian
respondents find employee training, marketing and creativity as the two areas
where they will find maximum application for AI in the realm of
communications; a reflection of products already in the market and being
considered for implementation. That said, there is a clear understanding of
both the opportunities and the challenges that AI presents and a majority are
very bullish on the increased usage for internal and customer facing purposes.
While organisations are gearing up for this paradigm change, only half feel
that their communications partners are ready to provide the strategic and
implementation support for AI driven programs.”

How ready do you think consumers in Germany are for AI-enabled engagement with the brands?
“While this is subjective, there is a tendency for Italian companies to
overestimate their own investment in AI. Some may include even other digital
tools under the AI umbrella – so it's important for companies to identify and
prioritize their investments.
“Data” is the keyword to really open our future to artificial intelligence, and
companies might invest in contaminating teams, including people with
research background and no advertising/communication background, plus
advanced technologies to merge all these data into a unique, shareable
basket.
The main Italian risk is, as we can see in the survey, that our people are very
concerned about privacy (too much in many cases, but it's just my opinion). In
order to be leaders in an AI-driven future, believing in the power of
knowledge should be stronger than fear to win on business.”

22. What our respondents in Poland think about consumers' readiness for
AI-enabled engagement with brands:
“After observing changes that have been taking place on the market over
recent years, it is clear that AI-powered technology and solutions are fast
approaching. AI has already had quite a significant impact on such segments
as marketing. Answers given by survey respondents’ show that the vast
majority of people believe that AI will play a vital role in shaping the future of
the workplace. However, nearly a quarter of respondents believe that
communications agencies (advertising, PR, digital and media) do not leverage
AI as much as they could for their clients – citing a lack of AI expertise and a
lack of understanding of how to apply AI as the main reason for this. AI-
focused education and trainings both on agency and client side are key to
comprehend, apply and fully reap the benefits brought on by the expansion
of AI.”

“Artificial intelligence in communications is here to stay and it has an
increasingly important role in our day to day lives. However, we don’t believe
it will, or should replace human intelligence, particularly in our core
competencies of creativity and strategic consultancy. UK participants took a
typically balanced view to AI’s future potential, with 33% of respondents from
this market confident that AI will increase jobs for communications
professionals (one of the highest percentages of all markets surveyed) while
47% believed that there were both positive and negative implications from
the technology – the most sceptical of all the markets surveyed.”

“The survey results show that most people are currently using AI tools for e-
commerce, manufacturing or production, but not really for
PR/advertising/marketing. As we can see, only 11% say their companies are
using AI for advertising and media buying. Could be something interesting
there about what AI would mean for digital advertising. AI could theoretically
run your whole campaign – pull a bunch of images based on keywords, write
its own copy, shuffle around creative and copy until it finds the best
performing combos, figure out which platforms things perform best on, shift
the budget around as needed, etc. – where, if anywhere, will there still be a
need for human insight/strategy? Or how AI will affect influencer marketing –
would it improve influencer marketing by making it more accurate, make it
more important because as AI rises more people will be looking for the
“personal” connection, or make it obsolete because people realize that
influencer marketing is being driven by AI/algorithms like everything else?”
