-More speculation on whether Martin’s legacy will last as some argue that he commoditized his own agencies.

-One source claims Sorrell resigned in “exasperation” over the probe itself—not because he was worried about details becoming public.

-Adidas welcomes controversy, says it wants to sign Colin Kaepernick as soon he gets a team.

Samuel Scott claims that TV is “still the undisputed leader specifically in brand advertising campaigns,” suggests that Gary Vaynerchuck “knows little about the value of branding.”

-More brands are turning to everyday superfans in the wake of #NuggsforCarter.
