ill-advised Instagram posts was made to go on a listening tour of Jewish leaders, sources tell The Post.CAA agent Maha Dakhil, 48, who represents A-listers including Tom Cruise and Madonna, is still working at the firm, despite resigning from its internal board after coming under fire for her posts.We’re told she went to meet Hollywood rabbi, Steve Leder, of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, as well as Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti Defamation League.A company source told us: “Maha has divided CAA — there are some Jewish agents who feel very strongly that she should learn from what she did and that she should definitely be sanctioned, if not sacked.“But there was also a feeling that CAA had to be careful because they could face rebellion from staff who thought that Maha was being muzzled from expressing her own opinions.”Dakhil’s actions led to Oscar-winning “The Social Network” writer Aaron Sorkin quitting CAA in protest and jumping over to rival WME.The source said: “Maha looked like she was going to be the next heir apparent at CAA, and one f-up has called her judgement into question.“At work, she’s always been very professional, but she’s rubbed some people the wrong way and tended to make herself the story, with selfies with the stars and attending all the parties.”As for now, Dakhil has wiped her Instagram of all her starry photos and has not posted since the debacle.The Post has reached out to CAA for comment.And while Hollywood gets back to work after the strike, CAA has more issues as the agency is being sued by actress Julia Ormond over convicted rapist and former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.The complaint, filed last month, alleges that CAA top brass, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane encouraged her
After Amazon Posts 26% Q3 Ad Revenue Jump, CEO Andy Jassy Says Tech Giant Has “Barely Scraped The Surface” With Madison Avenue
27.10.2023 - 00:11 / deadline.com
As it grew into a tech behemoth over its first two decades, Amazon was regarded as a sleeping giant in the digital advertising business, largely ceding the market to the duopoly of Facebook and Google.
It is now very much awake – and CEO Andy Jassy believes it has “barely scraped the surface” of the opportunity.
In its stellar third-quarter earnings report Thursday afternoon, Amazon said its advertising services business jumped 26% from the same quarter a year ago, topping $12 billion. (That outpaced the 13% growth rate for total revenue, which hit $143.1 billion.) Advertising is now more than twice the $5 billion size of just three years ago, thanks in part to the 2022 arrival of NFL Thursday Night Football as a Prime Video exclusive.
Last month, Prime Video also said it would begin running ads on movies and shows, part of a more comprehensive effort to position the company’s many platforms as ad vehicles. Amazon has recently become an anchor tenant at the NewFronts in New York, a springtime week of pitches by digital platforms to brand marketers held on the eve of the traditional TV upfronts.
Speaking on the company’s quarterly earnings call with analysts, Jassy called out the success of the NFL, which has seen a 25% rise in viewership through the first six games this season. The exec also sees the company making operational strides.
“We’re doing much better on the advertising side than we did in our first year,” Jassy said, calling the NFL “a property that’s really valuable. … Advertisers want to be in front of customers” and most customers watch football. In its earnings release, Amazon said its NFL viewers are 47 years old on average, seven years younger than those watching on linear TV.”
