Interview: Matt Freeman, CEO GoFish: Were Not Playing Googles Game

While the award had more to do with Tribal DDB’s growth figures, as opposed to its creativity, it was a heady achievement for a 10-year-old digital shop, itself a subsidiary of Omnicom Group’s DDB Worldwide, to have bested the established creative shops. So what did the agency’s founder CEO Matt Freeman decide to do as an encore? Instead of moving up to a higher post within the Omnicom/DDB family, he’s preparing to take the CEO post at OTCBB-traded kid-focused media company and ad network GoFish. He replaces outgoing CEO Michael Downing, who founded the company in 2003. I spoke to Freeman about his decision to leave the agency business behind, how he plans to refocus GoFish’s (OTCBB: GOFH) ad effor

Tele Atlas CEO: Dont Discount Googles Power In Digital Maps Market

Alain de Taeye, CEO of digital map maker Tele Atlas, has said it is wrong to assume there are only four players in the digital navigation world—Nokia (NYSE: NOK), Navteq, Tom Tom and TeleAtlas, because such a notion discounts Google, reports Reuters. De Taeye, speaking at the Reuters Global TMT summit in Paris, noted that it was often thought that the Nokia-Navteq combination would take the pedestrian market for digital maps, while the Tom Tom-Tele Atlas tie-up would grab the automotive side. But the Tele Atlas CEO said that this was not necessarily so, and questioned whether it was more relevant in the pedestrian world that they were owned by Tom Tom, or in fact, already have Google (NSDQ: GOOG) as a “big customer.” (Has de Taeye forgotten that Navteq also supplies Google?)
