Facebook wants to crash this year's TV upfront ad-buying cycle, during which TV networks and advertisers negotiate year-long deals. But for Facebook to take a seat at the negotiating table, the social network will need to act and talk like TV, ad buyers said.

For Digiday+ members: ITV is going all in on addressable advertising with a plan to let advertisers use ad tech to buy its VOD content before the end of the year.

Facebook wants creators to use its platform to drive subscriptions, but some creators aren't biting.

Anyone who has made the jump from a legacy media business to a tech company like Facebook, Apple, Amazon or Google will have experienced a culture shock. But in many ways, transitioning the opposite way is tougher.

Hear how leading retail brands are targeting new consumers by catering to the modern customer and finding where they fit in people's lives at the Digiday Retail Summit in Austin, Texas from April 29-May 1.
