2. Long-standing brands stay true to their brand promise.
SESSION: 35 Years of The Onion with Jordan LaFlure, Managing Editor, The Onion; Lauren Moser, Senior Writer, The Onion; Mike Loew, Former Writer, The Onion; and Michael Gewirtzman, Global Vice President, Programming, Advertising Week
KEY INSIGHT: When asked about the longevity of The Onion and the success behind it, the panel explained that The Onion is about satire, and they take that very seriously. Understanding the difference between satire and simply humor is important, and while they will use and include humor in their content, they only do so when it complements or enhances the satirical focus of the content, staying authentic to the brand.
