Welcome back to Intellicast! We have a special guest joining Brian Lamar and Producer Brian this episode – Howard Fienberg of the Insights Association. If you don’t know who Howard is (you should), he is the market research industry’s lobbyist in Washington DC helping ensure that our industry’s perspective is taken into account with lawmakers. He joins the guys to talk about data privacy legislation and a few other topics. Kicking off the episode, Howard gives Brian Lamar and Producer Brian some insights into what a lobbyist actually does, and what his day specifically is like. They then get into a deep discussion around data privacy legislation, including CCPA, the upcoming CPRA, as well as other state-level data privacy laws that are being proposed or that are going into effect soon. As part of this discussion, Howard gives us the inside details on why a federal data privacy law is not likely to come any time soon. He also gives some advice to market research firms on what they should be doing to stay compliant with the various laws. (Keep in mind, Howard is not a lawyer and says so to kick off this interview)In the last 10 minutes of the interview, we switch gears a bit and talk about a recent article Howard published about the use of non-competes in the market research industry, specifically non-compensated ones.This was a great interview you do not want to miss!You can connect with Howard on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/howardfienberg/).You can read the article, Labor Market Competition and Non-Compete Agreements, Howard wrote by clicking here: http://marketingresearch.org/article/labor-market-competition-and-non-compete-agreementsWe have been nominated for the Market Research Podcast of the Year.

Talking Data Privacy Legislation with Howard Fienberg of the Insights Association

Welcome to the SampleCon 2021 Highlights Series. Recorded live in Pasadena, this series is bringing interviews straight to you from exhibitors, speakers and attendees at this year’s event. In this interview, host Jamin Brazil interviews Howard Fienberg, Senior VP of Advocacy at Insights Association.More about SampleCon 2021: https://samplecon.com/Find Howard Online:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/howardfienberg/ Website: https://www.insightsassociation.org/ Find Jamin Online:Email: jamin@happymr.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jaminbrazilTwitter: www.twitter.com/jaminbrazil Find Us Online: Twitter: www.twitter.com/happymrxp LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/happymarketresearch Facebook: www.facebook.com/happymrxp Website: www.happymr.com Music: “Clap Along” by Auditionauti: https://audionautix.com [00:00:00]Jamin Brazil: Hey, everybody. Live at SampleCon. Howard Fienberg, Insights Association, D. C. lobbyist. It is a pleasure to finally put a face to the name, sir.[00:00:11]Howard Fienberg: Likewise, Jamin. Nice to see you in person.[00:00:13]Jamin Brazil: Yeah. We're at SampleCon. What's it like being with people?[00:00:17]Howard Fienberg: It's kind of cool. Been very excited to be here and to just talk to people in person. And I've had a lot of fun.[00:00:25]Jamin Brazil: A lot of people, a lot of market researchers, don't fully- Including myself- Don't fully understand the role that you've played in maintaining our rights to be able to gather information from consumers and for consumers to be able to give us information that we can use to inform business decisions among the brands that we love. Tell us a little bit about your job and what you're doing.[00:00:50]Howard Fienberg: So I play the role of the all purpose representative for the insights industry. And that means that I am meeting with members of Congress and senators and their staff and state legislators and trying to make them aware of the industry itself, which most people aren't aware. I mean, as most folks that are listening to this podcast probably know, even getting your clients to understand what it is that they're talking to them about can be a bit of a challenge. Policy makers are in a similar boat, sometimes worse, because other than talking to them about political polling, it's something that is completely oblivious to them. So I am trying to explain to them, "All right, well here are the Insight Association members in your constituency." And that gets their attention a little bit like, "Oh, potential voters. I'm gonna pay attention to that." But it's a lot about niche policy issues that even a lot of the policy makers don't fully get their heads around, things like data policy, stuff that's bread and butter for the daily operation for almost everybody and certainly in this industry. But, also, other just business issues of taxation. Is there gonna be an extra tax on your- The sell of data or the- Just the revenue of an insights company because they're- Happen to touch a certain state's consumer data and they're gonna get a little excise tax added on for that to punish you for doing research with their- People in their state.[00:02:18]Jamin Brazil: And, of course, they don't frame it as punishment. They frame it as, this is the state where the value is created.[00:02:23]Howard Fienberg: Exactly. Therefore, we're extracting the value from you because you’ve extracted the value from our citizens.[00:02:29]Jamin Brazil: Exactly right.[00:02:30]Howard Fienberg: That is exactly how New York puts it.[00:02:32]Jamin Brazil: So let's talk about a specific example, which you've kind of already talked about one relative to taxation at a state level. Which I can only imagine how complex our world gets if that actually went through. Are there any other specific examples of where you've had to step in and ...

Ep. 421 – SampleCon 2021 Highlights: Howard Fienberg, Senior VP of Advocacy at Insights Association

This month's episode showcases one of the strengths of the Insights Association - Advocacy. Our guest is Howard Fienberg, VP of Advocacy for the Insights Association. We learn about his journey as a lobbyist and helping to shape policy. We also dive into current bills and discussions that are happening like A.B. 2257 in California and their potential impact on the industry. Howard’s work has a direct impact on our industry and is one of the great assets for the industry at large. We do not discuss the iconic How a Bill becomes a Law from Schoolhouse Rock, but there are some laughs and stories shared that we think you will enjoy. The leadership of the Insights Association is made up of some amazing individuals who are passionate and knowledgeable and Howard is a shining example of that. His commitment to the industry dates back to the MRA days and he continues to adapt and advocate virtually, and when the time is right, back in person. A great episode to learn about one of the key differentiators that makes IA invaluable to our industry.We also speak with the GNY Chapter Vice President, Kai Fuentes to learn her story and legacy in the industry. Her passion and perspective have already been felt by the board, and the launch of our Mental Health Task Force was her brainchild.
