    INDIANAPOLIS --

    Young & Laramore has announced new leadership at its EchoPoint Media, as Shannon Quinn and Lindsey Warner will both be taking on the titles of VP, media director. Together, they will lead EchoPoint into its third decade, following the retirement of Terri Reilly, the media icon who has led Y&L’s media planning and buying company since its inception 21 years ago.

    Quinn is an Indiana University graduate in telecommunications who began her media career in Chicago, but returned to Indianapolis to join EchoPoint Media during its early years in 1999. Quinn quickly grew into leadership roles at EPM due to her media savvy and passion for collaboration with both clients and media partners alike. Throughout her career, she’s led the media planning and buying for a wide variety of brands including Speedway convenience stores, IU Health, Goodwill retail stores and Steak n Shake restaurants.

    Warner is a graduate from the University of Kansas in journalism and strategic communications. Warner’s media career has taken her all over the country, including tours in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Chicago, driving the digital media strategy for brands like Tootsie Roll, MGM Resorts and Jimmy Johns. Warner joined EchoPoint Media to build its digital media practice and has done just that as the digital director, while leading the media strategy for brands like Brizo, Trane, Key Hero and IU Online.

    Tom Denari will be taking on the dual role as president of Young & Laramore and EchoPoint Media, to help support Quinn and Warner as they continue to nurture and grow EchoPoint for the benefit of its clients.

    Supreme Court Allows Multibillion-Dollar Class Action Lawsuit To Proceed Against Meta

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    The Supreme Court is allowing a multibillion-dollar class action investors' lawsuit to proceed against Facebook parent Meta, stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

    The justices heard arguments in November in Meta's bid to shut down the lawsuit. On Friday, they decided that they were wrong to take up the case in the first place.

    The high court dismissed the company's appeal, leaving in place an appellate ruling allowing the case to go forward.

    Investors allege that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users' personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump 's first successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.

    Inadequacy of the disclosures led to two significant price drops in the price of the company's shares in 2018, after the public learned about the extent of the privacy scandal, the investors say.

    Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company was disappointed by the court's action. "The plaintiff's claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the District Court," Stone said in an emailed statement.

    Meta already has paid a $5.1 billion fine and reached a $725 million privacy settlement with users.

    Cambridge Analytica had ties to Trump political strategist Steve Bannon. It had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign.

    The lawsuit is one of two high court cases involving class-action lawsuits against tech companies. The justices also are wrestling with whether to shut down a class action against Nvidia.... Read More
