Joe’s angle on marketing news you can use.
I have to admit, I am a bit of an Apple fanboy, but, I also have to admit, I am a bit of an Xbox fanboy as well. I imagine this puts me in a tricky situation once the super secretive and highly anticipated Apple televisions come out.
Before that happens, I think it’s worthwhile to [...]
Evidently, according to AdWeek, the IAB’s recent Annual Leadership Meeting was full of hand-wringing and commiserating. Why aren’t we getting more ad dollars, they lamented? Why is TV still kicking our butts?
Some posited that it’s because banner ads don’t build brands. Others said “digital scarcity” should be created because, doggone it, there [...]
About a year ago, I sat across the table from a top executive of a major company, and he said, very plainly, that he believed all online advertising should drive to an online purchase. That was, in his view, the purpose of digital advertising, and anything else was a waste.

For the 7th year in a row, “next year” will be the year that online video explodes. Incidentally, for the 5th year in a row, “next year” will also be the year that mobile advertising explodes.
Ok, so we’ve heard it time and time again that online video is the next great frontier for digital [...]
It used to be that creative departments were the province of the tragically hip. You know who I’m talking about - the cool guys and gals who could get away with wearing wallets on belt chains and wrist watches with leather bands and hair-dos with that look like they took a lot of time to [...]
In a recent article on iMedia, the author makes a case for how brands can make an emotional connection with consumers online. The author’s take on it?
