Will The Least Efficient Win the Race For The Middle?
Reflecting on my recent experience talking with a range of senior agency leaders, as well as senior practice leads in traditional shops across PR and Direct marketing, the race for the middle (as Forrester calls it) is not only on, it’s getting kinda heated.

The Cognitive Dissonance of Web Metrics
One interesting aspect of watching societal computing habits right now is around metrics. We all love them, we like to see who the influencers are, how many unique vistis happen over a period of time, how many times a cartoon got stumbled.

Get On The Shopping List
People in marketing constantly chatter about “getting a share of wallet,” or “midshare,” or any other myriad metaphors for being so ingrained in a potential customer’s habits and awareness that when it comes time to pull the trigger, that particular brand has become an automatic purchase. Forget the metaphors. What is your brand actually doing [...]

Moving into its third or fourth year as a Web design / marketing mantra, it seems the people marching to the drumbeat of “Death to Microsites,” has had a confluence with Facebook surpassing 300 milion registered users.
