Online Advertising: Consumers Have A Choice

Privacy has long been a hot topic of conversation, but I’m wondering how many consumers even noticed they have a choice? What am I talking about? In a great internal conversation this morning about the value of the Lexus ad being placed on the home page of Yahoo – it was almost completely overlooked that there is now a very small link called “AdChoices” that appears above the ad.

Media Strategy Includes Your Brand

Last week, Google released their new look logo and new look search results pages.  The advent of universal search is everywhere – and I think it is great that Bing is helping to push the envelope.  Although Google still commands more than 60% of the search market share, the combination of Yahoo/Bing search surely will [...]

Digital Display Media Buying

As I’m flying the wonderful airlines known as Southwest, I have hundreds of thoughts in my mind about how companies are using digital media and how other agencies (and publishers) are explaining it to them – and all of these provocations were awoken again by a simple meeting between an Agency Partner of ours, myself and a potential client today.

Search Marketing: You Must Bid on Your Brand

Over the years, I have heard many “professionals” debate how much Search Engine Real-Estate is appropriate when it comes to your own brand terms. What percentage of the listings you must “own”, or what keywords you must be on top for. I have heard that as long as you hold the top natural position, you don’t need the paid positioning. I’ve heard that you need a good mix of both. I’ve heard that with universal search you need a balance of everything. Regardless of what I’ve heard over the years, it is still my professional belief that you need to own EVERY spot on your branded search results as you possibly can.

I #Relish Media Strategy

So over the last couple days, you may have noticed that we’ve engaged in a friendly battle with another agency to try and win “best blog of the month”. Going into it, we simply submitted our blog to see what would happen, but when we saw we were actually getting a few votes, we decided [...]

Something Fresh

Here lately I think most marketers feel like their battles are all uphill. The economy is down, the cost of living up, and demand for products is disappearing (unless you’re Budweiser of course). So what’s an ad agency to do? Work harder? Sure, that’s a given. Work smarter? Hopefully, but some of us are more [...]

Agen”see”

I read an interesting commentary today from a colleague of mine explaining why most agencies still don’t succeed at interactive advertising. The gist of the argument was that poor media buying led to ineffective campaigns. Very true, but I also think this points us to look at the evolution of the “big agency” take on [...]

Marketing/Media Plan for 2013

I think everyone is in agreement that 2008 ended horribly, and 2009 is starting off with longer lines at the unemployment office than at Disney these days (FYI unemployment office workers – Disney started a “fast pass” program a number of years ago that is awesome – you may want to consider it for 09).
