Cisco - The Human Network, Indeed…

A bit of a dramatic title for some long overdue news. Just tonight I saw on CNN the new ad campaign that Cisco is rolling out. “The Human Network” I suppose would be the campaigns title, since that’s what they’re branding themselves with now.
I mentioned this was a bit overdue, and I would guess some […]

Birthdays are great marketing tools…

Birthday’s are for sure marketing tools. Yesterday was my birthday and I can’t even remember how many e-mails I got from different companies and brands wishing me the best of days, and many more to come.
CRM, when built and used right, is a great way to keep in touch with customers, and of course, with […]

Discovering “Pinko Marketing”

I found a great site (via Logic+Emotion) called “Pinko Marketing“. It is essentially a wiki with what they call a new way of marketing.

Whoa, Twitter!

Sometimes we, as marketers, believe that by making something feel and sound real, we’ll get the attention needed and have a successful campaign. However, […]

In (brand) LOVE we trust…

Little things bring humanity as a whole together as LOVE. This human quality has transcended time and place to get right to the hearts and minds of the people inhabiting this planet; and although it is something we constantly live with, very few thinking goes into researching love.
