Promoted Tweets and the Next Ad Recovery

Promoted Tweets and the Next Ad Recovery

By Ross Mayfield on April 13, 2010

A lifetime ago I worked on an Eastern European telecom group’s IPO and one of my favorite slides in my deck was borrowed from Goldman Sachs to paint the picture of a Multimedia Cycle. Yes, I said multimedia, but right…

The Benioff Coup. I Almost Got it Right

The Benioff Coup. I Almost Got it Right

By Zoli Erdos on April 7, 2010

Watching Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff interview Mike Arrington @ Davos in January, I predicted the Big Marc was after a new job in media.  It all felt confirmed when Benioff launched a series of posts at TechCrunch (although I suspected a fellow XXXXX blogger wrote his posts). But now it looks the other way around: […]

Ken Doctor’s 12 Trends of Newsonomics

Ken Doctor’s 12 Trends of Newsonomics

By Ramana Rao on April 5, 2010

Ken Doctor’s recent book, Newsonomics is a fine tour of the forces (a tour de force) transforming the news industry as we enters “the Digital News Decade.” Though the disruption has been underway for a dozen years and the crisis for the news industry crescendoed to a clamor in 2009, it is still too early […]

In Search of the Obvious - cutting through the marketing mess

In Search of the Obvious – cutting through the marketing mess

By David Terrar on February 8, 2010

When I first tweeted that Jack Trout’s new book “In Search of the Obvious” had arrived from Amazon, my mate @euan suggested his (excellent) blog is actually easy to find. He called it “The Obvious” because when he started writing about the application of new technology and social media in organizations, he felt that, actually, […]

Is Video a Crock?  It's Certainly Not the New Holy Grail.  Get Off the Screen, Dudes.

Is Video a Crock? It's Certainly Not the New Holy Grail. Get Off the Screen, Dudes.

By Zoli Erdos on February 2, 2010

Many of you will recognize the title – borrowed from “Enterprise 2.0 a Crock” Dennis Howlett. Needless to say I was quite interested in his discussion with David Terrar, who is more of an E20 fan. Hm…hard to watch.  Dennis is too loud while David is barely audible.  I kept on turning the volume up […]

Newsday’s Paywall… the Numbers are in

Newsday’s Paywall… the Numbers are in

By Jeff Nolan on January 26, 2010

In October of last year I wrote that Newsday’s paywall would fail to attract new revenue and as a defensive pricing strategy it does little or merit. In the final analysis, this is exactly why it will fail. By creating a pricing plan that defends rather than attacks a market the company is conceding defeat […]

Does a picture paint a thousand words?

Does a picture paint a thousand words?

By David Terrar on January 22, 2010

I’ve been spending a lot of time in the last few weeks thinking about the basics of presentations combined with how you get the positioning and messaging for your product right.  To help I’ve been reading Jack Trout‘s In Search of the Obvious, a marketing book which is all about making sure you focus your […]

Good Luck Steering the Titanic

Good Luck Steering the Titanic

By Zoli Erdos on December 3, 2009

USA Today’s (former) Travel Editor blogs her last day, after getting laid off: But what bothers me the most is what my firing represented. See, I’ve been learning all the tricks that a modern multi-platform journalist is supposed to know. In the past 22 months, I’ve blogged, tweeted, shot photos and videos, and handled speaking […]

Build the Brand or the Business? - O2 and BT

Build the Brand or the Business? – O2 and BT

By David Terrar on November 14, 2009

When it comes to the real principles of marketing I’ve always been guided by Al Ries and Jack Trout.  Their books like Positioning, Marketing Warfare, or The 22 Immutable Laws Of Marketing are essential reading.  Even though some of the material is over 20 years old, it’s still perfectly valid in today’s market.  Jump in with 22 Immutable Laws (from 1993) – just over a fiver well spent on Amazon (and get Seth Godin’s Meatball Sund…
