Why Social Media Can Be Crucial for Consumer Relations
David Ogilvy probably said it best when he noted that, “the consumer isn’t a moron; she is your wife.” As politically incorrect as that may sound these days (‘they’re your partner/significant other/’), he was undeniably spot-on in his assertion — despite how brands might feel about the consumers that are buying their products (they should...
Why Marketing Your Business Should Be Fun
Running a business is difficult enough as is — there’s always payroll to cover, suppliers to pay, customers to talk to. Many, many highs, and even more lows. But that’s the business side of things. Marketing on the other hand, should never feel like business, per say, even if it might be one of the...

What Chad Johnson Can Teach Us All About Social Media
Whatever you want to call Chad Johnson — Chad Ochocinco, the reality tv-star, the well-past-his-prime football player, husband of Evelyn Lozada — he has developed a dedicated following through social media, and particularly Twitter, that is eclipsed by very few people. With over 3.5 million followers on Twitter, Chad has fostered a community of followers...
