  • So, farewell then...

    So, the time has come. Or rather, the untimely end has come. Revolution is taken off the stands, its feature article spiked. It is, in my opinion, a huge shame. I've been involved in the magazine in one way or another reader, writer, interviewee, critic, blogger for a dozen years. I've seen it change and grow and mature since its ...

  • Here Lies the Wave

    So, I've spent a week or two experimenting with Google Wave. I've had some correspondence with some journalists I know, a Vistage colleague in the US, other people who run digital agencies. And it's been a frustrating experience. I think partly the way they've done the beta release is to blame. It seems that very few large ...

  • Well, what a week

    Well, what a week. I started out the weekend getting my solo gliding certificate, and flying my first four flights with no-one else in the plane. Here's a picture of the KA13 I was flying (it's the red one at the bottom). I then spent most of the rest of the weekend finalising our move into new offices while we wait for the brand new and ...

  • Mixed bag of advertising that fails to build relationships

    After last weeks incredulous blog post about eBay leaping onto Patrick Swayzes demise, and the general state of advertising (Go Compare anyone?), Ive actually been paying a little more attention just in case theres anything good in between the main events. Barclays seems to have caught a great advertising team two ads for two different ...

  • Shame on you eBay

    So, eBay scrapes the bottom of the advertising barrel, with an online banner / MPU combination listing results for Patrick Swayze memorabilia including a 99p video of Dirty Dancing available now on eBay UK. I do hate advertising. In fact, there seems to be very little to redeem it these days. Ever since our ad breaks were transformed into ...

  • An email, by proxy

    I started to write a blog post yesterday about the ethics of signing an eCRM email personally, even though the signer would have been on holiday at the time of broadcast. It was an interesting question, scuppered a little by the vagueness of the ethical dilemma, and thoroughly undermined by the fact I'm off on holiday myself later today with ...

  • Joining the dots between eCRM and acquisition

    Recession indicates retention. The solution (as everyone knows, even if few practice it) to the problems brought about by a severe downturn is first concentrate on what you have, not what you might have. Marketers must must get retention right, for a variety of reasons. - Its where your current revenue is - Its where the lowest ...

  • Motivating the CEO

    - I just had a call from a brand we've been after for a long time they're the world's largest operator in a high profile leisure sector. We've been talking with them on and off for the last few months, but things had gone a little quiet. Now, in a recession, new business prospecting is hard. In fact, as an eCRM agency ...

  • De-fragmenting digital

    - Most clients have a web agency, an online media agency, an online advertising agency... Some have an email delivery platform, or an email marketing agency, SEO and PPC specialists. And then the advertising agency or the sales promotion agency do tactical stuff (virals and vouchers, gobbling money to little useful gain). You might have some of ...

  • Making eCRM sizzle

    ECRM is king. So why isn't everyone doing it? OK, perhaps the rhetorical excuse for a diatribe about how everyone really must start doing it properly is a bit transparent. Actually there might be a perfectly rational explanation, no matter how much I might, as a passionate advocate of eCRM, be wary of it. The answer is very, very ...
