  • re: SPAMBOOK - Is Facebook becoming the next SPAM medium?

    Yes Adam - Very true... I guess many brands have been doing the same thing! Using employees to SPAM Facebook, Bebo, Twitter & other online mediums to market their service/product! If it is aligned with a solid strategy it might have some hope of working but if everybody has "free reign" to do what they wish then one has to doubt the ...

  • Re: The future of advertising is ONLINE !

    Quite a direct statement and yes, a pretty damn obvious one at that... The question is how will brands succeed? The most interesting thing for me at the moment is how are agencies adhering to this? Here in the Nordics there have been mass lay-offs during the past months in both media / ad agencies. The majority of these lay-offs have been ...

  • ECONOMIC SITUATION - Down or up?

  • re: SPAMBOOK - Is Facebook becoming the next SPAM medium?

    Agreed! It's not a fad & companies need to understand how "social media" channels will fit within their business model. When we are focused on the digital medium, simple campaigns have made these same mistakes in the past and also seem to continue doing so. --> E.g. - Brand wants a summer campaign, they pull in a media agency, ...

  • re: SPAMBOOK - Is Facebook becoming the next SPAM medium?

    Agreed Marcie - At an earlier stage many thought it was a Fad... but obviously most have grown out of that and have realized that in most cases it is essential to understand these mediums and how they will benefit your brand - its going to be a very long path for many and shorter for others! But they key stems back to any original marketing ...

  • re: SPAMBOOK - Is Facebook becoming the next SPAM medium?

    Yes - simply put, many companies just don't have a clear picture of their marketing strategy that fits their business model - in some cases they don't have a clear business model. I've seen Twitter used equally as poorly. There is a fine line between personal promotion or promoting your company and SPAM. We all want to promote ourselves or our ...

  • SPAMBOOK - Is Facebook becoming the next SPAM medium?

     SPAMBOOK - Is Facebook becoming the next SPAM medium? Facebook... the new giant that has a generation almost attached to it. Generation F some call it! The 70's were "free love", the 80's were "rock", the 90's were "grunge", and now... "Social networks - FACEBOOK". So is this new ...
