Bill Bean Nomenclature Overload Achieved - Thanks Google Wave!

I wasn't that interested in Google Wave until I realized I had been left out in the cold. Now I feel so...September 2009.

First, email is not antiquated. Sheesh! Now I really feel old. Seriousl… Continue

Jeb Banner Focus

I just returned from a week's vacation. I spent some of the time reading "100 Best Business Books of All Time". After about thirty 2 page summaries I noticed an overall trend- focus. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people and organizations is clearly pegged to their ability to focus. This extends to their "Hedgehog" as well as th… Continue

Patric Welch Express and Quick-Start Perfect Match for New Web Site

I try not to make a habit of blatantly self-promoting Noobie in my blog but I think an exception arises every so often. This blog post is one such exception. I promise to keep it short and sweet. Recently, Express Employment Professionals hired me to build a quick-start web site for them. The end result is one of my proudest web site accomplishments. And I even got some pretty cool free press out of it. Check it out...… Continue

Jim Mathews A Site Called Ted

By Jim Mathews It is my intent that every day I learn something new. Sometimes this experience can come from a book or walking out the door. Today I leaned a whole lot from a website called Ted.com. I found this to be one of the most sophisticated and time well spent website I have seen in a long time. My journey through Ted started out with a video that discussed the origin of the World Wide Web twenty years ago by… Continue

Jillian Koeneman Increase Your Web Site Conversation Rate Through A/B Split Testing

We’ve been doing a lot of re-branding exercises here at Effect lately. Our graphic designer has been testing multiple new logo concepts. Yesterday he printed out some logo variations and taped them to the wall for us to look at and give feedback on. I found myself looking at the logos differently depending on where I saw them (online vs on the wall). In addition, having the… Continue

Leila Wheeler Tips from Cassis - Fragmented Marketing

While it is beneficial to look internally to see how your brand is evolving, it is just as important to analyze how your brand is promoted. Often times when we begin working with a new client we see multiple vendors involved in the marketing component of a business. Once you begin promoting your brand, it is easy to hire a person to design your logo, another person to design your web site, and still someone else to design an ad that appears in a publication. The challenge you may face when hiri… Continue

Leila Wheeler Tips from Cassis - Branding Basics

When it comes to maintaining a brand, consistency is key. However, it can become difficult to ensure that that consistency is achieved when multiple marketing pieces are used to communicate with clients. One way to evaluate where your brand is at is to conduct a brand audit. A brand audit takes an in-depth look at your marketing pieces, both individually and as a whole, by analyzing their components, including color, logos, graphics, copy, messaging, etc. How do you conduct a brand audit? Tak… Continue

Timothy Skaggs Change is in the air of IE

Many companies and organizations with a web presence are now starting to move forward with their web standards. This means more interactive site, better management of content, and the use of better software. Each stage in web development starts with the needs of the client and user, but sometimes those needs can not be met as easily as they should. Currently, there are more than four browsers (with 3+ versions of each) that must be kept in mind when developing for the client. Most current brows… Continue

Mike Magan If you make a Provocative Statement - be prepared to back it up.

Local web marketing and "connections company" Media Sauce is a true gem. We are lucky to have innovate firms like them, along with Exact Target, Firebelly, RoudPeg, Brandswag and others who frequent SI and are at the vanguard of the social media revolution. But just because you have successful visionaries plugged into the same surge suppressor doesn't mean your statements are correct. A friend of mine says "everyone has a right to be wrong," while this may be true, we also have the right to say… Continue

David Anderson Activating your Marketing Efforts

I had the opportunity to listen to an interesting panel discussion the other day. The conversation was on the business of auto racing. As an avid IndyCar fan, I was an eager listener. Today’s world racing has being hit hard by the same recession we all have been living through. Much of the presentation focused on the benefits that sponsors received by supporting a racing team. All the panelists agreed that in addition to getting your name on a race car, it is important to have an ‘activation’ s… Continue

Patric Welch The time for web site filtering is now

Followers of my blog often have to put up with stories about my kids and how they embrace technology. And while I think it is great that my 5 year old knows how to shoot video of his brother's basketball game on a Flip Video, there's a lot of things concerning my kids and technology that worry me. Like the Internet. Sure, I thought it was cute when my kids figured out how to use a computer and mouse to play games on Playhouse Disney and PBS Kids. I even enjoyed watching them come up with names… Continue

Rick Wilkerson The Trouble With Twitter and the “Twitter Quitter”

Much is being made of a recent Nielsen survey which found that 60% of new Twitter users do not return after 30 days. The report provides evidence that the resulting 40% retention rate will limit growth, to no more than 10% of internet users. While this is a graphically compelling argument, Nielsen–like so many Twitter critics–completely misses the point. Nielsen uses a common false dichotomy by comparing Twitter to Facebook and MyS… Continue
