Facebook Partners With Nielsen For ‘Brand Lift’ – Is Face
2009-09-22 14:30:00 Social networking is great. People spend hours together on websites like Facebook and so it is a great platform for advertisers to reach out to their target audience. However, unlike Search Engine Marketing, where there is a strong “call to action” (people are searching for a keyword and a contextually targeted ad only begets a click), social networks are more like a place to hangout and so advertisers have always been skeptical about the return on their investments. As a step towards improving the ability to measure the ROI on social media marketing, Facebook has recently announced a partnership with media research agency, Nielsen in the latter unveiling a new product targeted at the advertisers. Nielsen Brand Lift, as it shall be called, will study parameters that the advertisers will be interested in – like brand visibility, brand recall, etc. among Facebook users who have viewed an ad and among those who haven’t, with the help of polls.

Call them Clients? No, they are Business Partners!
2009-04-02 17:10:00 I recently visited the website of the book "The Art of Client Service" written by veteran advertising Account Manager Robert Solomon. Though I have yet to read the book (I plan to eventually!), the content really resonates with me, as it is a snap shot of the Strategic Design Management role I play daily. One thing that I find a little odd though about the Book?s title was the Book's reference of the "client". This is because I was part of a discussion where we agreed to reclassify "clients" as "business partners". Please let me explain.

How Do You Want To Store?
2008-05-20 14:35:00 Storage buildings come in all different shapes and sizes. They can range from the facilities that we commonly see as we are out and about in your city, to the structure that is in your back yard. They both essentially have the same role in your life. They both house your belongings for safe keeping. Why does one need to store their belongings? There are many reasons why people use some form of space to put their items into. Some people even use their garages as a place to store their items. If you have the room you can save yourself some dollars and keep your belongings at home. Unfortunately, most Americans do not have the luxury of having space inside their homes for items that are not part of their everyday life. That is why they need to find some sort of space to place their belongings. Storage buildings could be multiple spaces within one facility or it could be a stand alone structure. They can be made of all types of material and can be many di...
