INSIGHT. The Internet Changes Everything — Except Four Things - Rosabeth Moss Kanter. By Rosabeth Moss Kanter | 9:23 AM May 26, 2011 At the e-G8 Forum in Paris this week, the Internet was venerated as a revolutionary force changing everything.

The Internet Changes Everything — Except Four Things - Rosabeth Moss Kanter

French President Sarkozy, who commissioned the forum to provide recommendations to the G8 heads of state, was extravagant in his praise, calling it a new world and the eighth continent. Internet moguls from Facebook, Google, and Groupon were more subdued in their claims, undoubtedly cautious that France, Japan, America, and other sovereign nations are trying to plant their flags and impose their rules on the new world. The fact of change is unmistakable. Every aspect of traditional industries is affected by Internet tools and social networks, as I proposed in my e-G8 talk for the plenary session on digital reinvention.

The theme of empowerment of individuals and small enterprises resonated throughout the forum. Digital disruption: the rebirth of marketing? « Planning in High Heels. Marketing is probably one of the most devalued and derided words of our time.

Moving to a New York advertising agency: a beginner’s guide. LifeStrategy | Comments | Last built on 10 March, 2011 Have you ever bought a car and then found yourself seeing the same car on every street corner?

Moving to a New York advertising agency: a beginner’s guide

Or, have you ever booked a trip somewhere to then find out that everyone has a story about their own trip there? Well, right now, I’m telling you: every single person in Sydney is wearing a New York or Brooklyn t-shirt. It’s incredible. As Mumbrella politely mentioned last week, my family and I are moving to New York – and me into a New York advertising agency. At the start of February 2011, I visited about 15 advertising agencies in New York. Why move to New York? Be clear on your reasons. If You Work In Advertising, But All You Make Is ’Advertising‘ - You’re Doing It Wrong. Tim Geoghegan Creative Director timogeo The ad industry is quickly evolving into a new industry.

If You Work In Advertising, But All You Make Is ’Advertising‘ - You’re Doing It Wrong

It will be one that won’t offer only the limited menu of services that’s attributed to it today. I’m not sure if this new industry should even be called advertising anymore, as the term itself can be an albatross to innovation. But whatever the name is, it’ll be even more exciting and productive than in its current incarnation. When the 4th Amendment Wear brand was invented, I didn’t realize at the time that it would teach me such an important lesson about where we’re headed. As CEO of my own strategic brand consultancy, Timmovations, I know first-hand just how laborious the process of developing a brand can be.

The Six Things Clients Want

Yesterday, as I heard input from a Client on what they value and expect most from outside partners, it struck me that across industries, across the world and across client sizes, everyone is asking pretty much for the same six things.

Digital media: Agences médias et captation de la valeur: y'a comme un problème

Il en ressort que les agences médias ont en moyenne un coût représentant 3,3% du coût média total supporté par les annonceurs. Les agences médias captent donc une part quasi nulle de la valeur média au profit des supports qui en captent eux la quasi totalité. Cela signifie implicitement qu'aux yeux des annonceurs les supports créent la quasi totalité de la valeur dans ce domaine et que les agences sont une commodité. Est ce une réalité? Dans les Media - Ces agences qui osent une ligne éditoriale... Publié le 06 avril 2011 Fortes de leur département prospective, une poignée d’entre elles publient un magazine pour apporter leur regard incisif ou décalé sur une thématique et entrer en contact avec un certain public.
