The Future of Advertising: Three Agencies' Visions | Co.Design
In the December/January issue, Fast Company magazine takes an in-depth look at the tumultuous state of advertising on the eve of the biggest creative revolution the industry has witnessed in decades. As a companion piece, we asked three agencies -- BBDO, Factory Design Labs, and Victors & Spoils -- to visualize the business today and what they foresee. Their contributions indicate an optimistic, if wryly cautious, view of the future. Have a look: Factory Design Labs "In both the current and future state consumers will control how and when they consume information," says Scott Mellin, CEO of Factory Design Labs. BBDO "Everything will continuously change, but people will always stay the same," says David Lubars, BBDO's North American chairman and chief creative officer.

The 7 Biggest Challenges in Merging Design and Business | Co.Design
Recently, I gave a speech at the RGD Design Thinkers event here in Toronto. For a first-ever keynote, I think it went ok, though I probably relied on reading out my notes too much. But given that I used this forum to tell designers they can be ?dictatorial, inflexible, snobby?, people were pretty friendly. A couple of weeks ago, I was discussing coming to this event with a designer friend of mine. Now bear in mind that this was a designer talking! That he didn't was more than just an affront to my ego. And yet, we know in reality that they were never actually handed over. In fact, if we take a close look at our world and environment and businesses and systems and services, we must accept that we're not generally surrounded by gloriousness, at least any more than we were before this supposed grand renaissance. ? Design has been democratized. In reality, many of the tools that were once strictly in the domain of designers have been distributed across borders and boundaries.

Tapping Customers for Product Ideas
Even at a young age, Kevin Sproles understood the importance of listening to customers. Sproles was 16 when he founded Volusion, an Austin-based maker of e-commerce software that now has 180 employees and $22.5 million in annual revenue. In the early years, Sproles would spend hours a day on the phone with small-business owners who had signed up for his service, asking them how Volusion might improve, say, its customer checkout pages. Now that Volusion has more than 20,000 clients who pay $29 to $179 a month for its software, collecting customer feedback has become more difficult. "I can't call up everyone to find out what they want," says Sproles, who is now 27. Volusion started by sending out monthly surveys to customers. To encourage even more suggestions, Volusion built its own online forum that lets customers submit ideas and vote for suggestions they like. So far, customers have submitted more than 1,000 ideas and placed more than 11,000 votes on the forum.

The Dawn of Like-vertising
Two truths of the online media world: brands want to develop social connections with consumers and there are tons of cheap ad inventory thanks largely to the explosion of social networking. The combination of the two could result in more advertising designed to drive social connections rather than transactions or brand awareness. A new online ad network, RadiumOne, is debuting what it's calling "like retargeting." The system works like this: Companies will pixel their pages to identify visitors. RadiumOne then uses that information to find those visitors around the Web and show them ads designed to drive them to "like" the brand on Facebook. "Instead of retargeting people in the [sales] funnel, we're adding people to the funnel," said Gurbaksh Chahal, CEO of RadiumOne and founder of behavioral ad network Blue Lithium that was bought by Yahoo for $300 million September 2007. In doing so, a target audience of 100,000 can grow by six or seven times, he said.
