20 Sep Lisa Baird, the National Football League's senior VP-marketing since 2005, has resigned, a league spokesman confirmed. Ms. Baird's notable achievements in two years on the job included the league's first foray into consumer-generated advertising, an updating of the league's iconic shield logo and a recent ad campaign in the wake of the Michael Vick dogfighting scandal.

20 Sep I revisited one of my earlier blogs from January 2007 and low and behold found out that I had some good and bad ideas .... Wow. It’s quite a mouthful. Take the big gulp and indulge in all the fascinating buzzwords. For those of you that read blogs, subscribe to RSS feeds, have a Netvibes personalized homepage or just don’t get these theories; the doctor is here to help you digest all of these theories and notions you may stumble upon in 2007. As more people are introduced to the web with faster computers and broadband connections, things will approach that scene from Minority Report where Tom Cruise is dragging, dropping, expanding and editing, let’s call them “bio-clips.” Well, just watch this Youtube clip So after you’re done watching the clip, keep reading to learn more about all of these buzzwords for 2007. Social Media - I was reading Dion’s blog today and I thought that the following thought hit the nail on the head for the upcoming year. “And our tools and techniques finally started to adapt to these models this year and the rise of simplicity and optimization for Web-oriented systems as exemplified by the new applications stacks like Ruby on Rails, the growing adoption of lightweight protocols like RSS, ATOM, JSON, and REST, and network effect-powered business models including building hard-to-recreate sources of data and fully leveraging The Long Tail will become the norm.” He goes on to say that the early adopters are going to come out on top. So what is social media? How do we come up with phrases like social media optimization (SMO) and social media marketing (SMM)? It’s the consultants, thought leaders, visionary marketers who are creating these terms and introducing them to their core audience, then another blog picks it up, introduces their own tips/tactics, then it gets listed in Wikipedia.org and you have services created by agencies, integrated into a client’s overall strategy. I’m going out on a limb here and feeling like we’re seeing the second coming of how SEO and SEM were cultivated by the search marketing community and given bullet points then used in 1,000 different ways, mixing and matching, sometimes being misused. As search marketing includes various tactics like SEO, PPC, Link Development (here it does) and Paid Inclusion; social media may find itself lumped into SMM (social media marketing)SMO (social media optimization), Pay Per Tag (PPT), Bookmark Development (BD) and so on. The essence of these it that companies are still going to create great content whether it’s video, white papers or RSS and there inherently is going to be a viral nature to this content. Think about all of the great viral content out there, it’s user generated (UGC) and companies like BMW are using it as part of their media strategy. Why? Because it’s good content and at the end of the day that’s all people care about. Great Content! Now what we have with SMO and SMM, are additional communication channels for consumers. Now the ...
19 Sep I'll be meeting with The Road Film crew to discuss how to leverage social media, viral and guerilla marketing techniques in the online space to gain a good critical mass to gain visibility for their upcoming redesigned website that features funding opportunities and ways to get involved. The Non-Profit space is interesting as there are so many communities online now from Care2 to MoveOn to Razoo that give NGO's ways to market themselves to a larger audience. What we'll be assessing tonight is who can we seed the message to, where are they online and what's the best medium to deliver the message? Leveraging existing communities has always been a great way to gain more exposure for Non-Profits and with the emergence of widgets in the online space, ambassadors are created daily and spreading the word for you. More to come...
