|
| |
By Josh Ingram
|
|
|
|
| |
We all know social media is a hot topic, but how do we tie it to some sort of return? While 70 percent of companies are currently using social media in some way, statistics show that executives are more likely to assign employees to social media initiatives than budget dollars.

With everyone jumping on the social media bandwagon, Facebook contests are the hottest thing since Facebook itself and the average consumer gets exposed to plenty of contests and giveaways when they log on to check out their friend updates.

Insights that Incite: Unlocking the Simple, Yet Untapped
|

By Jeff Swystun
|
|
|
|
| |
Arguably the most effective and enduring communications are born from single, simple insights into human behavior -- or more specifically, human consumer behavior. Insights so simple, in fact, that once revealed people react by saying, "That must already exist," or "Why didn't I think of that."

The Coming Cosmopolitan Brands
|
| |
By Patt Cottingham
|
|
|
|
| |
Cosmopolitan brands can and should step up and take a powerful, lead role in helping people navigate all the changes that certainly will be part of the 21st Century. They will build into their brand DNA a code of ethics that is next generation and humanitarian focused. It is a long-sighted view. Given the urgency of global warming, issues of poverty, human rights, and confluence of other factors facing our global human society, planning only in the short term is rapidly becoming yesterday's model.

|
| |
By Mary Weisnewski
|
|
|
|
| |
Virtually no one in the non-profit world will dispute that building trust and credibility is a top priority for their organization. Yet, many consider spending money on brand development in direct opposition with their primary objective: raising more money. In reality, the two go hand-in-hand. The common denominator: trust.
This paper outlines how nonprofits can take a page from successful companies by implementing a brand program that walks the talk of their cause. The end result: the trust that is the foundation for meaningful long-lasting relationships with both individuals and corporate donors.

The economic crisis appears to be abating as indicators suggest the worst may be past.

Rebranding Branding
|
| |
By Lindsay Bazos
|
|
|
|
| |
An old yet dominant definition of branding is emotion-driven storytelling in which the brand works to attract and guide us by projecting a desired lifestyle. An established yet fringe definition of branding is storytelling inspired by the tangible qualities of the objects or systems the brand supports. This later definition and approach to branding reverses out of transcendent, emotion-based brand experiences and gives more responsibility to the customer's intelligence to create the experience and meaning. What would our branded world look like if this approach was widely adopted? Rebranding Branding, a graduate thesis, explores this question.

Flying Under the Radar
|
| |
By FairWinds Partners, LLC
|
|

An average typo engaged in affiliate fraud against of a top Internet retailer's brand generates $100,000 in cost to the brand annually. Knowing that affiliate fraud provides a lucrative opportunity for cybersquatters and that the practice may gain popularity allows brand owners to take proactive steps to protect their brands and reduce payment of illegitimately acquired affiliate fees. To better understand the scope and implications of affiliate fraud, this whitepaper takes a look at one domain owner’s portfolio as a sample set and draws conclusions about the impact of affiliate fraud in the larger domain name space.
