Book Review – “The Long Tail”

Although I’ve been peppering my conversations with the phrase “the long tail” for nearly two years, only recently did I get the opportunity to actually read the book that spawned the term. On a recent vacation to Sanibel Island (when I tend to do most of my “pleasure” reading), I devoured Chris Anderson’s book in [...]

The Ultimate Positioning Machine: Leveraging the BMW Brand to Sell the Pontiac G8

While watching the Kansas-North Carolina game last night (what a game, by the way), I saw an interesting ad for the Pontiac G8 that positions the car in a most unexpected fashion. Here’s the ad if you haven’t seen it:

At first blush, it seems odd that Pontiac would compare the G8 to any BMW model, [...]

MakeMyLogoBiggerCream.com

I recently came across a very clever website that pokes fun at the fundamental rift between the “creative” and “sales/marketing” groups within an organization. As folks from either group can attest, the process of creating mutually agreeable marketing collateral, be it a one-sheet tradeshow flyer or a 30-second television spot, can often seem more difficult [...]

In what has become an anticipated and beloved annual rite, on February 2nd of each year thousands of people descend on a small Pennsylvania town to see Punxsutawney Phil. According to local lore, the presence or absence of the renowned rodent’s shadow on that day can predict the weather in the ensuing six weeks.
Far less [...]

“Mad Men” on AMC — The Best TV Show You’re Probably Not Watching

Although you’ll hear more buzz around shows like the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff “Private Practice” (ugh) and “Cavemen” (double ugh), “Mad Men” on AMC is the best television show you’re not watching right now.
Set in New York in 1960, “Mad Men” focuses on the fictional Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency and the imperfect group of men and [...]

Q Score? QVC Looks to Own the Letter Q With Rebranding Effort

Last week, shopping network QVC unveiled an ambitious rebranding campaign, the cornerstone of which is a new logo intended to make the letter Q synonymous with the company.
“We’d really like to own the 17th letter of the alphabet,” said Jeff Charney, whose alphabet-soup-like title as QVC’s CMO begs for a shorthand of its own.
In support [...]

Cracking the Code: How to Build a Brand Through Direct Marketing

While I often use this space to examine some of the newer trends affecting marketing and advertising, today I wanted to step back and take a closer look at the relationship between two of the more fundamental disciplines within the marketing function: branding and direct marketing. More specifically, I’d like to take this opportunity to [...]
