Regis McKenna, whom I personally regard as one of the greatest minds in the history of modern marketing industry (and who is my professional master) during one of his interviews in 2003 observed something that is striklingly up-to-date:
“Marketing is a process and not an event. By event I mean theatrical launches, expensive promotions, a media blitz or road show. Media hype and event-type promotions are part of the time-to-market pace set by technology developers/marketers. They help spread the word, but too often, simply gaining media attention appears to be an end in itself.”
and here something for the attention of all the victims of O’Relly’s ”Web 2.0″ marketing concept
One thing that’s clear is that tactics have replaced strategy. For example, buzzword solutions, promoted as brands themselves and dispensed by branding consultants, proliferate. Terms such as “viral marketing” and “buzz” are some of the latest marketing buzzword brands used as new tactics for gaining the customer’s attention. And while the terms may be new, the concepts are old…

I realize it is rather controversial a claim but someone has to say it: we should reconsider the usage of the term ‘Search Engine Marketing’. In my personal opinion, we should have abandoned the buzzword completely – and for good – long time ago. Seriously. I wonder how many marketers out there, feel that there’s something very wrong with the notion of the term. Well, I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it: the term SEM is an utter nonsense. Here’s the explanation:

After leaving my virtual place virtually unattended for some months, I am back. The timeflow amazes me. Looking back at my entries from almost a year ago, I am experiencing some extraordinary retrospective paramnesia. Those events I perceive like yesterday, yet they seem to be so remote. Most odd a feeling! It probably means only that I’m getting old.
Personal nature of mobile phones vs. Pay-Per-Text marketing model July 4, 2006

It seems like we got a new interesting view regarding mobile marketing and that is the idea of Pay-Per- Text model of advertising. Well, I feel like saying ‘ Didin’t I tell?’
Just at the very beginning of mobile phones era in middle 90’s the marketers were sure of the enormous potential hidden in mobile text communication. Since then, virtualy NO new and revolutionary concept for marketing use of SMS (short messagge system) has been formed and I am not talking about mobile commerce and payment but just advertising & text marketig. Probably the big part of this is due to the old and out-of-date marketing models the advertiser were offered. On the UK market a new Pay-Per-Text model may significantly inpact the way we think about mobile text marketing.
Back from Tokyo & bringin’ a bunch of blurry pics with me. March 23, 2006

Moody me 2nite, really. Only 3 days ago did I and the rest of brave HYPERmedia project team return from a busy business visit in Japan. Yet, so overwhelming then, vivid emotions are now turning into a distant and blurry cluster of randomly memorized pictures.
This wierd impressions erosion is undobtly boosted by the harshness of my current involvement in a hectic job i.e. planning next moves of the project and all the aspects of forthcoming business trip. It’s US this time (NJ to be exact) – in a couple of weeks. So soon…I’ll try to render the remains of my Japan impressions here later but for now those few imperfect pictures must do (taken with my pocketPC camera).

People process information in three distinct ways: viscerally (appearance, color, et cetera), behaviorally (use, functionality, et cetera), and reflectively (emotional, associative). Well, the fundamental concept of behavioral marketing is nothing new.
However, the interactive digital communication – by merging the media and introducing modern metrics technologies – is a new aspect of behavioral marketing.

Here’s an article on business intelligence issues in the context of web communication written by Christian Donner and Tim Michaud from Molecular, a technology consulting company(Isobar).
Eight Strategies for Delivering Business Intelligence on the Web.
Businesses have mastered using the Web as a communication tool, and with good reason. The Internet has proven to speed connectivity between disparate organizations and enable a mobile workforce. Yet leading organizations are realizing that using the Web channel to communicate business intelligence (BI) in near real-time fashion supersedes its previous use as an information dissemination and collaboration tool.
