future media

A presentation on the future opportunities in media, turning threats into insights into opportunities. The presentation future media – no more middle men, is an accumulation of a range of relevant thoughts from this blog, put into system.

Mobile Abilities Map Presentation

Mobile is at the forefront of representing a completely new way of thinking about marketing. But in order to understand this we need to look beyond the SMS and the text voting, and start exploring the real potential of the platform.

Stop buying customers

Every traditional marketing campaign is a customer purchase, that is no revelation: ROI and CPC, CPM, CPA are all standards. But I suggest there is something wrong with that mindset. In fact, with the uncertainty of the future of media, everything might be wrong with that mindset. Display advertising might still be around at the…

The Direct Relationship Business

Jeff Jarvis in this video, from the Nokia Ideas Project, states that since the Internet is a connection machine, anything creating artificial middle men, preventing companies from connecting directly with their participants, will become problematic.

But online marketing seems to finally be outgrowing the display/message based advertising frame- and mindset. Starting…

Commercial Collaborations; Tools Things and Toys

Just wanted to link to the presentation on Nike+ by Michael Tchao, General Manager of Nike Techlab, from Picinic 08′. For anyone certain that the Nike+ case isn’t relevant to smaller, non-global brands. These 23 minutes will hopefully change your mind, as Michael discloses a lot of the thoughts and ideas that in the end…
