Getting “social” is not — or should no longer be — new news for any self-respecting marketing team. These days, social media is pretty much an ongoing topic at any company café or water cooler, even if the absolute marketing dollars remain paltry for the vast majority of brands (social media represented just 4% of [...]

The five greatest productivity tools: the wow desktop search Greplin (#4 of 5)
Where’s that file? As so much of what we do dematerializes into some form of digital matter, the way we organize our digital assets will be as important as the old filing systems we used to hang physical papers in our cabinets. That said, thanks to random access, the mechanisms are a bit different. Tagging, [...]
So many choices! How to choose the right social network?
Which social network to choose?

The Beta Myndset – Launch & Iterate
One of the most revolutionary marketing tools to come to the surface recently is the beta launch. Essentially, a product is “pre-launched” as a beta version and, as a consequence, errors are to be anticipated and feedback is openly accepted. It is a great tactic, borne of the software industry (mentality), which carries with it no deadline. A product can remain in beta phase eternally.
