Have you ever been the only one dining in a restaurant? If you have, and if you are anything like me, I’m sure it took a while to shake off the depression.

Marketers identify “personal connections and referrals,” followed by the company Website, as their top two lead sources. Clearly, the website remains a crucial aspect of your B2B online marketing strategy. And it...

Earlier this morning, marketing author and advisor (to Eloqua, among others) David Meerman Scott published a new e-book enticingly titled, Newsjacking: How to Inject Your Ideas into a Breaking News Story and Generate Tons of Media Coverage (Wiley). The book not only lives up to its promise (that is, it creates a compelling case for a new PR concept called “newsjacking”), but it may have also redefined what a book is in the process. First the stated topic: Newsjacking. The...
