Ok perhaps I turned the hyperbole dial up too far with my title but then again, I did want to make the point perfectly clear that while marketing automation is very important, doing so without any structure behind it is about as effective as following Archie around with a bullhorn yelling "buy stuff!" Who is Archie you ask? Well I'll get to him in a second. The fact is it is extremely vital to deliver content to your customers that is relevant to them and delivered to them...

As Lucy Maher wrote in an AdWeek article published yesterday "With technology putting greater control in the hands of consumers, the travel industry has gone through significant disruption."

Subtitled The right deal at the right time, the piece speaks to the need to deliver the relevant content to your customer or prospect at the right time. Or as Maher puts it "providing...

Being a writer means I am a "word" guy. I cannot tell you how many debates I had in my career with art directors over what's more important: the words or the visual. I had visions of these debates dancing in my head while reading an article published yesterday on AdWeek entitled The Future of Marketing Is Not a Fait Accompli Origins of art vs. science. The opening line to the article, which features a Q&A with Oracle Marketing Cloud General Manager Kevin Akeroyd, sets the...

Nearly 500 million people have visited this attraction since its first permanent home was established on Baker Street in London in 1835.

I've been thinking about sound and how it relates to cross channel marketing. How it connects the online and offline experiences of your customers. We commonly consider things like identity and connecting disparate systems to create a seamless environment that encourages customer loyalty, but sound not usually part of the equation. Grocery stores, bakeries and realtors count on shoppers' sense of smell to close the deal, but sound is the most underutilized of the five senses...
