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...

I am extremely fortunate in my career to have met with and established relationships with some very smart, savvy extremely passionate C-Level people.

Nearly 500 million people have visited this attraction since its first permanent home was established on Baker Street in London in 1835. With all the changes in society, and how companies conduct business, it is amazing that one that has been around for nearly...

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...

The Bad: More than 40% of retailers said that their marketing cost per order increased in the past year, while another 46% said their new customer acquisition costs increased. The Ugly: Customers continue to receive messaging and advertising that is not relevant to them...

I will refrain from trotting out the latest and greatest mobile statistics. Surely by now you are intimately aware of the fact that, well pretty much the entire world is on a mobile device for essentially the entire day. And yes, I will stop calling you Shirley. In October of last year, Oracle Marketing Cloud, in partnership with Edison Research conducted an online survey of a 1,000 holiday shoppers (18+ years old) when most people had not completed all of their holiday...
