The startling statistics — or others just like them — often make the rounds in marketing circles: In 1970, the average consumer was exposed to 500 advertisements a day. In the early 1990s, that number had grown to 5,000. By some estimates, it now approaches 30,000 messages a day. Just as troubling, where consumers a half-century ago recalled 34 percent of commercials they'd seen, today they barely remember any. That's a serious problem for traditional marketers. The challenge...

While the Super Bowl wasn't as exciting as we all had hoped (congratulations Seattle Seahawks on an excellent win), I loved seeing what brands did differently this year to appeal to the 96.9 million Super Bowl viewers. Some really interesting changes, including: Hashtags ruled as the main CTA with over 60% of the ads using some kind of #hashtag to keep the viewers engaged beyond 30-seconds. Brands aimed more for an emotional connection outside of trying to be funny. For the...

Most marketers have it all wrong when it comes to measuring the success of their digital campaigns. Focusing solely on click-through or open rates doesn't tell marketers much, if anything, about their actual customers. Here's why: a marketer may not think that an opt-out rate of 0.3 percent is alarming. But what if the marketer discovered that 50 percent of those opt-outs were its most valued customers? That's when a seemingly innocuous number becomes a gigantic problem....

Understandably, when people think about marketing, they think about external marketing - marketing to potential customers. But, no business can afford to forget to actively and regularly market to it’s own employees.
