Psst... Have you heard...
...about this thing called the internet? It's not going away. It's always there. It doesn't sleep.
And it never forgets. (Marty Fahncke has a great example.)
What's your brand reputation? Do you know? Do you google yourself to see what the masses are saying? Do you know that doing just that, googling yourself, is part of marketing? (Here's something to get you started: sign up for Google Alerts. Put your business name in as the criteria and see what ends up in your inbox each day.)
You can spend big bucks on big agencies to advertisie your product. You can spend massive dollars on focus groups, pilot projects and traditional marketing campaigns. You can spend years trying to tell the world how your product is different than your competition's. The thing is, you're no longer in control. This isn't traditional media. It's the "new" internet. It's Web 2.0. It's social. It's collaborative. Consumers aren't just sitting back believing what the masses are telling them. They are the masses. They're connecting with others, networking online, creating and sharing information - on Facebook, on Digg, Twitter, forums and message boards...the list goes on.
It's a shift from advertising to PR. It's consumer-driven. It's fascinating. It's exciting.
We find it thrilling!
Shake it up. Do things differently. See where it takes you!
Let us help you, this is what we love, this is where we shine!
Don't just think out of the box. Step out of the box.
