Shiny New Tech: Content Not Included. Proceed with Caution
I've written about shiny object syndrome (SOS) on this blog a number of times - just do a search and you'll see. Many others have also shone a light on the folly of SOS over the last few years. But it's not changing behavior. B2B Marketers have yet to take it to heart. Fournaise Group reported ...
Love it! About a year ago, I did a presentation for my daughters 4 grade class, in it I said, "Marketing is great because you get to be a poet, an artist and a scientist." (I've put it up on slideshare here - http://www.slideshare.net/KenRutsky/marketing-for-4th-graders"
