"The industrial age, powered by motors, brought widespread prosperity and individual liberty, Marx's myopic critique be damned. Computer Civilization is bringing us more of the same. The scientists have developed the technology. The businessmen have marketed the stuff. The challenge over the next thirty years is to keep government's tentacles off the progress. "

"Simplicity" is the watchword for managing people. Motivation, not legislation, moves people to perform, " says Bill Lohse, founder of Smart Clicks. Here is the rest of Bill's statement. "The purpose, or drive, of any team is to find a market that is growing quickly, and to build that market's dominant brand. The brand is a promise: it represents a consistently delivered solution to a customer's problems.

Simply:
Tell the truth.
Keep your word.
Set goals and make them.
Win.
Forgive (it's good for you, not just for them).
The profit is just the scorecard (but the scorecard

Serve customers.
Have fun."

Excerpts from Jumpin Jupiter
MEDIAPOST MONITOR, August, 1999

Media gurus took the stage to preach the benefits of online advertising and email (as in mass marketing is dead,') interactivity, reporting and tracking wonders of the web. My initial impression was "after a few hours of this, it's a wonder radio, TV, cable and print advertising still exist. "online media in the media mix" - integration of online and traditional (now also known as "flat") media.

Online advertising is expected to grow to $11.5 billion in 2003 . This will serve as a catalyst for change in the traditional ad business. Media integration and the erosion of traditional markets will be more important than the effects of online ad dollar growth - advertisers must stop thinking of online as separate from off-line ad efforts, and focus on better integration of all media. Patrick Keane:

"It's a global medium and whether you're a buyer or a seller, you have to embrace that concept, You can't afford to avoid it - get bigger or stay home. This online/offline synergy, a "broad media footprint," has huge benefits to buyers if executed in a sustained, self- reinforcing manner. " Tim Koogle, CEO Yahoo:

Something HAS to be better than the banner - traditional tools are failing us. As exciting as integrated media campaigns sound, unless agency creative teams understand "every detail of every media," consolidation of accounts, unfortunately, is a long way away and clients have to outsource." Sharon Fordham, Nabisco:

Online has the "worst" creative of all media, adding that agencies have to improve their web efforts or be left in the dust. He likened the current state of things to the onset of TV years ago. "Those agencies that jumped on TV early on are those that survive to this day. Those agencies that said 'print is the way to go' have either been absorbed or don't exist - same goes for the web. "It's not enough to know the brand," he said, "we really have to force integration on a much deeper level." Rich LeFurgy, Chairman of the Internet Advertising Bureau, (http://www.iab.net).

SUPERSTITIALS! Created by Unicast Communications (http://www.unicast.com,) Superstitials are a non-banner rich media format that can be created in any size and authored in any format. These newcomers are said to be three times more effective than traditional banner ads and streaming interstitials in brand recall, according to a study released at the forum by San Francisco-based interactive advertising research firm Millward Brown Interactive (http://www.mbinteractive.com).

Superstitials are non-streaming and allow advertisers to use a larger creative canvas to deliver TV-like advertising. The study states that for users who viewed superstitials, advertising awareness of the brand was more than double that of the banner-ad viewers.
