Image from BigStockPhoto.com. My wife asked me today if something had changed at Facebook. “I used to see a lot more posts from my friends about where they are, and what they are doing, and the basic comings and goings. I like that stuff, because I can easily keep up to speed with them. But I’m not seeing it as much lately.” I’ve noticed it as well.

Everyone always says pets are smarter than people. Don’t they? Well, maybe not, but it can certainly be argued that animals, that lovable Lucy or that mischievous Milo, understand more human language than we give them credit for. What does this have to do with marketing? Well, nothing. But no one ever said that thinking outside the box was easy. So, for a fresh take on digital marketing best practices, let’s look to our furry friends for guidance: Liam ( my orange tabby cat): Liam enjoys napp

Social media has never been inexpensive, just different expensive. But now, the last vestiges of false assumptions about the true cost of social marketing are being wiped away. Facebook’s changes to EdgeRank essentially require that Pages pay a fee to reach more than 15 out of every 100 of their fans. How long until Twitter follows? If you ‘re at all serious about social marketing, and don’t have a line item budget for promoting Facebook posts in 2013, you need to add it.

In the midst of digital marketing clutter and indifferent audiences, a report from eMarketer claims that fighting to create attractive content is not the only thing brands are up against; how to accurately quantify success remains up for debate. A study from Outbrain found that 88.9% of brands rely on social media metrics and referrals to measure content marketing efforts followed by views/downloads at 75.6 percent, leads generated at 53.3 percent, and referrals from search at 51.1 percent.

In the B2B marketing toolkit, white papers can be a powerful option for reaching decision-makers and experts, presenting them with interesting information that improves their perception of your organization's competence and thought leadership. That said, a poorly executed whitepaper will not only be unable to influence your desired audience but will also come with significant costs that other assets won't incur.

I like Michael J. Fox. I’m of the vintage that grew up with Alex P. Keaton, Teen Wolf, and Marty McFly. Further, I lost my grandfather to Parkinson’s a few years ago, and Fox’s efforts to raise funds to combat the disease are remarkable. So it was a thrill to see Fox give a keynote presentation Tuesday, when I joined more than 4,000 other marketers at ExactTarget’s smashing Connections conference in Indianapolis.

I’ll be speaking about optimization this Wednesday at the Online Marketing Summit conference in Santa Clara, CA. Since I’m very comfortable with the actual topic, most of my prep time has been spent looking for pictures for my slides. One discovery was the image above, which shows is how I think most people imagine optimization: a team of dead-serious revenue engineers carefully tweaking dials and watching gauges until they find the perfect balance among alternative marketing investments.

Last week I was fortunate enough to spend the week in Las Vegas for Pubcon 2012.

With over 50 sessions a day along with non-stop networking events, Pubcon can be pretty overwhelming. However with an on-going stream of tweets and great recaps being posted across the web, you can get a lot of information even on the sessions you missed.

He had plenty of dates; he just couldn’t quite connect with anyone. They were nice enough and pretty enough, but there was no chemistry. Like when he raved about his favorite musicians — Jane’s Addiction, Cake and Liz Phair — all of his potential sweethearts stared blankly.

Epiphany was one of the high-fliers of an earlier marketing automation boom: launched in 1997 with an initial public offering in 1999, it traded stock for a variety of customer management systems before its price collapsed. The remains were scooped up in 2005 by SSA Global, which was itself purchased in 2006 by enterprise software vendor Infor. Through all this, the company’s campaign management and CRM systems continued to sell with little change.

The blogger’s proposal was written concisely, the objective clearly stated, and the message illustrated a basic understanding of the client’s website initiatives. However, we turned the guest blogger down because the individual’s experience did not reflect any affiliation or relationship (direct or indirect) with the organization’s industry and market.
