There is no shortage of people discussing the topic of ‘if infographics are played out.’ Upon searching Google, there are more than 14K results for the phrase match “infographics jumped the shark” as just one example:
We sports fans all know how it is: Whether we’re celebrating a home run, yelling at a failed shot attempt at the net, or even arguing with the broadcaster, we are constantly talking to the teams and whoever surrounds them as if they can hear us. Well, guess what? Now they can, with the help of social tools.
Can companies boost their bottom lines by doing good during the holidays? Should they? Absolutely. And not just the big ones. Companies should not apologize for trying to create business value from the gift-giving or charitable giving they do.
Here at The Future Buzz we have long since promoted the notion that every company is a media company. We’ve also asserted that in such a world, PR should lead.
The New York Times recently ran a story titled The Dwindling Power of a College Degree. This is news to me as someone not quite 30, but at one point, according to The Times, a college degree apparently provided a virtual lock on a well-paying job.
Nothing frustrates me more than poorly executed or disingenuous marketing and PR efforts. That’s one of the reasons I’m motivated to blog: I’m irrationally committed to seeing brands implement quality, useful marketing programs.
