Sobering Thought on Social Media
Dan Kennedy, in the August "No BS Marketing Newsletter", discussed research posted on the blog UberCEO.com -- http://tinyurl.com/mlah7p -- to the effect that of the 100 CEO's on Fortune's Top 100: Only two had Twitter accounts Just 13 were on LinkedIn, and of those only three had more than 10...

Of the CEOs of large companies I know or have interacted with, every one of them is so busy that I honestly believe they don't have the time. However, I'd chalk their apparent disdain for social media up to a lack of understanding. I don't think "we" are a bunch of ne'er do wells either, I know plenty of small business owners who have built their... Read More businesses with social media. Personally, I think social media is not the right fit for the Fortune 100, the same way national print isn't the right fit for your corner bar.

Good point, Matthew. Depends on the nature of our business, and whom we're trying to sell to. Social media has been an effective tool for communicating with some of the business owners I work with. Some, but not all.

One point Kennedy makes elsewhere in his rant is that most Fortune 100 CEO's are over 50. The implication, although he doesn't say ... Read Moreit outright, is that this is one reason they're less likely to use social media. 20 years from now, perhaps it will be different.

It's also worth noting that Kennedy himself does not own a cell phone, and does not use email.

Clutter Toleration: The Public DOES Have a Limit, After All « Portland’s Finest Advertising Blog

As advertising has continued to pop up in areas that were formerly ad-free — supermarket conveyor belts and airline tray tables come to mind — I’ve often wondered where the line is. At what point will people just refuse to allow any more clutter?

Still trying to figure that one out. As a career radio guy, I'm more than a little resistant to losing the word "radio" anywhere. But the chain's been in trouble for a long time, and they need to do something to shake things up.

Can I get back to you on this? There may be a blog post coming once I get my thoughts sorted out.

As Sarah Palin would say, "You betcha." I wonder if they are dumping "radio" because it sounds outdated, they are trying to upgrade their image or ??? A Blog is a good idea.

They dropped radio from their name, because selling radio's isn't where the money is! Though using The Shack alone really bites. They'd be better with a new name and rebranding their entire image.

During my presentation/interview at the Northwest Business Virtual Summer Conference, Tom Cochrane asked me what the big difference is between marketing with social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc) and using the traditional sources such as TV, radio, and print.

I once heard Marketing Consultant Paul Weyland remark at a seminar that if you have an unhappy customer, “You need to either make him happy, or kill him and bury him in the backyard.”

I applaud The Adult Shop for attempting to use the story of 2009 in their marketing. And the term “Stimulus Package” is a nice touch.
