April 6, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Come gather 'round, marketers, wherever you roam. And admit that the waters around you have grown. And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone. If your job to you is worth savin'.

The Internet Generation Conundrum

April 6, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Born with a mouse in their hands and weaned on mobile phones, IM and Facebook profiles, the Internet generation hates me. My carefully crafted collateral, commercials, even my websites are dismissed by this audience as blatant and futile attempts to deceive them. They think I'm selling something that's not as good as I say it is. They believe I am a liar. Guess what? They're … [Read more...]

The Kids Are All Right – Are You the Problem?

April 6, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

I have had the great pleasure, for the better part of the past seven years, to act like a kid, think like a kid and hang out with kids - or young adults as they like to be called - as a part of my day job.

Overlap Matters

April 2, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Traditional wisdom says that cross-site duplication of online advertising is bad for business. And indeed duplication has traditionally been seen as redundant - a sign of media waste. A report from your third-party ad server would highlight which sites overlapped with which other sites on your buy, and by how much. That way, you could act immediately to pare back the buy and … [Read more...]

The Corporate Website: Five Strategies for Making Your Site More Relevant and Social

April 2, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Can You Connect With The Ad-Averse Segment Of Your Audience?

April 2, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book
