Media Firms Team Up to Test Online-Video Ad Formats - WSJ.com

Media Firms Team Up to Test Online-Video Ad Formats - WSJ.com: "he recession is making for some strange ad fellows. Media companies including Microsoft, Yahoo, CBS's CBS Interactive and Hulu.com are joining forces to attract more money to the fledgling online-video advertising marketplace by testing ad formats.

The project, dubbed 'the Pool,' is the brainchild of Publicis Groupe's Starcom MediaVest, which buys roughly $16 billion in U.S. ad time and space annually for big advertisers like Procter & Gamble.

Starcom MediaVest and sister agency VivaKi say they are trying to create standards in the online-video market, which is popular with consumers but hasn't turned into a serious money maker.

Top 100 Influential Online Marketers List | Small Business Trends

Top 100 Influential Online Marketers List | Small Business Trends:

"Invesp Consulting has released their first annual list of the Top 100 Most Influential Online Marketers for 2008. Among the top 10 are Jackie Huba, Darren Rowse, Brian Clark, Aaron Wall, and Guy Kawasaki.

Oh, and number 1? That would be Chris Hughes, creator of Barack Obama’s social networking site.

Sometimes the best part is reading what others have to say about such lists. For instance, there is the comment of Lyndon Antcliff who sums it up by saying, “I love these lists, if I am not on them they are rubbish and if …on them they represent the fountain from where all truth can be found.” :)

Yours truly - moi — was surprised to find myself included on the list, and in the top 50 too (number 47 to be exact). I was surprised because I don’t think of myself as a marketer. Mainly I just know how to hire good marketing people and pick their brains and learn from them. It’s an honor to be included and I want to thank all those who nominated me.

Read the Top 100 Most Influential Online Marketers list for 2008. There’s also a blog post about how they chose the top 100 marketers."

Despite Debate, Brands Find Value on Twitter - ClickZ

Despite Debate, Brands Find Value on Twitter - ClickZ: "It's been called a tech-geek fad, a business flop-to-be, and a waste of time for most marketers, but the fact is big name brands are on Twitter. While detractors argue brands don't even belong on the quick messaging platform, they are there -- from Ford to Dunkin' Donuts to Whole Foods. They're engaging in experiments with customer service, branding, and corporate culture-building in the decidedly public forum.

Some see Twitter as an extension of the marketing department; others view it as a customer service tool, and some say it's best for corporate communications.

Scott Monty tackles it from the communications side. Before joining Ford Motor Company in July as its global digital and multimedia communications manager -- a position the automaker created for him -- he had a decent following through his personal account on Twitter. 'I wanted to get down and personal with people,' said Monty, who believes Twitter enables that more so than Facebook, MySpace, or blogs. Getting personal made sense for Ford, which, according to Monty, hopes to 'humanize the brand.'"
