Last Sunday evening we went live with a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo.com. So far, we've raised zero dollars. Naturally, it's humbling to realize one's appeal is a big fat flop. I was pretty disappointed on Monday and Tuesday, but by yesterday I'd resolved to let it be a lesson to me, and to not give up. Fundraising is never easy, and AdPulp has no history of raising money from readers. So, let me …
We’re Number 32, But We Try Harder
Adrants and Adverblog are still way ahead of us, but I'm pleased to see that Brand Republic ranks AdPulp #32 in a newly released list of the best advertising, marketing, media, PR and digital blogs from around the world. Working with Brandwatch, Brand Republic ranked the blogs by influence using an algorithm that weighted factors including traffic, Mozrank (determined in part by the number of inbound links) …

An Advertising Week Podcast Featuring Yours Truly
I've hosted some podcasts for Talent Zoo and have been a guest panelist on Bob Knorpp's BeanCast, but I'm not sure I've ever had my own advertising-related life and career become a topic of discussion. Until last night. I was a guest on The Advertising Week Social Club Interview, hosted by Doug Zanger. Take a listen if you're interested in hearing me babble a little. I'll give you his synopsis: Dan Goldgeier of …

Spotlight On NW Creative: Best TV Spot of 2010
Spotlight on NW Creative is one of my favorite AdPulp features to write because it's focused on what's real to me now, namely my location in Portland, Oregon. I understand that AdPulp reaches a global audience, but that doesn't negate the need for local coverage. In fact, I'd love to add more local coverage to the site in 2011 by partnering with more writers in under-served markets. Adweek and AdAge, which I enjoy …

The Year In AdPulp: Words, Words And More Words
It's the end of the year. I ought to be toiling away on year-end posts like "AdPulp's 10 Best Commericals of 2010," or "AdPulp's 10 Best Content Marketing Campaigns of 2010," or "AdPulp's 10 Best Social Media Marketing Campaigns of 2010," and so on.

Sent From My iPhone: Year-End Micro Media Meditations
At this time of year I like to look back and also look forward. A year ago, I set some lofty goals for myself and the site. As I look them over now, I see that many of them were not met. Not by a long shot. I could feel bad about this or I could just carry some of the better goals forward into 2011 and keep on keepin' on. One unmet goal is the creation of a book pulled from some of our better material here. …
