Smart Phone App Turns To TV For New Users

December 28, 2012 By David Burn

We don’t see many TV spots for smart phone Apps. But here’s one from Zite, “the intelligent magazine App, you make your own.” Sadly, Zite didn’t give us much to love here, but for people currently using Flipboard, this spot might raise an eyebrow. And let’s face it, the App is free. It’s not hard […]

Paid Post: “Crash the Super Bowl” Contest To Award $5 Mil. In Prize Money

October 13, 2012 By David Burn

Editor’s Note: This is a sponsored post, bought and paid for by the Doritos brand. Baseball, for many fans, has faded from view. The NHL has contract issues, and many foresee another cancellation of an entire hockey season. Basketball, meh. This time of year means one thing, football. As we quickly approach midseason, the ad […]

Pandora Stacks ‘Em Deep And Sells ‘Em Cheap By Appealing To Local Advertisers

April 15, 2012 By Dan Goldgeier

I still listen to terrestrial radio, so I hear local radio advertising constantly. Now, according to the New York Times, Pandora is going after the same type of advertisers.

Trouble Talking To The Ladies? Pull Out Your Trunk Monkey

R/West in Portland, Oregon created Trunk Monkey more than eight years ago to help its client move metal. The furry little primate has become known as a force to be reckoned with for battling car-jackers, road rage and ninjas, but he recently showed a taste of his softer side in last fall’s Wingman spot.

Tweet-a-Beer: This Year’s Breakout Hit @SXSWi

March 9, 2012 By David Burn

By the way, the Portland-based makers of this new app owe me […]

Your Dog Wants You to Buy A SuBee

February 17, 2012 By David Burn

It’s New Year’s Day, Do You Know Where Your Headset Is?

January 2, 2012 By David Burn

It was a pleasure and an honor to appear on Episode 182 of The BeanCast Marketing Podcast last night. It was also a bit of an effort, as I do not recover from two consecutive late nights on the town as quickly as I once did. I was on the show with Valeria Maltoni of […]
