CPG’s Love/Hate Relationship With Social Media
In terms of progress in social media, 2009 was a rough one for Consumer Packaged Goods Brands - otherwise known as CPGs. From Motrin Moms to the Skittles Interweb, it's no wonder some CPG marketers are apt to describe their relationship with their product's social media strategy as "complicated."

Real-Time Search: Brands Must Take Responsibility for Their Digital Presences
If you’ve conducted an Internet search recently, you might have noticed some changes in the results page. Search for “Obama” and you’ll see a new section in the middle of the page called “Latest Results” that list messages web users have shared on sites such as Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook. Now, more than ever before, organizations need to be aware of their digital presence to effectively manage reputations.
Savvy Savings When Cyber Shopping
Since the beginning of September I've been asked on four separate occasions if I'm receiving more opt-in e-mail spam than usual.
Of course, like the rest of my peers, I am. In the past, we would have received all of these discounts via the postal service or clipped them from back of the newspaper. But now savings are staring us right in the face when we check our e-mail, so isn't it worth our time to start taking these companies up on their offers?
Are You a Me-Former or An Informer? Does It Matter?
Two researchers at Rutgers University recently released a new study that found that 80% of those on Twitter are "me-formers." That is to say, they are Twitter users whose posts are updates about themselves, their thoughts, and their activities. The other 20% are classified as "informers" -- those who share information and links. The study found that informers tended to have larger networks and be more interactive.

Supporters of Gay Marriage Failed to Get Out the Vote
Long thought of as a “liberal” state by national political observers, Maine, whose voters on Tuesday voted down gay marriage, proved that cultural conservatism is — at least on this issue — alive and well in the Northeast.
If Deeds Loses, It’ll Be Because He Forgot the New Independents
When Karl Rove set out to get George W. Bush reelected in 2004, he targeted the Expedition-driving, megachurch-attending, Panera-eating, McMansion-living voters in places like Loudoun County, Va. Bush won Loudoun with 56 percent on his way to a comfortable victory statewide.

Twitter: Who Brings the Funny?
Making people laugh is hard enough, but making people laugh in 140 characters or less is extremely difficult. When I first joined Twitter, I decided early on that the comedic approach was not for me, and that I’d leave that to the professionals. So, what have the professionals been tweeting?
Working When You’re Not at Work
Just about a year ago I moved to the Washington D.C. area to work at a boutique PR firm. Obviously, a great network of communications professionals exists in the city and I decided to join Washington Women in Public Relations (WWPR) so I could meet more people. I was hell bent on finding my way in this industry and in this city, and I knew I had to branch out beyond my 9-6 job to do so.
From Anonymity to Translucency: Where We’ve Been to Where We’re Going
When we think about the digital web today, we often think about how we have (re)connected with our real friends on Facebook or learn more about our coworkers' experience through their LinkedIn profiles. For most people who were on the web in the 90s, or are coming online for the first time here in 2009, the sense of realness, of authenticity is more true than it has ever been.

(206) Days of Social Marketing
Approximately 206 days ago, I saw the teaser trailer for (500) Days of Summer. As a long time fan of the film’s stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, I was immediately intrigued, and after reading favorable reviews following the films Sundance premiere, I was a bit disappointed to learn that the initial limit release was still months away, July 17 to be exact. So how did (500) Days of Summer, a breakup dramedy, keep my attention for over six months?
