Have You Heard All the Hype About Content Marketing? The New 'Thing'? - Business 2 Community

Have You Heard All the Hype About Content Marketing? The New 'Thing'? - Business 2 Community | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Like, seriously. How many experts can simultaneously shout from roof-tops (virtually of course since rooftop shouting is so passe’ – just like billboards and newspaper ads – now it’s all about blog posts!) about the amazing new marketing method – #CONTENTMARKETING!!!!!


Have You Heard All the Hype About Content Marketing? The New Thing? Not only is the frenzy resulting in volumes of asinine content like press releases announcing klout scores, but it also fundamentally misses the point. Content marketing isn’t new. This great infographic that @JoePulizzi recently included in one of his posts shows that the practice is at least a century old, if not 4 millennium.So if it’s not actually new…Then what’s the hype? Fair question.


And the answer isn’t content, it’s ubiquity of high speed internet access and quality of search engine results....

The marketing of Mod

The marketing of Mod | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

First among the fash/Mod image pushers is Ben Sherman, purveyor of the mighty button-down shirt and a true Mod God. Its new advertising campaign plays on its Mod tradition, featuring pitched battles on the beach between Mods and rockers under the catchline, "As worn at the Battle of Hastings, 1966", and a proud, black skinhead staring at the camera under the catchline, "A man should be judged on the colour of his shirt."

7 Pieces of “Damn Good” Creative Advice From '60s Ad Man George Lois

7 Pieces of “Damn Good” Creative Advice From '60s Ad Man George Lois | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it


George Lois -"the real-life ad man who emerged in the '60s to create a storied body of branding and magazine work. Lois conjured the "I want my MTV" slogan, invented the Lean Cuisine concept and, as the well-worn story goes, believed in his concepts so fervently that he once threatened to jump off a third-floor window ledge when executives rejected his matzo cracker campaign."
