What People Trust on the Internet
I was reading earlier today a post written by Seth Godin about the CPM gap and how advertisers are pushing for interruption advertising (through display advertising, mainly), when they should be aiming for building online communities in which advertising is integrated with the needs and wants of those communities, where “attendance is a choice [made] [...]

Digi Cafe: Online Marketing in the Auto Industry
We’re deep within a global economical crisis in which one of the hardest hit industries is the auto industry, probably also because it is highly dependent on financial instruments because of its highly priced products.

Apple Going Mainstream
We probably all remember the times when owning an Apple device was something cool that we were dreaming of with a passion (some still do, and I find myself among this last category since I do not own any Apple device, but I desire a few of them). Well, it seems that being an Apple [...]

Netbridge Splits Once Again
Orlando reminded me today about something I knew of a long time ago, but I couldn’t communicate openly because it was an internal affair at the moment. In time, after I concluded my collaboration with Netbridge Development, I forgot about the matter since it wasn’t relevant for me anymore. However, one of the last projects [...]

NetCamp 2008 – Conclusions
NetCamp 2008 took place today as an online business development and entrepreneurship event organized by Evensys, the company ran by Cristian Manafu. The program and the speakers were highly interesting based on the way they were marketed on the event website, but the presentations themselves during the event were a bit disappointing.
I realized most of [...]

Strategic Marketing & Business Development
As you might have noticed already, I have decided to expand the scope of my blog to include Business Development alongside Strategic Marketing. The idea was that, even though I’m in a Product Management position (although a marketing associated position, usually), I am mainly involved with the business development of the product that I manage, rather [...]

Barack Obama: President of the USA
Last night, Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States of America, proving that a fantastic marketing campaign and a powerful brand can break beyond both people’s inherent resistance to change as well as prejudices. There are a lot of marketing lessons to be learnt from Obama’s campaign and I can only wish that politicians [...]
