San Diego Ad Clubs Account Planning Seminar

20120426-181643.jpg

One of my mentors, Greg Joumas moderated the Account Planning seminar hosted by the San Diego Ad Club. Key takeaways:

  • The account goal should always be to create value to the brand, product and audience.
  • Planning has evolved from getting a person to buy something to pursuing value to a persons live and creating brand advocates
  • You have to be a good story teller
  • The planners project path is information, inspiration, creative and evaluation

I wasn’t a big fan of buzz words network, curate, cultivate that came later in the presentation!

Mad Men’s Back!

Mad Men is back again! One of my favorite interactive features of the show is their avatar generator. Each year, they upgrade more characters and backgrounds to this really well built flash tool.

  • Danielle said basically a bunch of medical terms that were over most marketers (at least this one’s head).
  • Dr. Pradeep showed a really cool video which woke up the crowd.

On a whole, I wasn’t impressed at all with this session. The panel was too scripted and didn’t provide a lot of value.

Rework by 37 Signals

The first session that I sat on at the 2010 was a book review, Rework by 37 Signals Jason Fried. Rework is a book about small business. Jason said the goal from business is to build a company that’s sustainable, profitable and that you enjoy. The book is short and to the point. Read More…

LinkedIn follies

LinkedIn Follies

I got a laugh today when I checked out my LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn shows a “who viewed you also viewed” section. I can see how they would check out several other Ad 2 members who have had a similar career path. These included San Diego iPhone development company Treeline Interactive.

Barack Obama though? Are we underestimating ourself or is LinkedIn’s algorithm a little out of wack?
