On-Demand Software Adds Flexibility to Direct Digital Marketers (Ecommerce Times)
Posted: 01/21/2010
The robustness of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products positions them to effectively tackle emerging trends in direct digital marketing. The secret to their success? They share the same “it” factor ideals that often boost the best new businesses to the top of the rung: they are cost-effective, easy to implement and inherently scalable. On-demand products must seamlessly integrate between the three primary channels of direct digital marketing–email, mobile and Web–meaning developers must create software that is simultaneously heightened in usability and simple to implement. The bottom line is that the functionality and flexibility of SaaS and universal profile management systems enhance direct digital marketers’ own flexibility and success in their drive to leverage customer information and boost sales.

Silk Drinks Up New Media for YouTube Campaign (Strategy Magazine)
Posted: 01/06/2010
Silk Soy Milk is milking a new interactive-rich media campaign to boost public perception about its products. The natural strength of the campaign centers around a newly branded YouTube channel which houses “deep link annotation,” a first for YouTube worldwide. Users stay tuned to the Silk-branded and skinned channel while they play the game, “Bust it or Believe it”. The campaign also takes advantage of a QR code-enabled print buy with Metro commuter newspaper, which gives users the opportunity to believe or bust the facts presented when they activate the embedded codes on their phones. "The whole goal here was to use new and innovative technology to engage the consumer," Robin Hassan, digital director, Starcom Mediavest Group, told MiC.

Canada’s New Wind Mobile Gets Carried Away by Viral Videos (Strategy Magazine)
Posted: 01/06/2010
Imagine a toll both charging pedestrians to use a sidewalk. Ridiculous, right? Canada’s newest mobile phone company, Wind Mobile, agrees and uses this example and others to illustrate problems with the country’s wireless service. Found on YouTube and Wind Mobile’s website, the viral videos promote Wind Mobile’s purpose to provide improved services to Canada’s mobile phone users. “These [videos] were done to till the soil," says Chris Robbins, chief commercial officer at Wind Mobile. "Before we launch, we're trying to keep the conversation going about what's wrong with the current market, the current competition and what's happening in wireless.” Come Christmas in 2009, Wind Mobile’s products will hit the market in Toronto and Calgary, with the intent to bridge Canada’s pesky wireless service gaps.

U.S. Hispanics Prime Target for Internet and Mobile Advertisers (Marketing Vox)
Posted: 01/06/2010
The Hispanic online demographic is growing more than twice as fast as the overall national online population. Add to the equation that 88% of Hispanics consume content from their mobile phones, and the environment grows even riper for advertisers to target a population just shy of 50 million. Mobile initiatives from Yahoo include mobile search, US and global news in Spanish, and email and social networking connections, among others while those via internet from Orange Advertising Network include site-specific placements, customized branded entertainment, and direct-response campaigns. Mobile advertisers including HBO, Harley-Davidson, Rite Aid, Arby's and Cheetos have sent opt-in offers and ads to Hispanic users through HipCricket's Hispanic Mobile Marketing Network, which projects that Hispanic buying power will exceed $1 trillion in the next year.
