There is plenty of evidence available to us now as to the Interactive Wonders available to us right now.
On the cost effectiveness of just one exposure to an interactive programme, Professor E.L. Roberto, PhD, Coca-Cola Foundation Professor of International Marketing had this to say after studying all the independent research:
“The Shopper’s Voice participating advertisements generated recall scores that are more than 50% productive than normal advertising. The effect on purchase intention is just as impressive if not much more”.
All these productivity increments are attainable at a reasonably inexpensive budget. One Shoppers’ Voice Client revealed that for its participating brand, its quarter television expenditure was $5.7 million as compared to its Shopper’s Voice budget of $0.5 million . This 1:10 ratio has been experienced in Shopper’s Voice in other countries.” Sources: AGB: Gallup: Martyn Research: Bourke: NOP. City Insights & more.<
In other words, are you someone who will easily find new work if and when the need arises?Recruiters often talk about whether or not a job searcher is placeable. This distinction determines whether or not a recruiter will work with you to help you find a new job.A placeable job candidate is a person who a recruiter can place with one of their clients and as a result, get paid. This job candidate has great skills, has a great background and generally has the traits that a recruiter can get paid to place within a company.Recruiters look for the “most placeable candidate” when they are trying to fill a position. They look for the most desirable candidate who will get a job offer and take the job.A non-placeable candidate is one that recruiters won’t work with because they are not someone that companies will generally pay a recruiter to find.Recruiters get paid to place candidates, therefore we look for placeable candidates.Quite frankly, some job searchers won’t get placed by a recruiter because companies simpl
"A pipe bursts in your house. When the local handyman arrives, he is carrying a large toolbox.
Without even looking at the pipe, he opens the box to reveal only one tool: a hammer. He takes it out and brings it crashing down on the broken pipe - for an hour. With the pipe destroyed, he asks for ?100 and leaves.
This provides an accurate analogy for the state of the marketing communications industry.
The fanfare that greeted the emergence of integrated marketing communications in the early 90s has died away, leaving the industry uncomfortably aware that it still represents a series of one-trick ponies.
Advertising agencies still espouse solutions that centre on advertising.
PR agencies always suggest PR; direct agencies suggest direct marketing and so on.
Like our handyman, each fails to diagnose the problem correctly and opts to solve all their clients' communications issues with one tool.
Ask WPP chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell. He recently bemoaned the fact that most agencies 'redefine every problem in terms of their proposed solution.'
As Sir Martin knows, different communications tools have different strengths.
This has two implications. First, a company must completely diagnose the communications challenge before it assigns the communications tools to be used in its strategy.
For many Clients, tools such as advertising, PR or sponsorship will prove entirely ineffective no matter how well they are applied because they are wrong tool for the job.
Second, by combining two or more communication tools into an integrated campaign, a company is likely to realise significant synergies.
An integrated strategy that spreads its budget across a combination of PR, direct marketing and events marketing is guaranteed to have a greater impact than a campaign that opts to spend the total budget on just one of them.
The ideal model is obvious: a handyman with a variety of tools, who first studies the problem, then selects a combination of tools to solve the problem.
But this model has proved impossible to replicate in marketing communications terms. Despite owning an impressive list of different organisations that represent every major communications tools, WPP, for example, has consistently failed to get its organisations to work together for their clients' common good.
The concept of an integrated campaign in which BPRI does the research, Added Value positions the brand, Landor designs the new corporate identity, Y & R does the media advertising, Burson-Marsteller does the PR and Ogilvy Direct runs the customer relationship management strategy, remains a pipe dream.
Integration on the supply side it seems, will never occur.
Turf wars, egos and a lack of common systems and understanding means agencies will remain segregated. The only potential site of integration resides on the demand side with the client. It is up to clients to diagnose their problems, select and motivate these groups to work in a single strategic agenda.
Unfortunately, clients with these skills, power and confidence to achieve this are thin on the ground. For now, integration will remain the Holy Grail of marketing.
In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense, “We have it in our power to begin the world over again. A situation, similar to the present hath not happened since the days of Noah until now.” In that same year the American Revolution and the building of that New World was underway.
On the threshold of a new millennium, Interactive Communication has given us, the power to build a New World.
But as in Thomas Paine’s time, most have yet to grasp how different the newly forming world will be from the world that is passing. And many that are aware are afraid to embrace it, being so steeped in the status quo. and used to working only with hammers!
In 2003, we stand wide-eyed at the portal of another New World. Some of us, fearful of what is to be, look backward, pining for a simplicity that in reality we probably never experienced.
Others may be more like Dorothy who, after being cyclonically blown away from the greyness of Kansas, suddenly found herself standing in wide-eyed wonderment amid the colourful splendour and magic of Oz.
We may be tentative as Dorothy was; not quite sure of the meaning of all we see in this New World, but we are ready to move on. We want to see what the Wizard of Interaction has in store for us.

Question #1 – How many years of experience do you have as a full-time resume writer?While tons of experience by no means guarantees that a resume writer has the “write stuff,” significant lack of experience (two years or less) generally indicates a lack of breadth in the types of knowledge that you would want to see in someone summarizing your career into a polished document. A less experienced writer who works closely with a more experienced mentor, however, should be just fine.Question #2 – Are you a Certified Resume Writer?There are at least four major organizations that certify resume writers. If a resume writer claims to be certified, you can confirm their status by visiting the websites of those credentialing organizations. The four main organizations are:•Career Directors International (CDI)•Career Masters Institute (CMI)•Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches (PARW/CC)•National Resume Writers’ Association (NRWA)A resume certification means several things

Do Online Surveys Really Pay?Anyone and everyone seem to be making a "paid surveys" website now-a-days. Not that it is difficult to make one, it is just a matter of some basic skills and a few hours of time, and they are raring to go. Most of these websites have single most intent – to make you pay to be a member, so that they would render you the service of pointing you to other URL's, where you can find and fill out surveys that pay. If you fall for them, you will find that they lead you to URL's of companies that have long ceased to exist or to websites that would ask you to pay again to join their websites.These websites charge anywhere between $30-$100 in fee for accessing their database or list of "highly paid" survey sources. But these websites offer you nothing else other than a waste of time and money ... As per the our research conducted in July 2006, which reviewed hundred's of work from home scams and paid survey websites, by interviewing their clients, workers and owners, we concluded that .... we could certify only 5 w

Even if most of your employees want to adopt the principles of 5S, active participation and total involvement in the program is the key to its successful implementation.If you do it right, you will not just benefit from smooth-running business operations, but also having highly-motivated employees eager to continue on with the change process.So how could 5S be effectively implemented? Based on my experience, the following steps are the key treads that would best guarantee the successful 5S implementation:1. Choose a department to start with. As 5S will use resources, you should begin somewhere where the payback time is shortest. Do it right so that you have a good example to set for the next. Duplicate. Replicate.2. Conduct 5S training workshops. In a production plant, the training involves all production personnel, maintenance, managers and staff.3. Treat seiri (sort/organization) as a ‘waste reduction’ activity. The goal is to release time for housekeeping and to make housekeeping as easy as possi

Delegation is the buzzword when talking about workforce management solutions. Delegation is the process by which authority is granted to a subordinate by his superior. But for delegation of authority, organizations would remain forever small. Delegation is the only solution to cope with the increasing workload of managers as the organization grows.Because of the constraints of time and availability, a manager cannot perform all the tasks himself. Therefore, he delegates a certain amount of tasks to subordinates. Authority, on the other hand, is the right to command. It is the discretion power vested with a manager to use organizational resources. Managers acquire authority by virtue of rank or title associated with this position. Authority is granted to individuals in a formal way in the organization. It flows from the top to down in the organization structure.Responsibility, on the other hand, is obligation to perform tasks and account for their satisfactory completion. It is implied that an individual is expected to fulfill certain j

Many marketers seem unconcerned about the advent of Interactive Communication because they are not yet persuaded about the powerful benefits to be gained by using the technique despite the evidence.
Probably less concerned are research houses, however, the richness of personal information provided by consumers through the process of Interaction will significantly depreciate the value of standard research.
Consumers have generally tolerated uninvited marketing messages as a somewhat necessary evil. It was a price that had to be paid for access to most broadcast and print media.
Interactive Communication has laid down the foundation for changing this. Reminiscent of a Gary Larson cartoon, in which a deer peers at a hunter through the cross hairs of his own rifle, companies are becoming the target of consumers.
In this scenario and with the aid of interaction, consumers will manage their own marketing relationships, not vendors or marketers.
And in such a scenario, when a consumer has no need of a company, company access to that consumer will be shut off. Interactive Communication participants find it refreshing that they can get information in ways that track the personal grammar of their views, values, needs and lifestyle.
However, before advertisers can start reaping the benefits if interactive advertising, they must rise to the creative challenge posed by interactive services.
Although the cultural shift being demanded of the notoriously conservative advertising industry is huge and represents one of the major obstacles that the new media services will have to overcome, the new services do have one argument in their favour: they will eliminate waste.
They will reach targeted consumers and the commercial message can be immediately translated into a sales opportunity or even a sale.
What of the advertising agencies?
In terms of numbers, the laid back attitude of many agencies seems at first glance to be justifiable. Despite the huge proliferation of new interactive services and products in the past few years, the economics of the advertising business have barely been affected.
The vast majority of advertising revenue is spent on traditional media and, the growth of direct mail notwithstanding; the advertising agencies still control the transactions which take place between the advertiser and the media owner.
Yet as traditional spot and display advertising becomes less dominant, and as expenditure on commercials gives way to targeted selling using interactive technology.
Giving the consumer the opportunity to respond directly to the advertiser), the role of agencies as an interface between the advertiser and the customer will decline and a new productive age will have dawned.
