Don’t Get Lost in Tactics: 4 Ways to Stick to Your Digital Strategy

By Greg Kihlstrom - February 3rd, 2012

Here is an excerpt from an iMedia blog by Carousel30's Greg Kihlström:

"Beware of the should statements. Back in the 90s it went something like this: “Our company should really have a website.” A little bit later it was: “We should really start blogging.” More recently it was: “We should really be on social media.

Going Dark To Protest SOPA, PIPA

By Anna Steely - January 17th, 2012

Are you ready for the blackout? I can’t imagine a day of not looking at Reddit or Wikipedia, but tomorrow, Wednesday, January 18th, it looks like I’ll have to manage without it. Large Internet sites such as Reddit, Wikipedia and Boing Boing will be protesting against the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) bills.

Occupy the Internet?

By Anna Steely - December 29th, 2011

I knew that the Occupy movement was sweeping the US, but the Internet, too? The Occupy movement is doing much more than camping out in big cities. It’s also cultivating advances in technology, too.

The Internet has progressed from a simple tool to the largest means of communication worldwide. However, not everyone has easy access to it, which includes the Occupiers. So, they sought a solution that will not only benefit them, but potentially all Internet users too.

You Can't Manage What You Don't Measure

By Greg Kihlstrom - December 12th, 2011

Surely we've all heard this at one point or another, and those of us in fields (such as advertising and marketing) that require a very regular feedback loop with our clients know the wisdom in this.

I can spend a little time justifying this statement and will do so, but my primary reason for writing this is a little different and will focus on why we measure what we measure and how we need to constantly reevaluate what we are measuring.
