Reaching Key Influencers in Your Industry

In today’s world of marketing your brand, it is imperative to know who the key influencers are in your industry.  No longer are the influencers just the key media and analysts covering your market.

What the Oscars Can Teach Us About Marketing

Sunday’s 2010 Academy Awards had all the “normal” hoopla, drama, glamour and glitz that is typically associated with Oscar night in Hollywood.  One of the major storylines this year beyond “who is wearing what,” was how a blockbuster movie can be bested, as The Hurt Locker won several “Best” awards over the heavily favored, largest-grossing film of all time – Avatar

Avatar’s use of innovative 3D cinematography is brilliant and paradigm-shifting.  And the budget for the film was nearly $400 million (production and promotion).  It was directed by one of the industry’s best, with a body of work that won a boatload of Oscars for Titanic.  Conversely, Hurt Locker was made for $15 million by lesser-known director, Kathryn Bigelow.

Tools of the Trade

Every profession and vocation has its share of tools. A carpenter would not be productive without a hammer, saw and tape measure. Barbers would be “out to lunch” without scissors and a buzzer.
