The Message Behind the Man: How Ogilvy Achieved Success

Why are People Never Taken to Task?
Tonight I was trying to get a sense of what signals were missed earlier this year, so I got to reading comments from various well-known buy-side sorts. Here is a sample from March of 2008:
Communication is Important

Use Search Engine Optimization for Online Marketing Strategies
Many website owners use search engine optimization as part of their online marketing strategies. It effectively drives traffic to their site and increases the number of their visitors. However, that is not all about it. What good is the large number of visitors if they leave your site unsatisfied, uninformed or un-entertained?

Release & Resolve Stress and Anxiety
In the process of recognizing a sense of stress or discomfort, we may observe that many times our reactive state sits in judgment of the experience; right or wrong and/or good and bad.
