The Connected Company – from Culture to Marketing Success

by Mambo Media

We'd like to thank Tom Bennett for his guest blog post! Tom will be a keynote speaker at the Portland State University Digital Marketing Conference on December 11th and 12th. The Connected Company – from Culture to Marketing Success Customers are connected and they are communicating. A connected consumer has a greater number of choices (what and where to buy, from whom) and has a greater voice in the marketing conversation (what's great, what's not, what sucks, who's evil) than ever before. This trend is continuing and customer power will only increase...

Design for Mobile: Predictions for 2012

by Mambo Media

Will Design for Mobile Soon Be More Important than Design for Desktop Environments? In 2010, Mary Meeker of Morgan-Stanley predicted that mobile web would outpace desktop web in five years[1]. Gartner’s recent prediction takes it a step further, stating that it will happen by 2013[2]. Currently, mobile design is an afterthought: design a fancy desktop experience, eliminate a few elements that interfere with mobile experiences and voila! This approach doesn’t take into account mobile users’ real need: a mainline to topical, useful information so they can put their phone back in...

Will Adobe Flash Survive the Era of the Mobile Internet?

by Mambo Media

Adobe vs. CSS Savvy web designers continually produce beautiful, elegant designs that play to the strengths of their medium. For designers that want pixel-perfect control over their designs, the only go-to for most of that time has been Adobe’s Flash platform. Lately, Adobe has taken a lot of flack over their proprietary design tool. To its credit, Flash has had clear benefits over CSS for many designers, but since the advent of CSS3 and HTML5, standards-compliant designing for the web has come into its own.

Ponies to Bronies: My Little Pony Kicks Up Lessons on Letting Go of Your Brand

by Mambo Media

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a fantastic example of the evolving relationship between brands and consumers.

I realize I may have lost you with the words My Little Pony, but stick with me; it’s truly a good case study. In the world of web 2.0, your customer’s reactions to your products and overall brand are impossible to control. It’s refreshing to see an example of a company that, rather than striking back to regain control or remaining silent, embraced and took advantage of their unexpected audience and that audience’s unexpected reaction.

by Mambo Media

Now that we’ve had some time to let the Netflix price increase backlash settle, we’d like to explain how an organized crisis communication plan would have saved Netflix some of their brand equity.

Google+: Amassing a New Social Network

by Mambo Media

Google+ aims to take on Facebook by creating a platform that revolves around sharing among personalized user groups. Obvious comparisons have been drawn to Facebook, as Google+ has a “Stream” similar to Facebook’s News Feed, the +1 button is similar to the “Like” Button, and encourages the creation of “Circles,” similar to Facebook’s “Group” feature. The “Circles” feature allows users to control the information they share with customizable user groups, i.e. family, work, friends, customers, thought leaders, etc., and strives to replicate our real-life sharing behavior in the digital realm....
