People have always said sex sells. I think it is safe to assume sex drives innovation as well. That industry is what pushed streaming video among a handful of other things. In fact, there is an article on Business Insider “PORN: The Hidden Engine That Drives Innovation In Tech”. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-porn-drives-innovation-in-tech-2013-7

Curious to get your thoughts on how Pharmaceutical companies could use mobile. Mobile is a very intimate thing and I struggle to find people that want to have an intimately close relationship with the medications they are taking. On top of that, the industry is SO regulated it is insane. We are very very limited in what we can say…go to any…[Read more]

I only got on snap chat this semester just to see what it is like and to become a little better versed. Absolutely none of my friends are on the platform and we are all mostly 37-38 years old. I am not sure when/if they can claim social dominance over other platforms. I feel they need to expand to older demos which is tough because then it is no…[Read more]

I could not agree more. However, I do not see Facebook opening up and allowing 3rd party tags any time soon. It is not in their best interest. It could allow you to use their audience data to retarget people outside of their ecosystem. You 3rd party tool tracks an ad view to a highly targeted audience and then you retarget that person outside…[Read more]

The craziest thing to me here is that teens (which of course do not all vote yet) are actually getting almost all of their news from Snapchat and Twitter. With personalization clearly limiting what social users tend to see, and then fake news all over the place, the fact that young and future voters are getting news from just a few social media sites is pretty scary thought. And this trend is sure to continue in the future.

Thanks for this Joe…

I think VR has enormous potential for healthcare maybe even more so then eCommerce and other industries. Through VR companies will make available to the masses what has only been visible to people with a lab coat and a microscope. I also think to your point above, it will really help with patient empathy. I saw a nice use case at Digital…[Read more]

I will speak on these as a consumer. I will be very upset as someone who prefers to read text over watching a video if everything goes to that medium. I would spend less time on my phone, computer, and tablet if the only way I was forced to consume content is through videos and revert to old school print. Plus half the time when I tell siri what I want her to do she doesn’t understand me so I question how they can fix those problems.

I really like this campaign and I am one of the few that always picks up pennies. I usually just toss them in my pocket then they end up in one of my kids’ piggie banks when I get home. Now I wonder if I have to crack the piggie banks open to see if I have one of the lucky pennies! This makes me question the promotion of this campaign. This is…[Read more]

If people are buying a product because they believe it will make them look like somebody such as Kim Kardashian, then have we not moved out of influencer marketing into a simple celebrity endorsement. As a young boy, I always had to by Air Jordans so I could be like Mike.

I think it depends on what the influencer is promoting. If its for a weight loss product or something otherwise regulated then yes but if its clothing or pinball machines I am not sure how much is necessary beyond a #. At the time how do you regulate an industry where some people are so desperate to believe in something they will buy a product and believe that if they use it they will look like Kim Kardashian?

You bring up a good point here. In a time where to some people social media stars are celebrities where does the influencer line end and celebrity endorsement line begin?

I just assume that everyone is being paid. That should be the default position. I love some of my favorite YouTubers and podcasters and feel like I have “a relationship” with them. But I don’t imagine buying something on their recommendation – any more than I imagine buying Philip Morris cigarettes or RC Cola just because Lucille Ball recommended them. In every generation of media, I believe we must educate people to the motives behind the persuasion that they see. Then if I want to buy Max Factor lipstick to have my lips look like Lucy’s, at least it is an informed decision.

Great question, Joe. I think that influence marketers want to convince you that they are different from celebrity endorsers – but in the end it is just a new play on an old ploy. Influencers seek to build relationships with followers based on some perceived expertise or competence. The relationships that they build up through YouTube, blogging or podcasting are converted eventually into cash as a result of “selling” a brand. Most celebrities used to deny that they wanted relationships with their fans – think of Greta Garbo and her “I want to be alone” attitude.. But whether it is Lucy getting paid for her face on a Max Factor ad or the social media influencer down the hall trading on their credibility with their followers – it seems like is all about converting fame into cash.

I agree, I to just assume that anything that is front and center in a post by a celebrity or influencer is a paid endorsement. However, I do look at things in the background such as an interior design photo with an influencer holding a book they read but behind them is a bookshelf. I’ll look to see what books are there rather than the one they are holding front and center. It has me wondering, how does the FTC crack down on people getting paid on the back end vs. the front end. Is this something that brands can/have done?
