The Death of Advertising? Not So Fast …
Our success in social media is due in no small way to practicing the same fundamentals used in traditional ad campaigns … and not simply pushing out ‘posts’. Content (or creative) has always mattered. Greatly. More from our friend Patrick Scullin: www.EmpatheticAdman.com

From Loyalty to Zealotry
“Zealotry Marketing” is about creating programs that have a primary goal of generating referral. If referral is the best indicator of long-term profitability, then it made sense to us to use that as the starting point for creating marketing programs – not merely looking at referral as an indirect end result. This has led us to a revolutionary perspective on the classic marketing principles of targeting, what is creative and how social media can be an effective touch point. And, heresy for old-school marketing types – the idea that the most effective marketing may well come from operations and service delivery. This is the story of Zealotry Marketing. Where loyalty begins with a company exceeding a customer’s expectation. An approach that can be integrated into any company. And, doesn’t require so-called marketing pros. It does require a sensitivity and commitment to exceeding customer expectations. We believe zealotry marketing transforms the traditional loyalty equation. What are you doing to create zealots?
