You Oughta Be in [moving] Pictures

Posted by Think Tank on Tuesday, November 5, 2013, In : onlne marketing 
Everyone is on the internet these days.  Activity on the 'www' has skyrocketed.  Smartphones and tablets connect the customer on the go with their friends, families and businesses.  For all intents and purposes, the world operates on a virtual platform.

A Sign of [Bad] Things to Come

Posted by Think Tank on Friday, August 9, 2013, In : brand building 
Every business owner on the planet knows the value of a good sign.  Properly placed and visible to passersby, a good sign can make the difference between survival and success.  Often this is one of the first investments a business owner makes when starting out on a new venture.  Nothing new to report there.

Posted by ARTofHYPE on Saturday, July 13, 2013, In : onlne marketing 
Within the last five or ten years, eco-friendly marketing has become a staple in mainstream media.  Companies the world over rallied to the cause, added recycling messages to their containers and used the word 'green' until the new politically-correct meaning practically supplanted its reference to the chromatic hue.

Short & Sweet: Videos That Work!

Posted by Think Tank on Thursday, July 11, 2013, In : onlne marketing 
Movement catches the eye.  Everyone knows this.  It's the driving force behind sleight of hand.  It's the reason movies are so much more popular [and lucrative] than books.  And it works in advertising, too.

Animated banners, video ads and moving text all serve to increase awareness of your message.  Until recently, however, this was a realm reserved for geeks and big-budget advertisers.  Today, virtually every business can [and should] have some sort of animation in their online messages.  Th...
