marketing at the point of sale

“You go to the drug store now, you buy one or two things, you get a receipt that’s like a Miss America sash,” Jimmy Kimmel joked a couple years ago. E-receipts may be on the rise, but many retailers are still cranking out massive paper receipts at the till. Adweek performed an experiment with eight national retailers in the US…. Read More

product proliferation

In 1997, Steve Jobs returned to Apple and increasingly grew frustrated by all of the product complexity he saw at review meetings. He famously shouted “Stop!

It’s a tricky time to be a food marketer — navigating the Wild West of consumer expectations and unregulated food claims like “natural.” According to the most recent Consumer Reports Survey, 73 percent of consumers seek out foods labeled as “natural”. But, “natural” is not a legal or regulated term. The FDA signaled a few years ago that it would… Read More

the art of project management

In February 2001, a group of renegade software engineers gathered at a ski resort in Snowbird, Utah and famously wrote the Agile Manifesto. They called into question the whole traditional Waterfall approach to product development and project management. The Atlantic recently profiled that gathering in an article called “The Winter Getaway That Turned the Software World Upside Down: How a… Read More
