They say that “two is better than one.” But when it
comes to interactive marketing, I’d have to disagree.
I think that ONE is better than two.
We’ve all heard that siloed marketing is
unsustainable and a thing of the past—if you keep your interactive
marketing data separate from your social, website, point of sale,
and other customer data,providing a cohesive brand experience for
the end consumer seems further and further away. After all, your
customers don’t silo their interactionswith your brand—why should
you?
So, how can you unsilo your marketing and start
functioning as ONE cohesive unit?

Marketing automation is term that is gaining momentum whether
you are a B2B or a B2C marketer. But what does it mean and
what impact will have on your email and cross-channel marketing
efforts?
Marketing Automation is using a technology platform that
enables you to build content assets such as landing pages, emails,
Facebook tabs, web events, etc. and deliver them to a prospect

Michael J Becker, with the Mobile Marketing Association,
recently presented The Power of
Mobile in a Burst Session at Connections 2011. He
shared his fascinating perception into the rapidly expanding world
of mobile and its growing impact on digital marketing.
10 Eye-Opening Mobile Statistics from Becker's
Presentation
There are actually more people using mobile devices than
toothbrushes.
More people will access the internet via mobile than wire line
broadband by 2015.
Over 6 billion text messages are exchanged every day in the
US.
In May, 2003 the entire U.S. sent 300 million texts.

Connections
UK came to a close 3 weeks ago, and as my third Connections event,
I’m continually amazed by the content and sophistication of
marketers across the globe. It was a true highlight to bring the
world’s largest interactive marketing conference to London!
To recap the event, Jimmy Wales inspired us with the power of one
idea by introducing community based technology. We also experienced
the power of education through practical application of best
practices through 15 different breakout sessions led by clients and
partners.
In case you missed the event, feel free to join
the conversation...
With
the right marketing automation solution, you can automate both
simple and complex marketing activities with just a few clicks from
one-off to batch messaging, data movements, integrations, and
report delivery.
No matter what your industry, marketing automation can simplify
repetitive marketing tasks and drive more sophisticated uses of
your customer data. For example:
Financial services: Back-end operations like
account statements, low-balance alerts, and lifecycle marketing
campaigns
Technology: Subscription renewal programs,
interactive account reminders, and product updates
Each Thursday at 11am EDT, marketers from around the world

At Apple, we all called him "Steve," even if we didn't really know
him or work with him directly. He was everywhere you looked and ran
Apple like a small, nimble, and innovative start-up. Simplicity and
beauty were paramount. He would labor over small sounds that apps
would produce, over shades of color, icons, and naming. To Steve,
applications were the soul of the Apple experience. And he
was determined to make "hard" look and feel "easy."I was fortunate to have
worked with Steve, and I'm extremely fortunate to now be working
for ExactTarget. In fact, I see a lot of similarities between...Read More »
One voice that summed up a lot of
what I took away from this event was Jay
Baer - The Power of Now. I'm a software engineer, not very
social (have never twittered my face in a book), not a marketer
(although sometimes I think I can be viral), just came to learn
what cool tech toys ET has coming that I can help our marketing
team leverage, and catch a Katy Perry concert - I mean "who doesn't
like cats". But listening to many of the speakers about "social"
over these last few days, I think I've either been brainwashed or
I'm starting to get this a bit. It's not about vanity or posting
what I had...Read More »
