How B2B Marketers Invest Their Budget

Over the past few years there have been numerous surveys conducted and articles written assessing the shift of marketing budgets from traditional media to new media. Most of the information I have gathered has come through articles that have provided limited data points and I have been looking for some current, robust research that I could assess for myself. Well, I recently came across a survey that fulfilled that desire. I thought you might find the data interesting, and maybe even a little surprising. (more…)

Creating a BUZZ


While Chris is usually busy creating buzz for our clients, this week he’s been crafting a little buzz of his own. For someone who jumps out of planes and zip lines across jungles, who knew that a little scissor encounter would be such a fearful exercise. But it paid off, Chris. Not only do you look 10 years younger, but now you’ll be aerodynamic as you fly through the sky.

Creating Competitive Advantage in Tough Times

At this point in my career I’ve managed to weather at least three significant economic downturns in the marketing and brand communications business. For the most part, the marketing industry responded pretty consistently during past downturns. Corporate marketing teams put their budgets under a microscope and usually made some painful cuts. And agencies made their case as to why companies should continue to invest in marketing, while considering how they too would need to streamline their operations. In this issue of Velocity I will explain why I believe many marketers will respond differently this time around and share some considerations that I hope will be helpful as you plan your marketing strategies over the coming months.

Happy Holidays!


Last Friday we had the ripcord holiday party and it was a blast! Lucky Strike Lanes was nice enough to not kick us out for getting so rowdy. Hey, it’s hard to not get excited about bowling! Chris had the winning game of 136. Phil was in a close second with 134.

Steve giving Phil the evil eye.


Look at that form!

Phil’s New Commuter

Phil arrived in style today. “This rig shortened my commute time by 27%! I had a clear lane the whole way here” boasts Phil.

There isn’t anything quite like the sound American muscle.
