When Social Media Specials Break a Brand Experience
by Nan Palmero on May 26, 2010 in Uncategorized
Recently, my wife, my dad and I visited an ice cream shop on the Riverwalk. As I checked in on Foursquare, the location based service, it notified me that there was a special at the location. I was pleasantly surprised. According to my BlackBerry, it said “While you’re in the hood, you should hit up [...]

My View on the Burns, Bacsik, Bowen Issue
by Nan Palmero on May 4, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights
During a recent Spurs game, Mike Bacsik (@mikebacsik) wrote despicable tweets that would make most people cringe.

Have you ever been told “that person can do no wrong in your eyes” or “give the guy another chance, he’s a really nice person”?

Jesus and the iPad
by Nan Palmero on April 21, 2010 in Life Insights, Marketing
The past few weekends have been brilliant in proving that audiences vary all over the world. Two different events with which I had a personal experience painted a vivid picture. First, the iPad launch. I’ve read a number of tweets, blogs and even a clip on Modern Family asking why someone needs an iPad. It’s [...]
