Digital Marketers Are Wrong to Focus Only on ROI

If you work in digital, you’re probably getting a bit tired of the ROI question  by now. We are all tasked with justifying our pitches and projects with proving  where the ROI lies directly.

What Happens in Brooklyn Moves to Vegas; the current exploits of Tony Hsieh

Entrepreneurs like Tony Hsieh are disruptive and dangerous to people like the Koch brothers; dinosaurs left over from the Industrial Age. Men who strip a company or countryside down to nothing while extracting their profits and leaving the ruined remains for others to deal with.

They certainly don’t understand how he can profit by putting people first and a return on community above a return on investment.A new era has been emerging for the past 15 years or so and there are a lot of people like Mr. Hsieh; visionaries and thought leaders shaping our future in ways that the old guard must consider alien.

eBrand Media has had the pleasure of working with Zappos. I know first hand that they treat their vendors as well as they treat their clients. We are pleased to have worked with them for a couple of years.
