eBrand Media Wins New Business as a Result of Its Performance and Stability
SEM management for Hairextensions.com has been placed with the eBrand Media team managing SEM for Wigs.com over the past three years.
Los Angeles, CA–(eBizine)–05/25/2011 – 8:25 AM – As a result of the eBrand Media Group’s impressive management of digital marketing channels for Wigs.com, B2B Web Ventures LLC, the leading provider of beauty and hair products, has moved management of paid search for Hairextensions.com over to eBrand Media. eBrand Media, and its agency division, eBrand Interactive, have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to deliver industry-leading marketing solutions which are either developed in-house or through partners vetted and tested by the eBrand Media Group.
“We’re pleased to have won this business from one of our competitors. While many companies experience frequent account management turnover we haven’t lost an employee since the company was formed in 2005. The same people managing accounts then are managing accounts for us in 2011. That’s remarkable, in my opinion, and a real value add for our clients along with serving as compelling testimony to the type of company we are”, said Tom Polanski, EVP of Sales and Client Development.
Mr. Polanski continued, “Our experience, stability, technologies, and adherence to core values dramatically increases the probability of client success as defined by hitting targeted performance metrics as a result of a repeatable process. We’ve invested years refining marketing formulas that drive high-quality traffic that converts into sales. Not to be discounted is the fact that we save our clients the cost of testing because we know from years of gathering data where to broadcast messages so that they reach targeted audiences at the right time in the shopping process.”

Marketers, people are cynical, and hype is not the antidote.
The chorus of marketing voices has become cacophonous to the point where advertisers and their customers have tuned it out as so much white noise or have become hardened against it. We think the following makes sense and will help to separate you from the countless “dog and pony” shows.
1. Conduct a thorough competitive analysis.
• Marketers are becoming smarter, so competitive advantage is harder. Everything is online. It’s never been so easy to see what your competition is doing from a presentation perspective.
• Assess your current competitive situation
• Who are your competitors?
• What are your core strengths/weaknesses?
• What current and emerging opportunities and threats are imposed by the competitive environment?
• Use this information to critically evaluate your value proposition.
2. Explore and test new media.
• When we polled our staff, asking, “What are the most significant changes in marketing technology or tactics from a year ago?” new and emerging media were high on their radars.
• Social networks. Even if you’re not ready for a presence there, go there; find your customers and observe them. Listen to what they’re saying.
• According to a 2007 Deloitte survey of 2,200 U.S. consumers between the ages of 13 and 75, 85% of Gen Xers said they are influenced by someone’s recommendation.
• Mobile Landing Pages and Mobile ad placement. Optimization for mobile will be different than for PCs. Begin to monitor and test now.

Less Than Half of Marketers “Like” Facebook’s ROI
By Tom Polanski, EVP, eBrand Media and eBrand Interactive
Despite all of the talk about audience engagement, most advertisers, marketers, algorithms, and bots, miss one overarching factor, the human psychology. The mind of a person, colored by moods, remembrances of events past, and fear of potentialities yet to be lived, can’t be predicted or relied upon.
One person’s floor is another person’s ceiling. One end-user’s idea of a compelling ad is another end users idea of garbage. We are seldom a consensus.
I believe search will always be king because it makes us feel empowered. We are taking actions that we have decided to take to find something. And that is a different psychology from the person who goes to Facebook to read their feed, and to update their status.

Facebook to Sell YOUR Posts to Advertisers
By Tom Polanski, EVP, eBrand Media and eBrand Interactive
“Hey Tom,
Look what I found! Didn’t you just say this would happen?
Regards,
April”
Yes, I did years ago. I’ve written a few articles about this. Most people can’t begin to concieve of the different ways that Facebook can parse, package, and sell their seemingly innocuous walls scribbles. This is why I think Facebook is undervalued at fifty billion. The information that people willingly offer up is data stored on Facebook servers to be used now and later. They’re still discovering how to monetize your data. Still to be developed technologies will offer new ways to for Facebook and advertisers to make money effeciently.
After all peopleare teaching advertisers how to sell us with each post, each alteration to the information page, each click, and each “like”. I predict that Facebook will prove someday to be the most valuable and powerful company in the world. It knows far more about you than Google or Apple ever will. There’s value in that.

Online Video Advertising Takes The Lead
According to the results of its inaugural survey of leading U.S.-based online publishers by BrightRoll, video advertising is outpacing other forms of online advertising by at least 25%, say two-thirds of the respondents.

BrightRoll CEO Tod Sacerdoti, says “As consumers continue to… engage with video online, advertisers are being forced to respond in kind and to shift campaign dollars… online video… offers interactivity, targeting and verifiable reporting that print and broadcast do not… ”
Additional key findings from the report include:
