For Advertisers, Will QR Codes Blend the Print-Mobile Experience?
June 9, 2010 From John Parsons
Ignoring Harold Ramis’ (playing Dr. Egon Spengler) dire warning: "Don't cross the streams," advertisers are daily crossing the streams of media experience, combining Internet and mobile interaction with more traditional fare―most notably television.

Making Content Pay
May 2010 From Publishing Executive
Few things have received more buzz in publishing recently than the notion that publishers need to start charging for content online. While this conversation has proven to be somewhat cyclical in the years since the advent of the Web, ebbing and flowing with the relative success of bringing in ad revenue, there is growing evidence that the twin factors of changing consumer perceptions (iTunes and, more recently, Rupert Murdoch have put paying for digital content firmly on the public's radar screen) and sheer economic necessity may finally have forced publishers to abandon the idea that their product can be supported solely through advertising, no matter how targeted those campaigns may be.

A Fierce Look at Publishing's New Reality
March 2010 From Publishing Executive
Many in the industry are hoping that 2010 will be the year of the comeback—or perhaps more conservatively, the bounceback—for advertising-supported online media. While we are seeing advertising clients who went dark in 2009 return to the market, it is important to look at the current reality with sober eyes. Every recession has eventually led to recovery and growth, but each also has left behind its indelible mark in those things that have changed.
