Designing for the Macbook’s Retina Displays: Is Apple forcing our hand?

by Mambo Media

Apple is always pushing boundaries when it comes to the next best thing. With the retina display on the new iPad (iPad 3?), it seemed like they were really on to something. The text was crisp, the images were beautiful and the rendering of graphics was seamless. Never before had a mobile device looked so good. Enter the new line of Apple computers. On a mobile device, the retina display makes sense because of the smaller screen. But try looking at your pretty new website on a new Macbook with retina. It’s...

“Mobile First” in Site Design

by Mambo Media

While attending the Online Marketing Summit in San Diego, Mambo learned of a new-ish approach to website design. “Mobile First,” conceived by Luke Wroblewski, suggests UX designers and marketers create for mobile devices before the desktop experience. More often than not web creators begin with the desktop design and then, as an afterthought, re-cast the design for mobile devices. Here are three reasons to reverse this design process: #1: Mobile is the New Website It has taken a few years, but a recent report by IDC & Gartners shows PC sales eroding...

Building Trust in Your Mobile Relationship

by Mambo Media

Would you invite a stranger into your house, to join you for dinner, ride in your car, attend your work meetings?  Probably – hopefully – not.  Certainly  you wouldn’t invite them to sleep next to you, ever-present on your nightstand.  But, with smart phones and mobile devices going everywhere you go, this is the level of intimacy you build with customers through mobile marketing.  This is a relationship marketers need to respectfully cultivate in order to be successful.   Marketing tools and channels are evolving toward accessing and using more data, not...

Instagram 3.0: How to Use Photo Map for B2B

by Mambo Media

If you’re wondering how your brand would even use Instagram, you’re not alone. It’s not always clear how a visual channel can integrate into B2B outreach, especially if your products or services are less visual. When I upgraded my Instagram to v3.0 yesterday and took a photo, I noticed a new option that offered to Add to Photo Map. The Instagram Photo Map allows users to show photos by location in a Google Map. Since we can choose which photos we want to add to the Photo Map, it allows for...

Facebook’s Fast Track to Mobile Ads

by Mambo Media

Gone are the days of Facebook’s freewheeling approach to launching and implementing new features without a concrete strategy for monetization. The post-IPO landscape is dotted with investors demanding ROI, leaving Facebook in a perpetual struggle to find new avenues for revenue sources. Despite the controversy of Facebook ads efficacy, a recent ComScore study helped to alleviate skeptics and anxious investors' concerns. See our weekly roll-up for a collection of articles on the topic. Mobilize or Perish Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook missed the mobile bus, and is now scrambling to catch up. More...

It’s now common knowledge that to survive in business today means being social. A lot of the buzz on this topic feels like an urgent imperative for brand decision-makers (like it or not) when really, socializing business should be embraced as an exciting and viable strategy not just to survive, but to lean up for growth out of this economy.

Social Media Monitoring and Big Brother

by Paul Hamerton-Kelly

Any good brand manager knows that monitoring social media mentions of your product is a great way to maintain your reputation and keep any issues from getting out of hand.  The US federal government knows this too, and has been monitoring email and social media for years now. This is not a new approach to intelligence gathering, as monitoring “chatter” has long been a staple of national security work.  But thanks to a few concerned citizens, we now know what words to avoid using if we don’t want to catch the...

Content Strategy + Optimizing Channels

by Mambo Media

In March I attended the engrossing Q + A with Kristina Halvorson on Content Strategy.  A recurring topic of conversation was the tension between repurposing content across multiple channels versus creating channel-specific user experiences with rich content. Content strategy is an odd beast since a cross-section of Information Architecture (IA), Copywriting, User Experience (UX), and Interactive Design are involved.  Marketing strategies in this framework take a back seat. So as a marketer, it was of interest to learn the challenges of this hybrid role and see that marketing tenets can serve...
