Category Connoisseurs vs. Brand Advocates

by Mambo Media

In Youngme Moon’s captivating book Different: Escaping the Competitive Herd, she posits that product categories have augmented benefits beyond the average consumer’s ability to tell the difference between any two brands. For example, take toothpaste.

Pinterest: The Love Child of Flickr and Delicious! – 3 Tips for Businesses

by Mambo Media

If you’re not familiar with Pinterest, I hesitate to send you there because it’s visually addictive eye candy for the soul. Pinterest is a “virtual pinboard” that allows users to organize and share images, and Pinterest’s mission is to connect people all over the world based on their shared tastes and interests. The reason I describe Pinterest as “for the soul” is because being able to easily share visual experiences we find online is a form of self-expression, and that means its users are keenly engaged (and often obsessed). TIP 1: Do...

by Mambo Media

We'd like to thank Tom Bennett for his guest blog post! Tom will be a keynote speaker at the Portland State University Digital Marketing Conference on December 11th and 12th.

This trend is continuing and customer power will only increase...

by Mambo Media

Will Design for Mobile Soon Be More Important than Design for Desktop Environments? In 2010, Mary Meeker of Morgan-Stanley predicted that mobile web would outpace desktop web in five years[1]. Gartner’s recent prediction takes it a step further, stating that it will happen by 2013[2]. Currently, mobile design is an afterthought: design a fancy desktop experience, eliminate a few elements that interfere with mobile experiences and voila! This approach doesn’t take into account mobile users’ real need: a mainline to topical, useful information so they can put their phone back in...
