The day after… Super Bowl 54 is in the books. And we’re partying like it’s 1970 here in Kansas City!

But that’s not what you need to know.
If you’re a brand who invested somewhere around $5.5 million for 30...

Consumer trust in a brand is almost as valuable as their dollars.
If people trust your brand, they will buy it. But not just that. They will buy it again. They’ll remain loyal to you. They may even become brand advocates or super fans.
If consumer trust isn’t maintained, people become disenfranchised from you. They may switch back and forth between brands. They may base their purchase solely on price, convenience, or whether or not they have...

5 million dollars. That’s how much it set a company back to advertise during Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis this year. NBC received that cool 5-million for each 30-second spot that aired during the most watched television event of the year. When we finally see the bank statements, NBC expects that Sunday’s telecast will amount to the single biggest day of earnings by a single company. Ever.
So was all that cash from these companies worth it? Did...

Don Draper had a spectacular way of presenting amazing new creative ideas for brands’ big ad campaigns. The many “Mad Men” who inspired that character knew how to develop messages that truly resonated with people. At the height of the golden age of advertising, brand messaging literally drove consumer behavior.
Today, we can feel inspired by such remarkable creativity. But the internet has turned the advertising world on its head. We’ve done a...

It's no secret that Americans are largely passing on the opportunity to get caught up in Rio Olympic fever. Ad Age recently reported that both ratings and viewer deliveries for 2016 Rio Olympics coverage is down over 32 percent from the first two days. Average household ratings clocked in at 13.9 across 26.5 million viewers.
After examining ratings data for the last three Olympic games - Beijing, London, and Rio - makes it absolutely clear that...

Drinking beer is a boy’s club, or at least it was.
For years beer advertisements have targeted the most consistent and loyal consumers, men, and often have ignored or portrayed women as objects of desire.
Check out how far Bud Light missed the mark with women in its 2014 #UpForWhatever campaign by implying that beer should be used to “remove no from your vocabulary for the night.”
Despite a turbulent history with the female demographic, these...

Infegy Atlas released a few new features recently and my favorite one is called, Audience Interests.
Audience interests allows analysts to discover what audience(s) of a particular subject are also likely to be interested in.
For example, people who talk about the BMW i3 are 4.9X more likely to talk about canoeing/kayaking.
To give you a deep dive of how Audience Interests can be applied to help inspire new campaign ideas, I've set up an...
