Consumer trust in a brand is almost as valuable as their dollars.
If people trust your brand, they will buy it. 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 a coupon. What’s worse, if you lose their...

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...

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.
