Brit Proves Google's Eric Schmidt Totally Wrong: Super Cookies Can Track Users Even When In Incognito Mode | Marketing_me | Scoop.it
So-called super cookies abuse a security feature in most of the world's top browsers and can circumvent protections offered by Google Chrome's incognito mode or its equivalents, a British researcher proves. Yet such cookies appear undeletable on Apple's Safari. The claims come less than a month after Google chairman Eric Schmidt suggested incognito mode could prevent tracking from the likes of the NSA.

This is the story of how a guy who was bored by his work built a profitable marketing company


Andrew: Hey there freedom fighters, my name is Andrew Warner and I am the pushy, bully interviewer here at Mixergy.com, home of the ambitious upstart. I’ll explain that in a moment, but first I’ve got to tell you what I have packed for you here today. I’ve got for you the story of a guy who was bored at work and decided that he was going to build a profitable marketing company, and he did it. I invited him here to talk about how he did it, and my goal for this interview is to have you learn how profitable marketing companies are built, and frankly, any kind of consulting company. I think if you’re looking to do that, you’re going to get a lot out of this interview.

È giovane il consumatore più influenzato dai social media [RICERCA] | Marketing_me | Scoop.it

L’argomento “influenza” sui social media è sicuramente il più interessante da studiare e rappresenta uno degli obiettivi che maggiormente un brand o azienda si prefigge di raggiungere attraverso una strategia di social media marketing. È infatti il concetto di influenza, ergo influenzare o convincere, incentivare e allettare l’utente, che muove il meccanismo promozionale attraverso i social che, ricordiamolo, non è mai diretto ed esplicito come su altri canali.

ADV Advertiser | Saatchi & Saatchi chiude il 2014 a +12% e presenta Xploring, il “nuovo” lusso

ADV Advertiser |   Saatchi & Saatchi chiude il 2014 a +12% e presenta Xploring, il “nuovo” lusso | Marketing_me | Scoop.it
Chiuderemo l'anno a +12%, andando oltre le nostre stesse attese più rosee, in un mercato che continua a calare due cifre. Queste le parole di Giuseppe Caiazza, Ceo di Saatchi & Saatchi Italia, di Saatchi & Saatchi + Duke Francia, e Head of Automotive Business di Saatchi & Saatchi Emea (nella foto) questa mattina a Milano, a margine della presentazione della ricerca Xploring sulla comunicazione dei brand del lusso. Caiazza ha anche sottolineato che i risultati economici, frutto anche della vittoria in molte gare e della conquista di clienti importanti come Ferrarelle, Peroni, Fincantieri, Mutti, Dalani, Pfizer, Folletto, Pedrollo, sono affiancati da altrettanto eccellenti performance sul versante della creatività. quali i 17 Leoni a Cannes (di cui nove d'oro) e il secondo posto al mondo nel ranking creativo del network S&S, alle spalle dell'Argentina. Il risultato di quest'anno ci porta a una crescita complessiva negli ultimi tre anni del 23%, ha aggiunto Caiazza, annunciando una stima di risultati per il 2015 in linea con quelli di quest'anno e un aumento della quota della revenue dal digitale dall'attuale 20-25% al 30-35, grazie anche all'acquisione di Ambito5, in linea cone il circa 40% registrato dal gruppo Publicis a livello mondiale.

A proposito di Gruppo, il Ceo ha precisato che il prossimo trasloco dell'agenzia negli spazi della casa comune di via Bernina renderà ancora più efficiente l'integrazione già in atto di alcune funzioni quali il Back office e il Finance.
Particolarmente orgoglioso, infine, si è detto Caiazza del trasferimento alla sede di New York dei pluripremiati creativi Luca Pannese e Luca Lorenzini, ricordando che sono oltre una decina i creativi allevati da S&S Italia attualmente al lavoro in altre sedi estere, da Londra a Dubai, da Parigi a Los Angeles. I due Luca saranno sostituiti da altrettanto valide risorse interne, già individuate dai direttori creativi esecutivi Agostino Toscana e Alessandro Orlandi.
Passando alla ricerca Xploring, realizzata in collaborazione con Jane Cantellow, Global Planning Director Saatchi&Saatchi, “La nostra provocazione, ha esordito Caiazza, ci conduce a dire che, oggi, è forse il mondo del lusso a poter trarre qualche elemento di ispirazione da largo consumo. Sono loro che da qualche anno hanno aderito con entusiasmo all’inarrestabile passaggio dalla cosiddetta Attention Economy alla Participation Economy, creando un rapporto quotidiano e continuativo con i propri clienti, facilitato dalle tecnologie in continua evoluzione. Non è quindi un caso che oggi alla testa dei più importanti poli del lusso vengano chiamati manager con un’esperienza decennale nel settore degli FMCG”.
Condotto in nove Paesi (Thailandia, Cina, Giappone, India, Emirati Arabi, Messico, Stati Uniti, Regno Unito, Italia), lo studio di Saatchi & Saatchi analizza i cambiamenti in atto del settore e individua, nelle modalità di comunicazione dei marchi Premium, la nuova dimensione strategica, coerente a un concetto di lusso legato sempre più alla sfera personale.
I 5 miti del concetto di lusso mutano infatti in 5 nuove interpretazioni che portano alla democratizzazione del consumo d’élite.

1. Da ideale esclusivo a umano inclusivo
Da prodotto inaccessibile e distaccato oggi il lusso deve diventare fonte di valori umani, forti e duraturi. “Le persone sono in cerca di significati non di eccessi sfrenati e gratuiti”. Il fascino di uno status che non si compra ma si guadagna.

2. Da tradizione a innovazione
Da attaccamento alla tradizione, modello di una “cultura egocentrica come unico intenditore”; il nuovo lusso deve comunicare amore per l’innovazione, apertura verso un mondo in costante evoluzione.

3. Da one-off a one-to-one
La distribuzione limitata e produzione su misura legato al prestigio del brand, il controllo, devono spostarsi verso esperienze personalizzate e più coinvolgenti. “L’individuo personalizza il prodotto diventando parte attiva, e quel valore aggiunto che parla di te rende il prodotto inimitabile e di lusso”.

4. Da parla di sé a crea relazioni
Il passaggio del ruolo del brand quale detentore del capolavoro come “oggetto” a creatore di una relazione trasparente ed intima, e in grado di provvedere piattaforme di collaborazione per i consumatori.

5. Da serio a giocoso
E’ considerato lusso chi offre benessere, esperienze divertenti e rilassanti piuttosto che prodotti di prestigio, sofisticati e in qualche misura “solenni”. “E’ uno stato mentale, una ricerca di sensazioni, di esperienze gratificanti, e Il tempo diventa il vero lusso”.

In sintesi, quindi i brand del lusso - osservando i marchi Premium - dovrebbero prestare attenzione a celebrare i valori umani; a guardare meno alle tradizioni del passato, adeguandosi alle future esigenze abbracciando l’inventiva propria del settore tecnologico; e a fare proprio il concetto di “personalizzazione” e rendere il desiderio più personale, guardando all’unicità della fattura artigianale.
Last but not least, non parlare soltanto di se stessi e dare vita a collaborazioni con marchi lifestyle, nonché, magari, astenersi dal prendersi sempre troppo sul serio – e concedere al consumatore la licenza di “godersela”
