An interesting article providing perspectives on marketing to youth recently posted on towardfreedom.com with Susan Linn forwarded to me by Premise friend Aaron Smith. Agree with a lot of what she has to say, LOVE her statement that refers to marketing of yesteryear like a BB gun and today's marketing like a smart bomb!Aug 27, 2008

Is it just me, or have TV advertisers been using some really good music these days? I mean, the other night I was about to fall asleep when I heard a catchy song coming through the television. I opened my eyes and actually watched the commercial, all the while humming along to the tune.

The Mom and The Marketer
Posted in: Immersive Marketing, Premise Observers, Targeting from the Inside Out, Youth Marketing (0) Comments
