Picture Perfect or Deadly Trend

Picture perfect actors and actresses with gleaming smiles and tight bodies infiltrate every form of media today. Hollywood has always filled itself with men and woman that posses an ‘other-world’ glamor, that’s why they are called stars.

Leggings are not pants

Note: My entry is not completely about the horrid ‘leggings can work as pants’ movement. Rather, the title is what it is simply because I feel like it is my civic duty to inform the public of this fantastic fashion flaw.

Pop culture gaming has been chocked full of product-placement and in-game advertising for years. Previously, products like Powerade are statically placed inside the game. Generally, once a game is launched, the ads will never change.

The Mom and The Marketer

It's a fine line to walk: being a mom and being a marketer. I have to balance my instinctive nature to protect my own children from the thousands of impressions that bombard them daily while working on campaigns to engage youth in our client’s product or services that basically are intended to do the same thing. I find myself in a bit of a conundrum at times.

The Mashup Round—up

The Premise team attended the National YPulse Mashup last week in San Francisco. As usual, we gained some useful insight about youth-culture and managed to have a little fun at the same time.
