I was at a family BBQ last weekend, sitting in my usual spot at the kid’s table, when my 15-year-old cousin whipped out his cell phone and told me to ask him anything. He’s always been “the smart cousin,” and was my source for entertainment at the family functions, so I was more than happy to play along.

Right when I think I have the latest in technology, Apple goes out and shakes things up. I just recently bought an iPod nano along with my MacBook Pro. I was feeling pretty high tech until I realized that the new nano was just launched yesterday and features a much slimmer, sleeker design as well as a bunch of other cool new features.

Commercializing Childhood
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

Feet on the Street

As "they say", you can learn a lot about youth by the shoes on their feet. Without meaning to be hyper judgmental (confession, I am a sneaker freaker), the footwear a person identifies with even more so than other fashion, typically is a direct reflection of their personality, the subcultures they belong too and manytimes a window into their level of influence among peers.

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