It’s been a bad week or so for online advertising foolishness and chicanery. No big surprise for yours truly. I’ve been yacking about all this nonsense for a decade. A post from 2006: The Brouhaha Over WOMM … When it all comes out in the wash, WOMM will be the best thing to happen to (silly retronym ahead) traditional advertising. Pretty soon, consumers won't believe anybody - even their best friends.
Video consumption is rapidly shifting from 47 inches to 4.7 inches, and communicating value propositions through mobile video is the next big gold standard.
