Why cynical genX-ers shouldn’t get media company party invitations…
These things are all the same; some hipster media company hosts a party in a gritty downtown neighbourhood, gathering all the same ad agency, marketing lackies and media goons. We’re stuffed full of sushi, popcorn, and drinks that have glowing ice cubes. It’s normally in the late afternoon, because these same people wouldn’t venture into the gritty neighbourhood after dark.
In fact I was playing buzz-word bingo, as they were all talking about how their new social network advertising platform changes the paradigm to one more customer centric, giving advertisers a value added, relationship building, branding opportunity solution. Not only that, the upcoming metrics and measurements track the engagement and help us build even stronger dialogs. Never before has the long-tail been so accessible. It’s win-win-win, baby!
I threw up a bit in my mouth, but I did get some good swag (baseball cap and t-shirt, and I nicked the glowing ice cubes)
