Snap! B2B iPhone Apps! Part II

Snap! B2B iPhone Apps! Part II

The other week, The Marketing Consigliere posted a blog about iPhone apps for B2B organizations.  Those apps were primarily mobile extensions of CRM applications, for use by salespeople.  There are few more to talk about, each more suitable for the marketing side of an organization.  Ironically, despite the “hotness” of the iPhone and in the Marketing arena, the “hotness” of marketing automation tools, it’s hard to […]

Adobe – Omnipotent with Omniture?

Adobe – Omnipotent with Omniture?

Web Analytics 800-pound gorilla Omniture was picked up this week by 1,600-pound solutions provider Adobe for a mere $1.8 billion.  This was a fantastic development for network-centric marketers and hopefully will set the stage for things to come regarding behavioral marketing and campaign management. Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the “creative” camp, metrics are here to stay and will continue to drive marketing efforts, which are increasingly Network Centric.  Now […]

eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit

Last spring at ad:tech, The Marketing Consigliere had a limited amount of time to spend at the show so he opted to walk around and drill marketers and product managers at their exhibition booths rather than sit with the herd at the keynotes or breakout sessions. With a huge floor to cover, whom did he choose to visit first? In his hotel room the night before, […]

A Perfect Match?

A Perfect Match?

Omniture and salesforce.com announced the launching of Omniture Closed-Loop Marketing on salesforce.com’s AppExchange. This is a great example of aligning sales and marketing – working with sales, marketers will be able to follow simultaneous marketing campaigns and to ascribe credit to the specific campaigns resulting in a sale, transaction or a conversion. Marketers should be all over this and sales should be demanding more campaigns. Even without the robust salesforce.com […]

The Quantitative to Qualitative Spectrum of Marketing Data

The Quantitative to Qualitative Spectrum of Marketing Data

A couple weeks back, the Web Analytics Association hosted a webinar entitled “Web Analytics is Easy!” along with Eric Peterson’s Web Analytics Demystified. The title was ironic on purpose. Web analytics is complicated and just beginning to evolve. One of the most interesting slides called “Web Site Optimization Ecosystem Technology” prompted me to do a little quick and dirty research. The idea of the slide was that pure web analytics tools measuring […]
