West Virginia University’s WVUMCToday is the intersection of data-driven decision making and marketing practice.
Twenty years ago, communications was a sub-category in PR. In the 1980s and 1990s, PR professionals spent their working hours on crisis communications, employee communications, shareholder communications, marketing communications, etc. These were targeted, specialized forms of PR.
In this podcast, listeners will take away practical guidance on cultivating a unique brand identity in the modern landscape. Emphasizing the importance of being a brand "leader" instead of a "manager," Dan Hill, CEO of Hill impact, offers valuable tips to modern branding strategies using data-driven insights without losing sight of organizational value.
Tune in Thursday, 12:30 PM Pacific and join host, Matthew Cummings and his guest, Leo Morejon, Co-founder, Managing Partner of Dog & Pony. Some of what will be discussed in this episode includes:
Host Matthew Cummings speaks with award-winning designer and creative director Nathan Pieratt about the three ways data impacts the creative process: it informs, it adds complexity and it uncovers insights. Pieratt shares stories from his more than 15 years of industry experience to illustrate how data helps determine the right channels, audience segments and messaging. While adding complexity and time to the creative process, data can uncover behaviors that lead to more insights…making the extra time and effort well worth it.
WVU Marketing Communications hosts Cyndi Greenglass and Mathew Cummings will interview faculty at the INTEGRATEconference offered by the WVU Reed College of Media. INTEGRATE has hundreds of current and emerging thought leaders attending each year to share the latest trends and best practices shaping the IMC world.
Well before the current frenzy over “tweets gone wild,” Joe Barnes walked into businesses, for profits and non-profits, and would ask: “What’s your social media policy?” The usual response was: We don’t have one, or “Go talk to marketing about that.” In his travels he realized that nearly every business and organization he walked into, no matter what size, did not have a written social media policy, nor did they clearly understand or even know what the Federal Trade Commission requires in the way of disclosure. That’s why he wrote his book: “Social Media Ethics Made Easy: How to Comply with FTC Disclosure Requirements.” The book is available from Business Expert Press or on Amazon. Our host today is Matthew Cummings.
