The calendar might tell you we’re in the midst of the lazy days of summer but recent buzz in the marketing world tells a different story. Entrepreneurial energy is humming in some less expected spots:
- At MasterCard: The credit card giant has launched a new iPhone App Priceless.com that lets users find and recommend their favorites. It’s tres cool. Marketers should take note. For as The New York Times just said – it’s becoming more and more critical for businesses to manage their online reputations.
- At your office: Duct Tape Marketing readers debate whether companies should support entrepreneurial activities. Read about the Power of the Embedded Entrepreneur.
- In New Orleans: Last week Entrepreneur Magazine had the story – this week The New York Times did a big piece on the start-up community in New Orleans. (Yes, that’s Shawn Burst, Dukky’s founder, in the photo.)
- At BlogHer: Here’s a dirty tale about a mommy blogger attempting to blackmail the social media guy from Crocs. Seriously.
- In Direct Mail: See a demo of the future of direct mail. Hint: direct mail + social media + voice technology
