Shame, silence and charade: Rajesh Kalra's blog
The web of cricket match fixing is getting denser. And as names of more and more bookies stumble out in investigation, what stands out conspicuously is that not a single big name has been revealed.
In all the euphoria over arrests of three cricketers and dozens of bookies, it did seem initially that, for a change, this time the crooks would be exposed in no uncertain terms. But, as we are increasingly seeing, the cabal has closed ranks, the cabal that runs across political parties and their beneficiaries and even benefactors.Shame, silence and charade:Random Access:Rajesh Kalra's blog-The Economic Times

Luxury brands 'afraid' of digital and social
Luxury brands are “afraid” of digital and social marketing because opening up information about brands to a much wider audience flies in the face of the exclusive nature of luxury brands, according to Markus Kramer, Aston Martin marketing director.
Kramer, who was speaking to Marketing Week at the Forrester Forum for Marketing Leaders last week, took on the first formal CMO role at Aston Martin in 2010. He believes marketing is still a “nascent” discipline in the luxury sector, which explains why many brands are “afraid” of the “massive beast” of digital marketing.

Pet owners confess: How much I really spend on my dog, cat, or rabbit
If you're considering the idea of adding a four-legged member to your family, you're likely picturing a lot of rainy-day snuggling and Instagrams that solicit "awwws" from your friends.
But there is one more practical thing to consider: the costs.
And by costs, we're not just referring to how much you'll pay to get the animal — there are plenty of other key expenses, from food and vet bills to petsitting.

30 Overused Buzzwords in Digital Marketing
We've all sat through meetings that are teeming with buzzwords. Optimization! Synergy! Collaboration! Engagement! While some buzzwords actually have substance (i.e. big data), many people use (and overuse) buzzwords just to try to sound smart, when in fact, they have no idea what's going on.
Over the past 30 days, we've led you through the buzzword lexicon — highlighting the most confusing jargon in the digital marketing dictionary. Hopefully you're caught up and won't be blinded by glittering generalities the next time someone spouts off about custom activations or refers to himself as a thought leader.

Hilariously Bad Ads That Were Rejected
Originating in the UK, the annual Chip Shop Awards is an international creative award for un-used advertising ideas that celebrates creativity with “no limits”.
“The Chips is all about ideas. Your work does not have to have been broadcast, printed or mailed. The Clients doesn't have to be yours. You just need a brilliant idea”
This results in some hilariously bad ideas that don’t meet with the client’s approval—mainly because they are politically incorrect, insensitive, offensive or just in bad taste.

Does Your '360 Campaign' Need to Be a Perfect Circle?
Marketers are always looking for ways to give their ideas a fresh spin. Sometimes a new terminology can set apart an idea. "It's like what we did last year, but now it's gamified," someone might say. And sometimes a term comes along that is not only fresh, but flexible. The phrase "360 campaign" is one. The number 360 is both broad and powerful, and there's no definitive example that sets apart what a 360 campaign really is. Rather, it can mean a lot of things.
There's no appearance of "360 campaign" in books up through 2008, as a Google Ngram shows, so it's a relatively new term.

KPI: What Is a Key Performance Indicator?
KPIs are often seen as a cure to what ails the online ad industry. During AOL's first-quarter earnings call in 2012, CEO Tim Armstrong discussed how he was trying to convince more advertisers to use them:
"The majority of our ad customers are running their display budgets off of KPIs (key performance measures like brand lift)," Armstrong told Adweek. "We need to reconnect brands to KPIs. We've sort of needed to shift from an older display model to a newer display model, and that’s something we’re working through."
Got that? It's time to reconnect with KPIs, man. Dive into that KPI goodness.
What are KPIs, you ask?
