Posted by: Valerie Jennings, CEO of JSMM The game has changed again for online videos and this time, it’s in the favor of video marketers. YouTube, the most popular video website, has seen a 25 percent increase in streaming video in just eight months. What has changed?

Consumers now have even more access to the video website and therefore can watch more hours of video everyday. The increase in tablet users and smartphone owners this past holiday season has also helped to boost these numbers even higher. If you haven’t already planned [...]

Posted by: Valerie Jennings, CEO of JSMM Is MySpace worth saving: Justin Timberlake thinks so. In this new campaign to save the dying social network, Timberlake joined with MySpace and Panasonic to propose a new way to draw users back. I think there could be some potential still on MySpace, but it will need to be more aggressive than Facebook to catch up.

Social Media, Search Marketing and Digital Media becoming one

Posted By Valerie Jennings, CEO of JSMM This article, written by Harry Gold at ClickZ, does a great job reviewing how social media, search engine optimization (SEO) and paid digital media are becoming part of one world.

I think marketing professionals need a clear picture when it comes to understanding their goals, objectives, prospects and then balance these initiatives among social media, SEO and digital media buying to keep organizations’ expectations and ROI on target. It’s difficult when boundaries continue to evolve based on new technology, but everyone can stick with the basics: without a clear plan [...]
