MARKETING & MEDIA The hidden cost of creativity[Nyembezi ...] I've been exposed to a myriad of advertising campaigns that are inspiring in terms of creativity, but essentially poor in selling the product they're advertising. It explains why ad agencies lose accounts that have won them prestigious awards. A lot of ads may get the audience's attention, and perhaps even entertain them, yet they fail to drive them as consumers: the worst example being clever ads whose products the audience forgets. | |
MARKETING & MEDIA Time for a long hard look at The Loerie Awards[Chris Moerdyk] The only possible justification for an event such as the annual Loerie Awards is that it gives the people who work in advertising agencies an opportunity to escape the daily grind of watching creativity stifled by commercial interests. | |
RETAIL Should your company move to the cloud?[Rob Lith] "Cloud-based communications has clear benefits, but whether those benefits will accrue to your organisation depends on a number of factors. If your enterprise answers to any of the questions in the checklist below, you may be in the market for a hosted PBX." | |
MARKETING & MEDIA Johannesburg billboard landscape revealed - who is doing what?[Tatenda Chiweshe] Big brands in South Africa are obliged to place a large portion of their outdoor spend in Johannesburg. Although public statistics are scant, there is no doubt that the city is South Africa's most important in terms of population, GDP, consumer spend, international arrivals and almost every other economic indicator that would tickle a media/advertising professional's fancy. | |
LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINMENT Pork Nirvana[Nina Timm] September is almost here and so we would expect spring to be in the air. Luckily for me, we still have some very cold nights and, in the morning, I still prefer to have my coffee in bed rather than on the stoep. I love winter, I love comfort food and, let's face it, if I have to choose between a healthy salad or healthy soup, the soup will win hands down! | |
RETAIL Moving call centre agents back home[Jed Hewson] When call centres moved into the cloud and starting making use of hosted contact centre solutions, agents began moving out of offices - a phenomenon known by some as "homeshoring". According to Gartner Research, 1 out of every 10 international call centres is likely to shift at least partly to home-based agents. | |
MARKETING & MEDIA Marikana has shown how poor communication can be a killer[Chris Moerdyk] One thing was abundantly clear to me when I looked at the tragedy of what is now being called "The Marikana Massacre" and that is everyone from the mine management to the police, government and the miners themselves, failed hopelessly when it came to communicating with each other. | |
MARKETING & MEDIA The DIY CMS website - is it for you?[Chemory Gunko] I received a very interesting piece of email marketing the other day. In it, the writer was selling a course to teach people how to build their own CMS (content-managed) websites. | |
ENERGY & MINING Lonmin: Crossed the bounds of negotiation into anarchy and war[Paddy Hartdegen] Just imagine if I walked into my boss's office at the end of the year, armed with a machete and a shotgun, and demand that he or she triple my salary from R4 000 a month to R12 500 a month. And then get uptight and aggressive because my boss called security, marched me off the premises and refused to have anything to do with me at all until, at least, I had laid down my arms. | |

LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINMENT Comforting casseroles[Nina Timm] It is the time of year when mornings are slightly chilled and evenings are darker and colder and it is definitely time to think of soups, stews and steaming puddings. It is without a doubt my favourite time of the year and I love waking up when it is still dark and I can watch the sun rise from my office window. | |
LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINMENT "The Wrong Kid Died" track by track[Justin Williams] Haezer's latest EP, "The Wrong Kid Died", is a giant step forward for the South African electronic music scene. Having been released on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak label, this will definitely start making overseas listeners appreciate more what our local artists are doing and take them to a global stage. I had the opportunity to listen to the new EP and here's what's inside: | [Funny Business] Casual Friday[Rico Schacherl] |
