LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINMENT Cloud Atlas for beginners[Daniel Dercksen] If there is one film that is going to change the way that you see filmmaking, visual storytelling and the human condition, in the same way Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life did, it's Cloud Atlas, an epic sci-fi drama that is every bit as much of a head-trip as the film that made the Wachowskis famous 13 years ago, The Matrix. | |
LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINMENT The Odd Life Of Timothy Green[Daniel Dercksen] It is magical films like The Odd Life Of Timothy Green that remind us why we go to the movies.

MARKETING & MEDIA Newsjacking: Hurricane Sandy vs Lance Armstrong[Ann Druce] American marketers have drawn criticism for "newsjacking" Hurricane Sandy. American Apparel offered a 20% discount for 36 hours "in case you are bored during the storm" and Sears advertised on Twitter "Did Hurricane Sandy affect your city?

MARKETING & MEDIA Spot the strategy![Rolf Akermann] Is creativity clouding the issue...? When I studied at university and at IMM for a marketing manager course, etc it was always a task for students to define the target market and strategy that the brand was following of a particular campaign/commercial. At the risk of sounding like John Farquhar (whom I admire) I find creativity is clouding the issue. | |
MARKETING & MEDIA Social network: It won't pay if you don't play[Gill Moodie] There are no experts on Twitter and Facebook and I'd do a careful check on the credentials of any "consultant" you might be thinking of paying to advise your company or train your staff on how best to use them. | |

MARKETING & MEDIA The SAARF LSM and the defining power of fridges[Michelle Boehme] A few months ago, I read an article on consumer segmentation that asked why we're still defining people by their fridges.

MARKETING & MEDIA Five SA brands Charles Darwin would have loved[Banele Rewo] To add "innovation" in the company's mission and vision statement and not in the mind of the consumer should be a criminal offence. It is indisputable that there is an influx of new brands entering the market probably daily and new ideas are transforming the consumers in just as many days. Although this gives the consumer a universal view of the world, it is this global outlook that gives flat-footed brands a headache and innovative brands an edge. (video) | |
