Media24/ABC: have we all forgiven and forgotten?
So what's happening with the Media 24 ABC scandal? Have we all forgiven and forgotten? If yes, then the industry really doesn't care about the ABC's meaning that it opens the door for other publishers to do this type of fraud as well. 31 Oct 2007

Online marketing strategies
More often that not, web design companies just churn out websites that are not located within a holistic framework that is aligned to the overall goals of their clients' businesses. Therefore, you get an end product that does not make an impact on the clients' bottom-line. 23 Oct 2007
The "customer" is always WRONG.
The fallacy exists that because the client pays the design agency, he actually knows more about design than the designer does. 23 Oct 2007

Boring ads during RWC
What was up with all the boring ads during the rugby world cup semi-final on Sunday night? Do our advertisers think women don't watch the rugby? Or do they think all the men watching are too dronk for subtlety or clever advertising? Surely this is a sought after spot for any brand. Where's the creativity? 15 Oct 2007

Is MTN a crap network?
Why are MTN sms delayed? I'm an MTN contract and prepaid subscriber and have been for as long as I can remember, however, i noticed about six months ago that sms' are delayed, intended recipients call or respond about 2hr to a day late. it's not all sms' that are delayed, sometimes i'm lucky and the reciepient will get it immediately but i have gripes with the fact that the network is getting away with this. i've tried contacting their contact centre but usually i'm on hold for about 20 minutes before anyone answers my call. is it just me or do all MTN subscribers - contract and prepaid experience this? i've tried both Vodacom and Cell C but their service is appalling to say the least. Maybe i should pay Mr. Branson a visit. 11 Oct 2007

Should all publishing houses be audited?
We all know about the recent audit of the 12 businesses of Media 24 but I think – as a member of the media and advertiser – that we work to get the ABC to do a full audit of all houses including RS&P, Associated and all concerned. 3 Oct 2007
