Help us make Biz better for you Today we've launched our Biz reader survey, to which the first 1000 readers to respond will each receive a one-month subscription to iPad-only daily magazine iMaverick. Read more about the reader research here and take the survey here. We thank you in advance for your time and feedback. On the industry news side: Herman Manson profiles Acceleration Media and Di Charton; intrepid Bizbloggers Karin Botta and Uno de Waal of trigger/isobar blogged voraciously from SxSW last week; and the new Brand South Africa country marketing slogan has been continuing to inspire new comments and opinions. Sparring in the boxing ring we have Chris Vick again, Ferial Haffajee (editor of City Press) and Peter Bruce (editor of Business Day); and Yusuf Abramjee (of Primedia Broadcasting and Lead SA) and Raymond Joseph (journalist, journalism trainer and media consultant). Red Bull also had its wings clipped over its "Jesus" ad; and the fight against the Protection of Information Bill in its current format continues. In terms of new this-and-that, Brendan Cooper is returning as FHM editor; Elton Ollerhead joined Mediamark as MD today; 5FM has announced who is replacing Sasha Martinengo; Good Hope FM has decided not to mess with its lineup much; Grazia South Africa will launch on 18 May; and The Jupiter Drawing Room (Johannesburg) has lost the Edcon Group Cellular TTL account to Promise. Oh, and Brand SA (aka the old International Marketing Council of SA) has a happy new chairperson and deputy, and Port Elizabeth has a new newspaper.

 [Nishan Singh] In light of the online shopping trend, intellectual property proprietors face new challenges with the enforcement of their rights against new forms of unauthorised use across millions of websites, in multiple languages and domains. Enforcement of rights is costly and difficult in the online environment, so companies are advised to implement methods of proactively deterring infringement before it occurs. Read more >>

 [Naseem Javed] South African organisations must face the new emerging globalisation of domain names as ICANN gTLDs become a reality and equally balance with non-English language domains available for the local and regional markets. The issues of domain name management are now very complex, expensive and, at times, may dictate the future of the name brand. Read more >>

 [Maja Rode] Kony 2012 has undoubtedly become one of the most successful social media-driven marketing campaigns to date, primarily because the public doesn't seem to look at it as a marketing campaign at all. If brands and their causes really do want to compete with Kony 2012, they will have to bear a few important things in mind. Read more >>

 [Charles Siboto] Not that long ago, in a galaxy known as the Milky Way, on a planet called Earth, I read the words 'Save a Non-Geek Today' in a PC Format editor's note, and was amused by the seemingly far-fetched concept. Little did I know that those words foretold the revolution that is silently sweeping over the world and converting the masses into geeks without them realising it. Read more >>

 [Herman Manson: @marklives] Acceleration Media is an old hand at the digital media game. It was launched as a specialist online media company more than 12 years ago, at a point in time when everybody was talking about the potential of online media but when advertisers were not nearly as invested in the medium as they are today. Read more >>
 [Godfrey Parkin] Since a critical mass of senior executives were given iPads for Christmas, even the most previously technophobic of business leaders are demanding that digital marketing be taken seriously. This is a blessing and a curse - we see a lot of overnight app-happiness driving silly projects ahead of important initiatives. But at last the momentum is building and companies are striving to connect with customers in the digital places where they hang out. Read more >>
 [Lindsay Grubb] What you're putting out there gives us a window into your world and helps us form ideas and opinions about you. These might form differently if we were meeting with you in person, but when all we've got to go on is our potential "victims" last 10 tweets or likes or shares, it is this "first impression" that lasts.

 [trigger/isobar goes to SxSW] Karin Botta: Another prevalent theme at SXSW was content marketing - something that we are all talking about and including in most 2012 digital strategies. I went to two panels that addressed this topic in different ways: 'brands as patterns' - from a design point of view, and 'multiplatform storytelling' from a film, entertainment and marketing point of view. Read more >>[trigger/isobar goes to SxSW] Uno de Waal: While SxSW has a great lineup of incredible speakers and events, the fringe events that happen around the main conference are equally as exciting and a great way to add extra value to your time at in Austin. One of these sessions was the PSFK Need to Know series, which was hosted after most of the other talks had finished, and styled as a networking event. Read more >> [trigger/isobar goes to SxSW] Uno de Waal: SxSW Interactive is primarily a conference attended by the tech-set. However, SXSW also sees a lot of people attending from the non-technical side, such as branding, strategy and marketing. Often the two overlap, and often we need different metaphors from different industries to explain things. The most interesting of these metaphors came from the brands as APIs, content publisher discussions and the way we measure ROI in social media talks. Read more >> [trigger/isobar goes to SxSW] Karin Botta: I attended a talk on Monday afternoon, 12 March 2012, where a small group discussed brands that operate in regulated industries and the issues they encounter in finding content and ensuring it gets approved and published in fairly short lead times. Many of the brands that exist in South Africa are either in regulated industries or are global with strict guidelines that may or may not be relevant to the local market, so I believe that is a relevant and important topic for us.

 Most CEO's believe that marketers lack business credibility. Moreover, they feel marketers are not the business growth generators they should be, and are not focused enough on effectiveness - this was the key finding of a recent survey conducted by global consultancy, the Fournaise Marketing Group.
