Web 3.0 on the Horizon

No Gravatar

Just when you thought that you finally understood the term “web 2.0”, people are now talking about “web 3.0”. Other than just trying to confuse you more, the idea behind web 3.0 doesn’t take you away from the ever so outdated 2.0 level.

As the technology grows and web 3.0 develops more into a form, we will start to see more web intelligence by semantic search queries and more relevant search data returned to us based on our history of searches. Browsers and search engines will be more understanding of what our tastes are and ultimately become more accurate. Returning personalized search results, not random data.

How would this work? Intelligent data can be gathered from traditional web 2.0 applications, user generated content and other information sharing sources to feed a 3.0 pipeline. Having the technology to understand your decisions and actions might help you make your decisions. HowStuffWorks.com demonstrated the following example:

“Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. In our example, you could type “I want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good Mexican restaurant. What are my options?” The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.”

Below are some  slideshows that do a great job describing how these concepts work. Check them out!

Taking it to the next level…
Could your business or lifestyle use 3.0? What advances do you see happening in how the Advertising and Marketing world operate?

Real Results: 120th Anniversary Celebration Ignites Momentum!

No Gravatar

San Jose, CA based O’Connor Hospital is celebrating their 120th Anniversary. To promote this milestone, a unique logo was developed and it has become the focal point of an aggressive local print and mall banner campaign. The logo was also used to recognize the 120 years at The Spirit of O’Connor Gala in October to raise funds for O’Connor’s Imaging Services department.

The strategy of promoting O’Connor Hospital’s 120th Anniversary has generated strong market pressure and further enhanced the core identity of “It’s The Way We Care”.

Client Spotlight: 25 Years of Dedication

No Gravatar

Donnellon McCarthy
Orange Label Art + Advertising built its foundation on long-term client relations. However, even by these standards, the 25 year relationship with Donnellon McCarthy, a Cincinnati-based office technology dealership, is remarkable and extremely newsworthy in the advertising industry. Even though they are b2b, we’ve used business-to-consumer advertising strategies with morning drive radio as the backbone of a strategy that has also included marketing materials from corporate brochures to delivering truck and vehicles wraps.


During the twenty-five year relationship, Donnellon McCarthy has remained independent in spite of two very significant roll-ups in the copier/office technology industry. They have passed the baton from one generation to the next, transitioned from selling analog to digital technology, experienced significant organic growth and expanded geographically to have a marketing area that includes Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

Economist says “Ramp up on Advertising and Marketing”

vistage-logo

At the Vistage Economic Summit recently, Economist Alan Beaulieu, president of the Institute for Trend Research in New Hampshire cited several tips for business owners as the economy comes out of the recession, one being “Ramp up on Marketing and Advertising.” Read all the tips below!

Tips for business owners

Economist Alan Beaulieu says business owners should take action as the economy comes out of recession:
• The beginning of 2010 will be a golden time to expand: equipment and real estate will be inexpensive, interest rates low.
• Borrow as much money as possible because future interest rates will rise.
• Hire the exceptional talent that will be available through 2010.
• Cease activities that don’t create profit; eliminate unprofitable products.
• Ramp up marketing and advertising.
• Look for ways to sell in western Canada, Brazil and Australia. These countries are positioned for strong future growth. Russia and China are not positioned for growth.
• Define and tout your competitive advantage.
• Lead with optimism. Be the chief cheerleader.

Creating Your Personal Brand

No Gravatar

Brand is behavior. It is not just what you do, but what you do and how people react, or as learned in the OC Ad Federation Event: How to Create and Market My Personal Brand, it is the “emotional aftertaste.” There is a vast difference in what you claim and how you fulfill the expectations you set. I guess at the end of the day, it is not the perception you have of your self that matters, but the perceptions others have of you. Remember to be consistent and keep it real!

Radio Produces Results FAST!

No Gravatar

I am proud to announce that another one of our clients has already exceeded their sales goal as a result of our radio campaign we produced for them. We targeted the hispanic community in Austin, Texas and used our “direct response” formula in driving leads with copy and media strategy. The goal was to increase occupancy in their modular home parks, specifically getting down to 20 openings (from 60) by mid September. It is only September 1st and they are down to 16 openings! Great work!
