  • Dunkin on Facebook
    "Our brand is an everyday ritual for many people," said Frances Allen, Dunkin Donuts, brand marketing officers. The company has a strong sense of personal communication. "I think you've heard a lot of poeple refer to my Dunkin." No, actually, I've never heard anyone say that. Maybe it's not a New York thing. She said Facebook gave Dunkin another way to connect with poeple who already have strong connection with a brand. A broad platform for messaging and offering promotions.

  • limits of mobile marketing
    If agencies are having a tough time adjusting to the "distraction" of social media, mobile will be even more difficult, warned Rohan. Just because a business like search has been huge on the Internet doesn't mean it will be on mobile b/c of the form factor of the phone and the increased complexity of the medium.

  • Social Nets: A Walk In The Park
    Here’s one we haven’t heard before. Social networks, says Jordan Rohan, Founder and Managing Partner at Clearmeadow Partners, are like Central Park. “It’s very hard to spend money in Central Park … It’s very important to the city, but you’re not going there to spend money,” he says. “Very few people make any money off it.” Sure, like social networks, there are those retailers that are immediately adjacent to it, and will make money as a result, but they’re few and far between.

Central Park in New York City, he said, adds to the quality of life in New York City, but for all the real estate it occupies, it does not contribute substantially to the commerce of the community. “It’s very hard to spend a lot of money in Central Park in New York City,” he said. “TO me, that is social media.” On the other hand, he extended the metaphor, there is some real estate located …

  • Analyst Finds Signs Of Life, Albeit Very Preliminary Ones
    OMMA Global Day 2 opening keynoter Jordan Rohan is saying that ad agencies may not be the sexiest part of the digital media boom, but they are a key, influential part of the ecosystem. “Wow, the industry excitement for the digital media industry, may or may not be within the agency community, but because they are the stewards of the various brands that use Twitter, Facebook… at some point, their future is in their hands,” Rohan, who is founder and managing partner of Clearview Partners, explained.
