Other than the fact that there are some great brands located in the state, including Kohler, which happens to be the location of the American Club - site of this week's Brand Marketers Summit - why did MediaPost pick it as a location. Partly because of Camp Anokijig. What's that? You haven't heard of Camp Anokijig, well it played an important role in the development of a young Ken Fadner, the founder and chairman of MediaPost, and the guy who gets to decide where our summits take place.

That's right, MediaPost got its second-ever Brand Marketers Summit off to a start this morning in Kohler, Wisconsin, and MediaPost Chairman Ken Fadner said it will be an "at least annual" event.

Yahoo's content partnership with Procter & Gamble may be fresh, but according to Yahoo chief Ross Levinsohn, it's not really a new model between a marketer and a media company. In fact, he says it's one of the oldest.

Asked by Publicis chief Maurice Levy what Procter & Gamble's mobile strategy is, the packaged goods giant's marketing chief Marc Pritchard said it's not to get too hung up on the technology, but to think of it as another way of connecting with customers.

Silicon Valley and Wall Street may think Yahoo is toast - or at the very least, a wounded beast - by not the folks on Madison Avenue and in Cincinnati, think it's a new kind of media company that's worth partnering with because of its ability to connect with consumers.
