Brilliant Slogan for Breast Pumping Suite

April 29, 2019 by Pamela Leave a Comment

During a recent layover in Atlanta, I did my usual walking around, taking in my surroundings. This breast pumping station stopped me in my tracks. Zappos and Mamava hit the mark on this one. I've thought these portable units were brilliant since I'd first seen them, but the in-your-face yet so inspiring instruction to "Let's get pumped!" takes it to a whole new level. It's … [Read more...]

May 24, 2016 by Pamela Leave a Comment

A screencap of Payne's original video shows 141 million views from May 19th to May 24th.

I, like so many others, watched Candace Payne's modeling of a Chewbacca mask in laughing tears. Unlike so many other viral videos, this one left me having to share it with friends, but not on the Internet. No, I had to queue it up on my iPad so I could watch it with them, experiencing the same hysterical laughter (mine, not hers) all over again. Payne is right... It IS the … [Read more...]

Screenshot of Facebook post with available reaction buttons.

Facebook has rolled out reaction buttons for posts. These emoji-style buttons allow users to do more than like what you post. They can love it.

While some page owners and marketers don't care for the latest update, the new buttons are going to provide better insight into what your … [Read more...]

Simply put, so many people - even ones active on social media - either haven't heard of Twitter's live streaming network, or are confused about what it does. In a nutshell...

Study Shows Marketers Having Difficulty Reaching Target Audiences Properly

October 15, 2015 by Pamela Leave a Comment

Visual Images Chart for Ads and Email

A recent study by Curalate reveals that, as a whole, marketers are failing when it comes to generating the right creatives for each channel.
