Even Microsoft Gets It
by Michael HoffmanMonday, August 6th, 2007
I am not at all optimistic about the long-term prospects of Microsoft as a company. And that is for a different post. But in terms of digital advertising, some of their folks get it. I have been writing a long time about how advertising is changing, how you the fundraiser or the marketer must adopt the new paradigm that entertains, shows instead of tells, and meets people in their communities with content that interests them — and allows them to contribute to the conversation. Here’s a cute video representation of the problem consumers have with traditional advertisers.

Michael,
This is AWESOME! First video example I’ve seen to clearly illustrate the changing nature of our times. Ugh! To think we’ve been acting like this arrogant guy for so long. NO MORE!
Thanks for sharing!
