Alignment Forms Independent Powerhouse: Largest Firm in Ohio and Top 30 Nationally
Last week I got invited to a lunch and learn titled The Obama Factor & FTC Update. Three associates from the law firm Frost Brown Todd came into our offices to speak about this very interesting subject.
One of the topics they addressed was collecting behavioral data online, which to me, as an advertiser is key information to my clients' businesses. Today, consumers have control over where and how they receive messages. The purpose of behavioral targeting is to send our client's message to the right person when they are ready to receive it.

There is no denying that what was once called the traditional media landscape is fast becoming an antiquated term. Most discussions surrounding the changes with media inevitably make their way back to something related to digital applications and technology.
Our view is that technology has morphed from an additional vehicle to a great enabler and equalizer. We know Americans are more and more adept at multi-tasking. A recent Experian Simmons report revealed that approximately 90% of us watch TV in a typical day and upwards of 70% use some other media while doing so. Surfing the web, using cell phones and emailing were cited as activities most often done while watching TV.
In high school we thought our reputation meant the world. Everyone tried his or her hardest to protect an image. We were painstakingly set on who we wanted to be and would do anything to defend it. We monitored the conversations going on around us like hawks, always careful to analyze every shred of gossip to see what people were saying about us. And though that time in everyone's life is difficult, I think we, as professionals, could actually stand to learn a lot from teenagers and their deep commitments to their reps.
I'm not saying we completely revert back to our teenage days of name-calling and pettiness, but I do think that if we take a hybrid sample of our teenage spirit and professional knowledge, it can really start to work in our favor and benefit our clients. In fact, measuring a corporate reputation is increasingly the focus of several professional studies.
