For me one of my favourite dining moments was the unveiling of the smoke jar egg at Restaurant Amuse in East Perth. Just one course of an extensive degustation that left me overwhelmed with awe. But on the opposite scale of things one of my other favourites is purchasing banh mi roadside in Vietnam for around AUD 50 cents and standing up, demolishing the delicious baguette with more gusto than I'd like to admit.
I just love food. I love cooking it; love dissecting flavours and complimentary notes and ingredients with as much curiosity and gleeful innocence as a child. Since I didn't realise how I felt about cooking until later in my life, I haven't (at least not yet!) gone down the path of a career in food (given my love of marketing and my corporate alter ego) so this blog was started to celebrate my ever-growing adoration of substance and edible art.
I've only just recently this month reached my two year anniversary since I first created my faithful blogger account. Has it been a crazy ride? Maybe a little. But more than anything, it's been an enjoyable chance to wind down from my hectic life, to express myself and to celebrate the Perth (and sometimes beyond) culinary scene - whether it be humble market food or fancy fine dining. It all has a place in my heart. It always will.
So why start this blog post on my recent dinner at Petite Mort this way? I think it's something I just want to make clear to any readers who stumble across my little website. I am a food blogger. I'm not an expert, and I know sometimes the lines can blur in this world of eating, snapping and writing. I write about food simply because if I didn't I'd probably never stop talking about it. I have nothing but respect for those who dedicate their working lives to the food industry - I hope the photos I take and the words I place on the page can do them justice.
You may have noticed I've slowed down a little in the blogging space when it comes to fine dining. It's still something I enjoy (who doesn't!) but with the ever-increasing pressures that come with being the breadwinner in the relationship while my partner is studying to be a paramedic it becomes a rare occasion. I don't mind at all, it's definitely worth it knowing that after an arduous and exhausting eighteen month application process with St John Ambulance, my boy was on the shortlist of 35 chosen out of 1400.
I've mentioned in other posts that our lives are on opposite schedules at the moment. I'm working full time, with some foodie events on now and then at night. He's studying during the week and working on the weekends for St John. As he's moving in to a month of afternoon/night shifts, we decided to have a date night on our final Saturday night for a few weeks.
I left the planning to Jeremy, thinking that we'd probably go somewhere casual for dinner with a movie afterwards. Boy was I surprised! He came home from work around 7pm and told me to get ready, we had a booking at 8pm at Petite Mort in Shenton Park. To say I was excited and completely surprised by this is an understatement. Around that time I was beginning to wish I hadn't been snacking on triple cream brie before he came home... but then again life's too short to regret cheese.
It's a cool night, but we dress up and make our way to Shenton Park. Petite Mort is in the burbs, quite close to Galileo which is an Italian restaurant I've heard quite a bit about. Walking in the restaurant looks like a restored house, which is likely the case.
It's dimly lit, with dark intimate tables and diners merrily toasting the night away. You have a choice of two different menus - a full degustation ($110) or the taste degustation menu ($95). Both sound extensive and comprehensive, but I leave it with my boy to decide which he'd like - he chooses the full version.
Not long after we advise our waitress and our drinks arrive, we're presented with our bread course for the evening. One piece of rye and another or brioche each with some cultured butter.
Bread for me is such a treat, particularly the immensely decadent brioche which is definitely the shining star of the two. It lines my belly and gets me ready for the food that will come next.
Our first formal course for the evening comes to the table as ham hock, with cubes of potato, crisp bacon and bacon foam. Our waiter then produces a pouring jug, topping our bowls up with a beautifully velvety looking potato veloute.
Made from a wonderful, deeply flavoured stock, the veloute is the real hero of this dish. It's buttery and rich - just the thing you want on a cold night to warm your soul. The bacon is a crisp shard, snapping in my mouth and offering a good hit of salt and fat.
The next course to come out is a 180 degree change from the veloute. The cured snapper is light and cool on the palate. I love (love, love, love) the ponzu jelly which is a nice spin on your standard cured fish and citrus flavour pairing. The wasabi sorbet is powerful but I really enjoy it since I'm the sort of person who smothers her food in wasabi - the only downfall is it melts really quickly before I get halfway through the plate.
This dish is just fresh and vibrant. Don't let the dim lighting influence your thoughts on how it looks - it was really impressive.
Leading on from the light snapper was a meatier and richer dish. A lovely rectangle of roasted pork belly sits proudly on one end atop a silky apple puree. The meat is juicy and tender; the fat rendered off so it melts in your mouth. The skin on top is paper thin; snapping in my mouth much to my great satisfaction.
In the middle of the dish is a little stack of cold pickled mushrooms which are just tart enough that they make your mouth water even as you eat. They're next to a good sized piece of crackling that I munch away on happily, enjoying the texture and salty flavour.
Finally down the other end of the plate is the "pig head" which mainly consists of cheek that has been broken down to a soft, moorish texture. The flavour of pork and scallop is classic and doesn't disappoint here - it's definitely my favourite part of the dish (especially when I slide my fork of meat through some of the leftover apple puree which is sweet and just slightly sour).
The duck dish is my favourite plating for the night. It's rich but somehow light at the same time when I start making my way through the different elements.
The confit thigh is gorgeous - there's really no words. I start off on this and fall into a tender meat heaven. Sadly the breast isn't able to live up to the same standard as it's a little dry in comparison - the dangers of this cut of meat!
I adore the garlic cream underneath the crisp croquette and the little chunks of sweet fig. It's a dish of punchy flavours, and a great mixture of different textures. The croquette is the hero for sure, breaking open to reveal lovely shredded pieces of duck inside that crumbed coating.
Once our plates have cleared from the duck course we're brought out our palate cleanser before the final savoury course. These days palate cleansers are generally sorbets, so I like that Petite Mort's version is something completely different.
The tiny cocktail glass has ginger water topped with a sparkling orange cream. We're instructed to drink it in one go, starting at the bottom and working your way up until you've finished it.
I'm not the biggest fan of ginger flavouring, but this is actually quite delicious. A little spicy, a little sweet. It definitely works like it should, cleansing my mouth of any residual flavour from the courses we'd eaten so far.
For the final savoury courses of the evening, we're actually given a choice out of two items. Though I want the steak, egg and chips option, Jeremy and I are keen to try the different options available so I concede and opt for the huon salmon.
Cooked at 49 degrees, the salmon is presented with horseradish in solid and foam form, with herbed potatoes, beetroot and carrot squares, beetroot shards and carrot crisps. It's definitely a work of art, with so many vibrant colours!
The salmon is soft and flakes apart. Cooking it at the low temperature has allowed it to keep a really fantastic texture that is offset against the crunch of the shards and crisps. I enjoy my dish... but I have to say, Jeremy's steak, egg and chips is the dish of the night.
It looks so simple, but this beautiful dish is so packed full of flavour it's almost hard to believe. The steak is tender, yielding to the knife with ease. I love that perfect little fried quail egg that sits on top, the yolk so stunningly vivid.
If I return to Petite Mort, I will definitely be choosing this humble and unassuming looking masterpiece!
By this time I can't believe we've nearly finished already and are moving on to the pre-dessert for the evening. It's pear sorbet on yoghurt with a candied walnut. And it is delicious. Like all the other dishes for the night, Jeremy and I both agree that everything we'd eaten to that point was something we would happily go to a restaurant and order as a standalone dish.
This sorbet is sweet and spiced; the candied walnut a great addition that elevates the mouthful as you crunch down. It's so yummy!
The dessert for the evening is titled simply 'death by chocolate'. It's definitely a showcasing of different chocolate bites. Atop of a pool of caramel and biscuit crumb sits a tiny macaron, white chocolate mousse in shell, dark chocolate truffles, ganache and mousse.
The white chocolate is my favourite - creamy, cool and utterly delightful and sweet. The ganache is also a great bite sized treat. Glossy, rich and texturally perfect.
When we finish our meal we're served petit fours, which is another round of macarons. I can see the other tables around us are offered tea and coffee but somehow we aren't offered this even though it's part of the menu. It's a bit disappointing, but not a massive issue.
For me, the night at Petite Mort was lovely. The food was just delicious and a different offering to other degustations I've enjoyed in the past. I really liked that when we went to pay and provided our entertainment card, the waiter advised us they don't scratch the panel off the back in the hopes you'll return again. Which I'm sure we will one day!
It was a lovely night though I did find myself feeling a little flat from the couple next to us. As a food blogger it's always a hard balance to find between enjoying your night out and trying to capture the moments with your camera. I have certain rules when it's a date night in particular - no flash, no making my boy wait more than a minute or two and no worrying about lighting. You just can't do anything about the shadows in a place like this where they rely on mood lighting.
It's even harder when you're seated next to people who find your photo taking amusing and actually laugh at you when you bring your camera out. Normally I don't mind, but as it continued throughout the night I found myself getting deflated and embarrassed. It wasn't a huge drama by any means, but after a day where I'd already had one intense conversation around blogging, it wasn't what I needed to experience.
I can only say now looking back at the night and the great food, and the great experiences that have fuelled my blog to date that I can shake it off. I will continue in my mission to write about my love of food and my eating adventures - and as I do, I'd like to say thank you for your support as a reader. Whether you're a one time visitor, a subscriber or a fellow blogger - knowing there are some people out there who don't find this whole food obsessions craze pathetic or amusing is enough to keep me going in this passion of mine.

2 lemons
handful of fresh mint shredded
spice mixture--oregano, nutmeg, parsley, thyme, cumin, and pepper
salt and pepper
PreparationMix all of the ingrediants in a bowl with the juice of one of the lemons and a big pinch of the spice mix; grill over charcoal or sautee in oil about fifteen minutes; serve with a healthy chunk of the other lemon to squeeze over final product.

That's right, "the world of karaoke singing." According to this movie, there really are circles in which warbling pop songs to recorded tracks in bars isn't an occasional alcohol-induced amusement but a full-fledged lifestyle, with its own jargon, etiquette and hard-fought competition. Why this should be surprising, I can't imagine -- name any activity, and you can bet that somebody somewhere has turned it into an active, organized subculture. Karaoke is widely sneered at in hip circles, but it's no more ridiculous, in any important way, than, say, being a movie buff. At least it's active rather than passive. The sneering seems to arise from the terror that most people feel of either suffering or witnessing public humiliation. Duets takes pains to demonstrate that in karaoke -- Japanese for "empty orchestra" -- it doesn't matter that much if you suck.
Early on, downtrodden corporate drone Todd Woods (Paul Giamatti) is coaxed by a pretty girl to sing "Hello It's Me" in a hotel bar, and after an unsteady start, he turns the number into a strutting tour de force. He's vocally dreadful, but he performs with such relish, such delighted amazement at his own lack of inhibition, that the crowd (on screen and off) goes nuts for him. In the background of a later scene, a drunken Japanese businessman (Tony Marr) croaks out "What I Like About You" sans any measure of melody or rhythm, and everyone ignores him. Neither man is mocked, because the point isn't vocal perfection, any more than the point of poetry slams is to create Petrarchan verse. Rather, it's to take the right to entertain back from the slickly produced professionals. The revolt against the homogenization of culture is a theme that's tough to bring off without sentimentality (and, in a big-studio movie, without disingenuousness), but it turns out to be the most touching element of Duets.
Each of the film's pairs neatly consists of one character in need of redemption and one ministering angel. Angel No. 1 is the pointedly named Liv, a guileless Vegas showgirl who meets her father for the first time at her mother's funeral and gloms on to him at once, determined to bond. The father, played by '80s pop dreamboat Huey Lewis, is a professional hustler who drifts from bar to bar breaking the ice with the question, "What do you call this, karate-oke?" before emptying wallets with killer Joe Cocker covers. Liv is played by Gwyneth Paltrow, daughter of the film's director, Bruce Paltrow, and yes, it turns out that Miss Thing can sing pretty well, too -- in her thin but dulcet voice, she does a very respectable "Bette Davis Eyes." Except for a wretched little monologue that no actress should get stuck with, in which Liv tells off her old man for rejecting her attempts to connect with him, Paltrow's facility for emotional responsiveness serves her well here. Her style blends believably with Lewis's effective, easygoing non-actor's performance: He's the acting equivalent of an above-average karaoke singer.
Angel No. 2 is Billy (Scott Speedman), a guileless Cincinnati underachiever who drives a cab. On the rebound from an unfaithful girlfriend, he stumbles into the company of Suzi (Maria Bello), a trampy itinerant bombshell who earns her keep with sex when she doesn't win enough singing in karaoke contests. Billy started out to be a priest, and -- you guessed it -- he teaches Suzi to respect herself. If Duets has a dud, it's this strand, but at least Billy's virtuous little homilies are easier to take coming from Speedman (of TV's Felicity) than they would be from Ben Affleck, for whom the role is said to have been originally intended.
The wild card in Duets is the story involving the aforementioned Giamatti as the sad-sack company man Todd, who cracks one day under the strain of anonymous, generic business travel, leaves his suburban home and family "for a pack of cigarettes," and just keeps going, wandering from karaoke bar to karaoke bar, popping pills, drinking beer and driving recklessly. Along the way he picks up Angel No. 3, an armed convict named Reggie (Andre Braugher) with a glorious singing voice. The two sing a heavenly "Try a Little Tenderness" together in a redneck bar. Inseparable thereafter, they head for a big-purse karaoke contest in Omaha, where the three plot lines converge at the melodramatic climax.
Giamatti, a slight, balding man who looks like a cross between Woody Allen and Peter Lorre, is still best known as Pig Vomit from the Howard Stern movie Private Parts. He's a perfectly excellent actor with a stripped-wire intensity, and in a just world, he'd be playing leads. The gifted Braugher (whose singing, alone among the principals, is partially dubbed by Arnold McCuller) can be a frightful ham, but he's unusually restrained here, probably because he had no choice -- with Giamatti bouncing off the walls around him, it was the only option. The two are wonderfully convincing as cosmically ordained friends; in their rumpled coats, they look like a Middle American version of Beckett's Vladimir and Estragon.

Study ConnectedTV – What's the leading strategy?
28.05.2012 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie ConnectedTV, English Content, Featured Stories
This is the main finding of a recent study conducted by MPP Global Solutions which tried to figure out which company has the best strategy to be successful in terms of the connected TV market. The findings of the study which was done during an online webinar showed that the respondents were undecided on where the successful future could be found.
The research which was called 'Redrawing the Lines in the Battle for the Living Room' states that just 26% of senior industry managers identified Apple's future TV service as successful in the long run. However, this findings was also mentioned by others with 22% who saw Google-TV and Netflix (17%) as creating the right effective strategy for the future. The MPP Global Solutions study analyzed the current position of the connected TV market as a whole and the major players within the industry.
"This inconclusive result reflects the content of the discussion; that the Connected-TV market is still coming out of the early adopter phase and even major players such as Apple, Google and Netflix are still trying to identify the best approach for success". James Eddleston, Head of Marketing, MPP Global Solutions.
Although some big companies like Google, Apple and the likes are working on their connectedTV strategy, the user is not there yet. A recent study by YouGov found out that just 35% of connected TV owners use their devices for on-demand services, with one in four (25%) having never connected it to the internet at all. It will take time until the user is following the connected TV trend as a whole. The study makers said connected TV sales is set to increase by 70% by 2016.
Spot On!
For companies trying to address the connected TV market, it is essential to develop an effective strategy for the right user experience. Until companies find some intelligent solution the user will probably stay with the magic combination: TV and the second screen: smartphones and tablets. At the moment, users love to do multitasking as we learned from the latest Yahoo and Razorfish study. The respondents of that study said 80% do multitasking while watching TV. More than 60% use their mobiles once or twice while watching TV. And I am quite sure this will stay for quite a while. Or is the split screen a solution? Or the one-in-one program as a time-shift solution? While you change to the internet, the TV program goes in a stand-by mode?
Hörbuch oder Videotraining – Was bildet mehr?
08.03.2012 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie Daily Top 3
Es ist ein wenig, wie eine Entscheidung zwischen Podcast- und Youtube-Training für Manager. Wo ist wohl die Zukunft der Management-Fortbildung? Selbst so mancher Professor sucht offensichtlich noch einen Weg, das ideale Managementtarining für Führungskräfte anzubieten. Oder nutzt Prof. Seiwert einfach nur die Chance, die sich bietet? Ich weiß es nicht…
Als ich vor drei Jahren die Bärenstrategie von Prof. Lothar Seiwert gelobt habe, so tat ich dies auf der Basis eines Hörbuches. Inzwischen bietet die Pink University eine neue, einfache Art der Weiterbildung an: mit Kurzvideos ausgesuchter Top-Dozenten… im klassischen Frontaltraining, nicht interaktiv via Skype & Co..
Und auch hier stellt Prof. Seiwert seine Expertise in einem -in diesem Falle sogar kostenfreien- Video mit einem ähnlichen inhaltlichen Thema dar. Persönlich hat mir das Hörbuch selber besser gefallen, aber auch weil Fabeln halt nunmal nicht pink sind und sich beim Hörbuch viel in der Fantasie des Hörers abspielt und mehr zum Sinnieren anregt. Pink ist zudem nicht meine Farbe. Die Art und Layout der von dem Unternehmen selbst produzierten Videos ist Geschmackssache.
Aber seht selbst…
Normalerweise müssen die fachlichen und beruflichen Videos für einen kleinen Betrag einmalig gekauft werden, um dann unbegrenzt, online zur Verfügung. Das Ganze ist on-demand, also grundsätzlich ganz im Trend der Zeit.
Die Leser von TheStrategyWeb einfach auch mal die Gelegenheit, sich selbst von der Qualität der Pink University zu überzeugen. Einen Gutschein von 5€ erhaltet ihr, wenn ihr den Code 13Bfa verwendet. Viel Spaß!
PS: Und teilt bitte eure Meinung hier mit…, denn auch mich interessiert, ob das ein Konzept der Zukunft zur Weiterbildung ist. Danke!

Social Media or/and Website for Lead Generation: What's the key to success?
02.10.2011 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Sales
How often did we hear this question in the last three years? Marketers, sales(wo)men and many C-Level's in the B2B space have asked the question many times in seminars. I am quite happy to have found a study that actually gives some insight in a quite complex business topic.
According to a Demandbase National Marketing and Sales Study in cooperation with Focus, the company corporate website is the top source of new sales leads for consumers. The corporate website still is the primary hub to harness customer interest driven by outbound online marketing activities. However, it is only second to personal connections and referrals. Nevertheless, more than seven times more effective than social media which speaks a clear language, right…? Well, what if referrals lead to websites via Social Media?
Executives see the website as the top online source of sales leads (23%), followed by email (14%), online advertising (7%), and finally… social media (3%). What sounds as a clear message, is more a blur. The most important factor for measuring website effectiveness is the quality of leads generated (34% vs. quantity 9%). However, nearly one-half of executives surveyed do not know where users are most likely to leave their website.
Another interesting thing is that study participants stated that the website still vastly underperforms in terms of lead generation. Although companies think they understand their sales prospects (over 60% respond knowing or understanding their prospects well), driving sales leads is still a big challenge for them. 80% of the respondents said the corporate website is not performing to its maximum lead generation.
Did you ever ask yourself how a consumer found your website? Can a website alone be enough to generate quality sales leads? What is the key to generating more leads from the web? Is it the website only? Well, once your website is ready to attract customers, it needs to get traction.
Often in the last weeks, we came across one of the main effort to get there: content generation. What makes search engines to drive (potential) customers back to your website? Content. And often marketers say: "We have tons of content! Why is no one coming back?" The answers is easy: Content needs some systematic approach, and that can best be achieved with inbound marketing. And that's were Social Media comes into the game. So, the website alone is not the answer to lead generation.
"Social media may be heralded as the silver bullet to bring B2B marketing up to snuff but, despite its increasing influence, it's important to keep in mind that no business sale is made without the buyer going to the corporate website first. Regardless of its origin–social media or e-mail, banners or search–traffic driven from online marketing initiatives always intersects at the website. And, while businesses are investing heavily in their sites, the study shows that they are then ignoring the very audience they worked so hard to attract." Chris Golec, CEO, Demandbase
Spot On!
The study shows that there is a lack of understanding how to optimize and generate new sales leads and demand generation. Analyzing websites and drawing the right conclusions from site performance and the clients' brand journey experience is what needs to be elaborated on. Obviously, many marketers still have "better things to do" or not the time to verify the back-end. Marketers need to understand that their web strategy should be focusing on connecting website experience and the brand journey towards it. This in the future will be mainly driven through inbound activities that could find a catalyst in referals. Companies just need to elaborate on the interconnection between website and Social Media. That's where the answer to lead generation is hidden…
Don't you agree…?
And we will say… These were my Facebook days!
23.09.2011 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Social Media
Facebook is not new? Well, correct… Facebook is complete new! It writes our lives…
I just realized how Facebook ruled my last three days offline and online…
On Tuesday, I was shaking hands with Carolyn Everson, (Vice President, Global Marketing Solutions) after her presentation on stage at the dmexco Conference 2011. Yesterday morning, I enjoyed an espresso with Scott Woods, Commercial Director DACH at Facebook. In the afternoon, I was moderating a panel on engaged consumer advertising strategies. Topic: Facebook. Obviously, Facebook was one of the main topics we discussed…
And then, the evening came with the big announcements. I was on the train watching the announcement of the new Facebook features at the f8 conference. Techcrunch told us how to get into the new Facebook in minutes. However, only the owner can see it until the 30th of September.
And what can I say… Welcome to my Facebook life!
The main three changes for me…
– the massive lead picture – reminded me of a former Myspace design.
– the two frame structure – offers a quicker overview on personal infos, updates, activities.
– the missing picture gallery – enables people to do some personal or company branding with these pictures. Cool!
The main three "Likes" from me…
– The coolest feature is the Timeline. If Google is changing our brain, then Facebook is pre-writing our autobiography.
– People can be creative in terms of the mixture of their conversational ingredients – text, video, audio. This makes a profile colorful and lively, apart from finally understanding that we do not "LIKE" everything – we shop, we act and we like!
– It is much easier to see which updates were uncool and not engaging. Kill them to make your profile look conversational. Aren't we kind of authentic…?
Facebook wants to get away from throwing sparks in our days – it aims for long-term relevancy. It wants to be the ever-lasting spark. Our memory…?! And when we are old, we won't tell our grandchildren stories of the past. We will say… Just read my Facebook days!
Incentivized ads boost brand perception, study finds
20.09.2011 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie Brand, English Content, Featured Stories
According to a recent study by KN Dimestore and SocialVibe brand messages and incentives influences most consumers to pay more attention to ads. In fact, if companies combine these two advertising and brand strategies, the interaction of consumers with brands increases by 91% and brand perception by 38%.
The study -which gathers data from more than 30,000 survey respondents- reported that when 48% of survey participants initially opt-in to engage with a brand for the incentive, they stay and pay attention to the brand message.
The aim of the study was to find out if and why incentives prompt people to engage with the advertisements, how they affect consumer perception of the brands, and if they influence people to visit the company's website or "buzz" their friends about the offer. Respondents gave feedback on ads from U.S. brands across financial services, CPG, entertainment, e-commerce and technology categories between June and July of 2011.
Some key findings of the study…
48% of those interact because of the incentive but pay attention to brand
12% interact purely based on brand
31% interact for brand and incentive
9% interact purely for the incentive
The results summary makes clear that engaging with the ad increased the odds that the consumers would purchase the product. Above that, incentives through ads drive website and in-store traffic, as well as purchases – and also conversions. Happy customers are coming back more often to the website when initially satisfied with an incentive through incentives. 36% of respondents were more likely to purchase brand-related products at physical store after interacting with the ad.
SocialVibe names the strategy "value-exchange brand advertising". The company defines it as ads that ask for a consumer's attention in exchange for something they want, such as virtual currency for social games or making a donation to charity. There is a clear differentiation from sign-up and straight purchase intended offers like cost-per-action (CPA) advertising.
Spot On!
The study is an interesting step in indicating the value of ads for branding. Generating consumer interest and awareness get's more and more challenging these days with the masses of advertising we are faced with on a daily basis. Mobile advertising shows some similar development in terms of incentivization and engagement. Often companies said that the value of ads is getting lower as they just value it from a conversion-based ROI perspective. However, the study now shows that earning points, virtual currency or some other rewards finds the atention of customers. That's when conversion comes into play, and that's where brands need to foster engagement to a purchase via the right communication tactics.
Mobile Study: Retailers focus consumer mobile efforts on stores
16.09.2011 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Mobile
One of the latest research projects "Keeping Up with the Mobile Consumer" by Retail Systems Research (RSR) which was sponsored by Google and SAP Research, states that retailers are eager to engage with consumers via their personal mobile devices, but focus their efforts on driving customers to stores, rather than on mobile commerce. The study offers some orientation and recommendations for successful mobile strategies for retailers (and brands).
The research studied of 83 qualified retailers in the summer of 2011 and divideds the respondents in best performers – Retail Winners – and other performers. It states that 79% ackowledge that a cut and paste version of a full eCommerce site is simply not a viable mobile strategy. It also shows that the "Winners" are somewhat ahead of the market, however it is early days in mobile ecommerce.
For Retail Winners the future of mobile ecommerce is not only an extension of their website to the mobile channel (77% vs. 88% of all others). Most retailers look to outside advertising agencies with mobile experience – 31% to 18% of the Winners.
The best performers take a broader view of what mobile really looks like as it relates to how consumers use mobility, the study suggests. Winners focuse much more on the ability to write once and deploy across multiple mobile platforms than are average and underperformers (73% vs. 35%).
"Overall, 51% of respondents say that their mobile sales will grow significantly in the next 3 years, and another 42% expect at least some growth, if not a significant amount. And while the top mobile channel capabilities for our retail survey respondents include search for merchandise and receive coupons/offers, Retail Winners tell us they are laser-focused on using mobile to help the purchase process," Nikki Baird, Managing Partner, RSR Research
According to the study for the Winner retailers the main challenge is that consumers are using mobile as part of their shopping experience and that they need to be there and they see (92 vs 81 of others). 42% (versus 29%) see significant online traffic from mobile sources which they need to respond to. Even the Winners (38%) admit that mobile technology is evolving too quickly and they cannot keep up with the pace of innovation (48% of others).
"There's going to be a lot of trial and error, and even though not all new endeavors will be successful, it's important to remember that the consumer already wants to use the device she has in her purse; even if a new tactic falls short, she'll be eager to try it, and she'll likely reward you for trying," Steve Rowen, co-author of the report.
Spot On!
Generally speaking, the study shows all retailers are aware of the common and future status of mobile. They recognize the opportunities that mobile devices offer to them, their capabilities, and the shoppers' willingness to use them. However, it is still difficult for them to predict the best retailers understand that "the next big thing".
Study: Mobile ads increase user engagement… these days
14.09.2011 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Mobile
Mobile advertising seems to be the rock-star among banners these days. For marketers it is becoming an essential digital marketing tool for the future due to its ability to achieve an essential audience reach everytime and everywhere.
The latest global MediaMind study "The Comprehensive Guide on How to Leave an Effective Message" suggests to increase engagement levels and pay-per-click rates through the location where the advertisement is displayed, the time when users see it, and the size of the banner seem to be crucial. For the study MediaMind surveyed about 21 billion impressions, from the second quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011.
The study finds that telecom advertising is the second highest vertical for user engagement. It is just surpassed by sports, still ahead of electronics, travel and retail though. This comes as no surprise as the telco spendings are increasing as of the high competition in the market place. In 2011, US Telecom advertisers are expected to spend over $4 billion on online advertising.
However, awareness is high, click activity still lacks engagement. From one million impressions web users would "dwell" on 70,000 adverts but only click on 1,800. The old question reamins: If we could only measure the final impact of banner awareness before people click banners.
The success factors in a telco advertising campaign: timing and location. Seen from a conversion point of view, telco ads achieved the highest conversion rate after the first impression, generating about 5000 conversions every one million impressions. Users were most likely to convert within the first three exposures to commercials, claims the study. And users converted with a higher probability when telcos targeted them with the most effective ads early in the campaign.
"Out of every one million impressions that are served, 70K impressions are Dwelled, and 1,800 impressions are clicked on. Overall, every million impressions generate 5,300 conversions." Study Conclusion
Spot On!
In the future, will the high clickrates from mobile banners stay high (0.6% average CTR compared to usual banners reaching not even 0.1% CTR)? A former MediaMind study has also found that users convert at a much higher frequency when exposed to mobile ads. We will see what the mobile evolution of the user brings. In my eyes, it is still the creative aspect and the first message that goes out to the user that makes the change for a great campaign, followed by an "intelligent creative optimisation" which Gal Trifon, MediaMind General Manager obviously suggests.
PS… At dmexco I will be moderating the panel: "Mobile rocks! Strategies and Challenges in Mobile Advertisment". (21.09.2011, 2.45pm, Congress Hall, Cologne). The keynote will come from Greg Stewart, CEO of the MMA. The panel will focus on opinions and answers from the international mobile market. Which strategies should be implemented to build up a successful communication via the mobile channels and which successful case studies are there? Come and join us!

News Update – Best of the Day

Looking to increase the number of people who access your Facebook apps? A recent MIT study gives three insights marketers should watch out for…
1. Adding a personalized message feature (such as, "Hey! check out my new favorite app") substantially increases adoption (three times more effective per message).
2. Notifications and invites outperform ad campaigns used in their recruitment phase on Facebook. Viral strategies are up to 10 times more effective than banner ads in converting users and around twice as effective as email advertising.
3. If companies and brands are looking to secure the most amount of committed users inside of a campaign app, personalized messages might be the way to go.
The study could be summarized that we are still in a trial-and-error mode in what works, what doesn't work, and "how to improve–instead of choosing one strategy and praying it was better than all of the others".
Finding valueable Augmented Reality apps is a time-consuming effort. Tripwire Magazine has done a trip through the AR world and found 45 (I would say 20) interesting iPhone apps that are worth exploring. My favorite five ones are… Star Walk, Yelp, Golfscape GPS Rangefinder, Theodolite Pro, and the best branded apps Stella Artois – Bar Guide.
Do you know what sharing means? One of the greatest sharing campaign comes from Casa do Zezinho: Share Project. Watch it, spread the idea, and support the campaign, so it can be expanded throughout the countires that could need it…!
Study: CEOs say that marketers lack business credibility
16.06.2011 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Web Marketing
It is a harsh statement. It is a statement that undermines the value of leading marketers in the world. But it comes from their bosses: CEOs.
A majority of CEO's believe that marketers lack business credibility. And it is not only that… Marketers are not the business growth generators they should be and are not focused enough on effectiveness. This is the key findings of a recent report "2011 Global Marketing Effectiveness Program" by Fournaise Marketing Group. The report interviewed over 600 large corporation and SMB CEOs and decision makers in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the US.
Nearly three quarter (73%) of CEOs believe marketers are not able to demonstrate how their cross-channel marketing strategies and campaigns help to increase their organisations' top line in terms of more customer demand, sales, prospects, conversions and market share.
However these findings sound like a slap in the face of marketers, the study makes also clear that vertical metric set-ups are still a challenge for companies. 77% of respondents admitted that they cannot connect EBIT, market valuation or revenues to marketing facts like brand equity, brand values or other marketing ROI metrics.
The study claims that 74% marketers rely too much on the creative element of their job, 'arty' and 'fluffy' thoughts and too much on their ad agencies to come up with the next big idea. I would like to add that very often publishers make up a lot of these ideas but appear to stay in second line to the client. Just a quick hint to CEO's…
In some of my latest projects in the last five years, I have seen marketers asking for many and very detailed reportings. The interesting thing is that 70% of CEOs see marketing data marketers provide is hardly useful, or relate to or mean anything for their company's P&L. Obviously, 69% of marketers say that their campaigns and strategies have an impact on business – but cannot precisely quantify.
"Until marketers start speaking the P&L language of their CEOs and stakeholders, and until they start tracking the business effectiveness of their strategies and campaigns to prove they generate incremental customer demand, they will continue to lack credibility in the eyes of their CEOs and will continue to be seen more as a cost centre than as an asset."
Jerome Fontaine, CEO, Fournaise
Spot On!
For me one of the main interesting topics is that 74% of CEO's find that marketers focus too much on the latest marketing hypes (i.e. social media 74%) without explaining the real value it brings to the business. In order to generate ROI, very often marketers are starting discussions with third parties or agencies about latest trends and then jumping on them immediately without even thinking about the ROI it might bring to the business – instead of focussing on where main revenue streams are coming from.
Now, the funny thing is that probably most of marketers won't comment on these findings, I assume. Although it would help all marketers to start discussing now…
Outlook or flashback? The (mobile) reward advertising model…
15.06.2011 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Mobile
At that day, we were brainstorming opportunities how to engage users in advertising, and how to reward them. Reward them, when they were watching the pre-rolls at our daily (on-demand) three minutes news show, when they were clicking on display ads, when were reading articles that might fit their business needs and then send them personalized advertising… and reward them when paying attention to any forms and activities of sponsored areas.
To be frankly open, the time was not ready for these types of advertising rewards from a user perspective (as well as the ad industry understanding the capabilities). However, we thought about clever loyalty programs and how to let users participate in the revenues we are generating. As we were working in the B2B scenario it was even more difficult to get this into the heads of our users. I remember, we even tested the silicon point reward model and had a personalized point counter on our side for some days. Yes, we were quite ahead of our times…
So, where are we today with the reward advertising model?
Some weeks ago, I met Julian Fourgeaud at Rovio (Angry Birds) when I was speaking at the istrategyconference in Amsterdam. Julian told me all about the opportunities they have with their mobile gaming business. If you think about their reach – Angry Birds just cracked the 200 Mio. downloads barrier- it all makes perfect sense. I was surprised how much time people spend with the game, and how addicted people became during the istrategyconference dinner (just ask my kids…) but wondered how to make a clever advertising model out of it. And I thought if reach is as benefitial as relevance form an advertising point of view. But that is another story…
Today, I was reminded of the old silicon days. I came across a new business model which is called kiip. Their business is quite simple. A code is implemented in a game which is basically an ad. The ad is a reward points model or coupon that shows up in mobile games when people achieve certain high-scores or levels in the game. So, when you beat a level, you might get a coffee from Starbucks or a discount from MINI's merchandising shop. Or you just collect points via their loyalty schemes which motivate you to think about purchasing their latest products.
Here is the video how kiip works…
Kiip: An Introduction from kiip on Vimeo.
Spot On!
There are so many advertising opportunities or loyalty programs (i.e. like Multiply to increase the worth of brand fans) these days that won't be as offensive as the traditional advertising model. HOWEVER, in my eyes there is one thing which needs to happen: Personalization. With silicon those days we saw who was logged in, just like Youtube, Facebook and Twitter do. So, personalized reward advertising ad models should no be a challenge anymore (under given permission). Still, I cannot see any of these rewarding systems really working for now. Or is Facebook Stories heading towards this idea? Groupon, Foursquare and Gowalla could come up with similar ideas if they just collaborate with the guys from kiip. And if credit card providers as well as loyalty card providers would change their strategies and group with these guys, chances would be amazing to make advertising engaging, personal, rewarding and finally efficient for brands. We would get offers in a personalized format, at the right time and in the right environment.
What do you think about reward advertising models? Is this an exiting area to focus on? Do you fear that data privacy (remember this Google spoof commercial…) becomes an issue as usual? Let us know…

Lane Departure Warning uses a camera to detect lane markings on the road. Activated at speeds in excess of 65 km/h, it issues an acoustic warning signal if the vehicle is threatening to stray outside the lane.
Lane Change Assist monitors the area behind the vehicle and the blind spot using radar sensors. At speeds between 30 and 250 km/h, the system alerts the driver of a vehicle in the blind spot or approaching quickly from behind via a visual signal from the exterior mirrors. This enhances comfort and safety, particularly when driving on the motorway. However, Lane Change Assist does not actively intervene in the controlling of the vehicle and can be deactivated at any time.
Surround View supplements the reversing camera with three additional high-resolution cameras – one in the front apron and one in each lower trim of the exterior mirrors. Based on the information supplied by all four cameras, the system generates a virtual bird's eye view of the car and displays it on the PCM screen. This provides additional assistance to the driver when parking and manoeuvring because even low-level obstacles at the front and side of the vehicle can be detected. It is also possible to switch between various camera views to improve visibility, for example at narrow exits.
This parking aid uses an acoustic signal and front/rear displays to alert the driver of any obstacles at the front or rear of the car. Its sensors are neatly concealed in the front and rear aprons. The acoustic signal is supplemented by a visual warning in the centre console display which provides a graphical representation of the vehicle's proximity to obstacles.

|The Age of Desire (2012)
Jennie Fields (born July 25, 1953) is an American novelist. Her fourth novel is The Age of Desire, based on the life of American writer Edith Wharton.
Fields was born in Chicago, Illinois and was raised in Highland Park, Illinois.
Fields earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in creative writing and painting from The University of Illinois and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the Iowa Writers' Workshop.[1][2] Fields had a successful career in advertising, starting as a copywriter in Chicago, and going on to become a creative director at several international advertising agencies in Chicago and New York.[3] Her advertising credits include McDonald's jingles (while at DDB Needham), including "Menu Chant", which was sung by, among others, Carl Giammarese of The Buckinghams,[4] the "We're All Connected" campaign[5][6] for New York Telephone (while at Young & Rubicam), and the Lunesta Moth campaign (while at McCann Erickson) for which she won an Effie award.[7]
Fields now lives in Nashville, TN, where she is a full-time writer.[8]
Fields has published four novels: "Lily Beach"; "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry"; "The Middle Ages"; and "The Age of Desire". Her first novel Lily Beach (Grand Central Publishing 1997), is the story of a young artist in the 1960s, struggling to find her place in a rapidly changing world. "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry", (Harper Collins 1997) is the story of six people who live on the same street in Brooklyn, and what happens to them over the course of a year. Her third novel, "The Middle Ages" (Harper Collins 2002,) tells the story of an architect who only finds the life she's really seeking when she loses her job.
In 2012, Fields published The Age of Desire (Penguin Group, 2012) based on the life of American author Edith Wharton. The novel centers on Wharton's illicit affair with journalist William Morton Fullerton and that affair's effect on both her unstable husband, Edward R. "Teddy" Wharton, and her close friendship with her lifelong friend and confidant, her literary secretary Anna Bahlmann. Until recently, little had been known about Bahlmann but Fields was one of the first[9] to have access to over 100 previously unknown letters from Wharton to Bahlmann[10] that were auctioned in 2009. The letters are now in the collection of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University[11] and form the basis of another 2012 publication, "My Dear Governess: The Letters of Edith Wharton to Anna Bahlmann" by Irene Goldman-Price.
Fields' books have been published in Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

Available for download as a dual-arch Live DVD
Users can download this Debian-based distribution from its official website (see link above) or via Softpedia as a dual-arch Live DVD ISO image of approximately 1.5GB in size, designed to support both 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86_64) computers.
Boot options
When booting the ISO image from the BIOS of a computer, using either a DVD disc or a USB flash drive, the user will be able to start the live environment with default boot options or in failsafe mode, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as well as to boot an existing operating system from the first disk drive.
Clean, simple and very fast graphical desktop environment
MCL sports a clean user interface, by using a desktop layout similar to the Windows 7 operating system, where the end-user can choose between different layouts. Moreover, the Cairo Dock has been replaced by an Xfce plugin that supports application pinning.
Includes both Xfce- and KDE-specific applications
It appears the developer decided to include both Xfce- and KDE-specific applications, among which we can mention the Thunar file manager, Krusader two-pane file manager, LibreOffice office suite, SMPlayer video player, VLC Media Player, Iceweasel web browser, Gwenview image viewer, Pinta image editor, Kompare diff viewer and KWrite advanced text editor.
Bottom line
In conclusion, MCL proves to be a cool and fast distribution of Linux that combines open source applications from various desktop environment with snapshots of Debian Testing. It is suitable for low-end machine or users who want a very fast Linux operating system.

SEATTLE - Although the new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is set to open next week, it still has no director - and Republicans in Congress have vowed not to confirm anyone for the job unless the new agency's budget and powers are cut back.
The agency's would-be director, Elizabeth Warren, was on the congressional hot seat again Thursday, telling a House committee that the new bureau will simplify credit terms and help consumers decide what they can afford.
That kind of assistance would also help prevent future systemwide financial meltdowns, says Melissa Huelsman, a Seattle attorney.
"Absolutely. This is one of the problems: The protections that people thought were there were not really there, or they were gotten around, or they were much weaker than they thought. The systems that were in place at that time were clearly inadequate to prevent what was happening, from happening."
Congressional Republicans are concerned that a pro-consumer agency could also be anti-business, making it tougher for banks and mortgage companies to profit and help grow the economy. They're pushing for a five-member commission to run the new agency, instead of one director.
Some have questioned the need for another federal agency. But Huelsman, whose practice includes predatory-lending cases, says the new bureau would fill a big gap that isn't being addressed.
"It is abundantly clear that the federal regulators, as they exist now, had absolutely no interest in protecting consumers. Even now, you have the Office of Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision, being the front people for the banks. What they have done, even after the financial crisis, is tantamount to nothing."
The feds, says Huelsman, also could learn from the new Foreclosure Fairness Act, a Washington state law that goes into effect July 22. It requires that lenders offer mortgage-holders in default a face-to-face meeting to discuss their options.
