One of the sweetest products I’ve seen in a while

A friend of mine, Nick Camillo (@alittlebitweird) spotted this one today: the Cap-sacâ„¢. It’s a fannypack…that you wear on your head. You can now officially store your pogs, slammers, Magic The Gathering cards and Trolls right in the comfort of your own hat.

The site is about as retro-fabulous as you can get. Cap-sacs cost $12.99 but I’m sure that’s severely under-priced considering the amount of awesomeness that is gained from this cap simply can’t have a price attached to it.

Check out their site here.

Marketing In 2024: AdBlocking

Fields of solar panels fuel our nations homes and buildings, cars are purely electric and governed by an artificial intelligence that has eliminated traffic jams and enabled vehicles to travel at speeds greater than 300 mph for hours. Humans have begun interfacing with machines and can surf the web from the comfort of their own contact lens.

However, one things missing from a world that has everything - advertising. At least not as we know it today in 2009. In the next 15 years, it is possible that traditional display advertising will be rendered ineffective as a marketing tactic.

Marketing as a value added Product

Every day, someone has a great idea for some new web-based application or service. Be it mobile, social, or out-of-home — odds are that it didn’t happen because someone didn’t have the ambition (or funding…or time) to see that idea through to fruition. That idea was a service, a product, that fulfilled a specific need. Interactive agencies are in a unique place — they can make products and services that fulfill those needs.

A Crash Course In Social Media [Presentation and Links]

Last night, myself along with Dave Iannone (@ravin_dave) gave a talk to the CT Press Club on how to build your personal brand in the online space using social media. Furthermore, as a writer, we touched on how can you leverage your following to create opportunities for yourself and your career.

Dave and I both work at Colangelo Syergy Marketing on a few accounts together and had an excellent time imparting some knowledge on this eager-to-learn crowd.

The Slideshare presentation can be viewed and downloaded below. I have also put together a large list of links that dive deeper into the topics we toplined.
