Understanding the Digital Performance Funnel

sinotechian — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:36:42 +0000

Most marketers are familiar with the concept of the “purchase funnel,” and many online marketers plan and execute their campaigns with it in mind. However, I would argue that most would go with their first instinct to buy media on some sites for their ability to generate awareness and reach new customers. A smaller group of marketers may also consider buying media for ads to drive an action.

Maybe I will when I move to capital area...

Now he has a company of his own called Intosome - keep an eye on him :).

The Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship hosted an event today ambitiously titled, “Good Morning 2019,” that plays on their 10 year anniversary by investigating what the world will be like in the next 10. Arctic Startup readers will be most interested in the presentation by Li Gong, CEO of Mozilla in China. Dr. Gong started his presentation by saying that he lives a bi-coastal life, splitting time between Beijing and Palo Alto. Then he said he had some stories to tell, that he hoped wouldn’t be too scary.

ArcticStartup — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:00:51 +0000

The common picture we have of wind turbines are the ones which stand on tubular towers and have three rotor blades, varying in different sizes. The design is very much similar to the windmills of old, which were used to pump water and grind grain. However, Risto Joutsiniemi had already developed another kind of wind turbine over two decades ago – the Windside vertical wind turbine.

Hitlantis Looking To Enable Better Content Discovery

ArcticStartup — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:27:21 +0000

Reporting from the second day of MoneyTalks, being held here in Otaniemi, Espoo, Finland I bumbed into a new innovative music startup called Hitlantis. I talked to one of the co-founders Timo Poijärvi about the concept and what they are doing. Poijärvi has worked in the music industry and with some startups before, but has a strong experience from the ways the music industry works. This showed up in our talks and he openly questioned the need of Teosto (Finnish Composers’ Copyright Society) and record labels for musicians.
