That line almost always guarantees traffic, donnit. Seems that Cash4Gold.com has taken issue with the Consumerist‘s reporting on the company. (Yes, the same company with Hammer in the Super Bowl spot.) The history of the story is a long but compelling read that you can check out for yourself.

Press Army promete simplificar o monitoramento das marcas nas mídias sociais

Press Army

Acabar com pelo menos metade do trabalho das agências especializadas em mídias sociais. Essa é a proposta da ferramenta Press Army, lançada hoje pela agência japonesa Ultra Super New.

Atuando como uma plataforma de monitoramento de tudo quanto é site (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, blogs, etc), o Press Army quer ajudar grandes marcas a capturar uma percepção comum em torno da empresa na internet.

Monitoramento de marcas e opiniões nas mídias sociais foi quase sempre um trabalho braçal, mas a ferramenta japonesa automatiza os resultados através de quantidade de menções, relevância e alcance.

Eu não testei o serviço para saber se funciona como deveria, mas empresas interessadas podem pedir uma demonstração através do formulário de contato do Press Army. De qualquer forma, parece uma boa tentativa de tornar mais simples e dinâmico um relatório crucial para as marcas nos dias de hoje. Ah, e não custa lembrar, o acesso é pago.

Future Consumer will be Digital Focused

Como eu havia prometido no Twitter, trago aqui pra vcs o gráfico que foi apresentado pela Maria Mandel, sócia e diretora executiva de inovação digital da Ogilvy One, EUA, durante sua palestra sobre “vídeos online“, neste primeiro dia de ProXXIma. Na minha opinião, este gráfico é um dos mais catequistas e conclusivos entre todos os demais gráficos que pipocam por aí tentando defender as mídias digitais.

De acordo com dados da Carat, de 2008, as plataformas digitais serão responsáveis por 66% do uso de mídia em 2010, um total que se eleva para 80% até 2020. Se espera que a internet cresça cada vez mais proeminente durante este período.

Bom, então está aí pra você evangelizar mais um pouco seu cliente (se é que ainda precisa :) ).
