It’s going to be a jam-packed three days . . .

Pause for a feel-good moment

The once-in-a-thousand years celebration

January 1, 2000

20th Century Wipeouts

• Landlines

It was going to be a great century…after getting the 20th behind us.

The Time Is Now

“We need to reinvent the way we market to consumers”A.G.Lafley, Procter & Gamble CEO Chairman

Lots of Talk. Not much else.

March 26, 2007

The same old wasteful advertising

2009 Forecast: Down 5.1%

2008: $142 billionDown 2.7%

Will they ever learn?

$2 trillion down the drain in the 20th century

Yes!!! TWO TRILLION DOLLARS

And it only gets worse in the 21st century

60% of Print Media Advertising is garbage

No engagement

No brand-building

No Internet connection

See for yourself

A “Nonvertising” Example

…and another … and another … and another

To paraphrase Mark Twain…

“Reports of the death of advertising-as-usual and the reinvention

of marketing have been greatly exaggerated.”

Until now. . .

Say hello to the e-conomy

Solution: Take ‘em by the hand and lead ‘em to a memorable interaction online.

Pouring more money into disruptive and disconnected “Nonvertising”

is a huge miss-take

The New Reality

Millions of us are playing, working,flirting and socializing online and

producing oceans of data . . .
