Well, it was funny to me, anyway.<\/li>\n<li>At some early point at Pop Art, we moved a lot of the SEO responsibility over to editorial. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2008\/07\/seo-and-copywriters\/\">Here&#8217;s why<\/a>.<!--more--><\/li>\n<li>What good will those brand workshops do if your <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2007\/10\/impaling-copy-on-your-brand-pyramid\/\">writing<\/a> doesn&#8217;t reflect it?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2008\/01\/forget-viral-start-a-wildfire\/\">Viral ideas <\/a>need support to get them to pandemic mode and beyond the sniffles. One way to do that is to study how wildfires grow.<\/li>\n<li>I actually had a client say that they wanted to market their small travel agency to everyone. Bad idea. But here&#8217;s a good idea: figure out different elements of your company and let them appeal to different people. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2007\/07\/you-can-t-please-all-the-people-all-the-time-and-here-s-why\/\">Targeting online<\/a> is a great way to do that.<\/li>\n<li>In case you hadn&#8217;t heard, there&#8217;s a recession on. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve learned about <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2009\/01\/managing-during-hard-times-a-first-timer-s-perspective\/\">managing people and balancing work demands during lean times.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>When we set out to re-do the Pop Art site, one concept we considered bringing forward was the people. I did some quick and dirty <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2008\/10\/who-is-pop-art\/\">research<\/a> into our team. Very interesting.<\/li>\n<li>How do you measure creative? <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2007\/06\/measuring-creative\/\">Perceived ad spending<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Call it <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.popart.com\/2008\/01\/cluck-cluck-cluck-who-are-you-afraid-of-ya-big-chicken\/\">the Tiger Effect<\/a>; it says in the face of a dominant force, people play for second place.<\/li>\n<li>When I look back on hiring my most recent intern, Kevin, I&#8217;ll remember the experience not so much for finding him, but for having to say &#8220;no&#8221; to three other insanely qualified people. One continues to work for Babywit.com, and we correspond every so often about interactive marketing.
