Constant relentless improvement is always necessary. It is part of Marketing Eye's mandate. When Nina De La Cruz came to me in December with this newish technology platform that showcases viewing a business card and having an individual present what they do at the same time through a popup video, I was suitably impressed.

How often have you received an automated text from your Telcommunications company, when you could have actually done with some personal service? In telecommunications, where SMS, VMS and social media platforms have taken hold of the way we communicate, it seems that some businesses have lost their personal touch. For those with a customer-centric or client focus, a lack of customer service can be highly detrimental.


It goes without saying then, that the most successful businesses are the ones who utilize new communication tools to their advantage, but never forget that the people they serve are just as important as the technology supplied. RD Direct is one such company: a telecommunications business that knows how to communicate.

Happy 2016! As Marketing Eye Atlanta kicks off the New Year, We realize that it is time to expand on our wonderful journey towards greatness! No, but really... Marketing Eye Atlanta is looking for a Graphic Designer to work alongside the amazingly talented Art Director, Brandon Reviere!

Throughout this past year Marketing Eye Atlanta has had some of the most amazing experiences, namely through our fantastic co-workers and inspiring clients. They never cease to amaze us with their insights, perseverance and determination to kick goals straight in the ass. 

When you have travelled the world as much I have, there is one thing that you know is always going to be a given – that hotels are a must.

Now, if you must stay in a hotel, then you usually either looking for your normal comforts or for something different to what you already have at home. Something better, sometimes something just different.

As we close our offices today until the second week of January, I realise that it's time to reflect on our wonderful journey and what we have all learned this year.

We have had the most amazing experiences, namely through our people and clients, who constantly amaze me with their insights, perserverence and determination to kick goals. 

There are a lot things that entrepreneurs do right, and often they are done for the world to see. Yet there are still some things that we don't quite get right. 2016 is going to be a huge year. There is so much in store for us and while we all focus on business, the Government has a few headaches not just with stimulating economic growth, but ISIS and climate change. 

I've recently changed the narrative of my business. It's not something I took lightly. Re-defining what value you provide to the market place can be game-changing, or business destroying. 

If you look at Uber for instance, they could have failed, but yet they succeeded. Is it sustainable? Most probably. Is it worth the market value associated with the business? Not really. Did they not only change their original narrative, but create a new narrative for the entire industry - disruptive in design?

I'm an Australian who prefers to work with American companies.  Why?  Because I learn the most from the American attitude; especially marketers.  Simply, American marketers do it best.

Working for Marketing Eye, a dual Australian-American company, I am spoiled with the resources that both cultures offer in a creative marketing setting, and I’ve had the privilege to work with some outstanding marketers.

How did a slapstick campaign garner the support of the most feared woman in fashion?

By now, the majority of the Western world has seen that video of Anna Wintour being doused in a bucket of iced water. But this was not the handiwork of an anti-fur campaigner.

Wintour’s water attack is part of the viral campaign that netted a charity over $50 million.

I watched Mellissah Smith, Founder and Managing Director of Marketing Eye light a fire.
