A $5 million PR and advertising campaign for New Orleans intended to let tourists know that the city is still a hot vacation destination has failed miserably causing the campaign to be pulled and ultimately reworked.

Tonight I have decided to rant about a topic that has been irking me for months: Why are ‘SEO companies’ investing in Pay-Per-Click (PPC) programs to gain exposure in search engines?

Korean Air has teamed up with Tourism Australia for an innovative, refreshing, nature-infused advertising campaign intended to coin Australia as the premier travel destination for younger Koreans.

Social Media marketing is a very tricky business, and often times I see beginner companies/individuals claim to be ‘professionals’ but in fact they’re relatively new to the game. Being new isn’t bad, but when incorrect information is suggested to clients and this information ultimately affects the livelihood of the client’s business, that’s when I have an issue. It bugs me like a thorn in the behind (not that I’ve had one, I just like the saying).
