StarKist, which was recently acquired by Korean food mogul Dongwon, is pouring $9-million into a new ‘Think Tuna’ marketing campaign that highlights the benefits of tuna and slings Charlie the Tuna back into stardom. With the economy still at a low, an increasing amount of consumers are purchasing canned tuna, so this marketing campaign truly hits the spot.

Web marketing has become an integral part of marketing any business, and the days of old school postcards, costly television commercials, and semi-effective print advertisements are out the window.

Last night I was bored at home and decided to take a quick 5-minute drive to Century City and snap some photos of the cool scenery. I was accompanied by my good friend and colleague Josh Cho, who’s a seasoned photographer and photography teacher. I’ve known Josh for over 10 years and love the guy.

If you are located in Los Angeles and have a business you’re looking to take to the next level, internet marketing is truly the way to go.

I have been attending the event for the past 5 years or so, and have to admit this year (2009) was better than any in the past. More vendors, larger/cooler location, and gorgeous view of the mountains.

A few days ago the weather here in Los Angeles finally letup, the heat subsided, and I crawled out of my air conditioned hole. I decided to take a quick drive to Santa Monica Pier and snap some night photos with a friend of mine. I’m so glad I did!

I don’t know about you, but I just can’t stand all of the false real estate advertisements I see all over the net; they really annoy me. As a customer, misleading ads that are intended to draw visitors to a real estate broker’s site are a big turn-off. Providing factual, accurate information is the one and only way to attract qualified visitors and maintain a decent online image.

Here are a few photos from a press conference that I had attended on Friday, September 18th.
