Marketing has changed. We're in the age of one-to-one marketing, where the customer actually has a role in shaping the messaging for your brand.

How Jane Fonda Became the Face of the Aging Adult Social Media World

3 September 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »

Over the past year I was introduced to Jane Fonda and have become known as her "tech guy" (a funny term she referred to me as on NBC's Today Show). In truth, I am a part of a trio that included my blogging wife, who gave a 71-year-old Jane Fonda a really great rationale at our first breakfast together as to why she should be using social media and by the end her lightbulb went off. That relationship continues today and I'm proud to say that Jane has not only become one of our agency's first clients when we opened for business but also a great friend and mentor to me and my family.

As the architect of her overall digital strategy, I helped her get her blog JaneFonda.com up, and counsel her on a daily basis on how to engage and grow her following through tools like Twitter, »

Socially Networked Content: Why TV & Film Need Social Media

2 September 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »

A lot has been said about radio 3.0 and TV 3.0, but what does it all mean?

Some like my friend Jeff Pulver are calling this period of convergence Now Media (Old Media + New Media = Now Media). Essentially the fusion of both old media and new media and thus the creation of a new media channel.

What does the experience of watching TV, listening to the radio, and movie-going look like when you add social media and mobile? How will producers, writers, programmers and even the creative community adjust to meet and satiate an appetite that says "I want it now, I want it here, I want it on my terms and I want to be able to tell my friends how good this show/movie/program is?"

Last year my new friends at Networked Insights released a study "Measuring The Social" that proves some interesting trends. For decades, we've relied on »

Finding Your Social Media Curators: 11 People Who Could Make Your Twitter Experience More Interesting

1 September 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »

One of the most redeeming qualities of the social media landscape revolves around the unique ability microblogging (eg. Twitter, Facebook status updates, Blog comments) offers in the creation of "Thought Viruses." Everyone knows you can't really "create" a "thought virus" however there are people in the social Web who gracefully dance the waltz of maven and connector into what I call "Thought DJ's." These individuals are the uber-talented social media curators who skillfully bring the proper mix of humor, wit, intelligence and interesting "tinyurls" and create an environment of heavily anticipated tweets. Much like an influential music DJ who "breaks" and "discovers" new music today's "Thought DJ" delivers news, information, insights and even concepts to us with a freshness that is reminiscent of the day we used to buy 45's at the local record store.

On a weekend when some of today's biggest R&B stars collided with the genre's legendary singers to celebrate the 15th annual Essence Music Festival, one common topic was consistent throughout the events: of course, Michael Jackson.

The three-day event, which celebrates African-American culture in the heart of New Orleans with a series of workshops and music showcases, boasted a lineup that included Ne-Yo, John Legend, Robin Thicke and Beyoncé, along with veterans such as Lionel Richie (who reunited with the Commodores), Anita Baker and Frankie Beverly and Maze, all of whom paid homage to Jackson.

The festival kicked off on Friday evening with a video tribute of Jackson as a live band played a number of his hits against a 20-foot backdrop of the fallen star. »

The 10 Hottest Women in Sports Movies

27 May 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

When we got got word that Bleacher Report posted a "20 Hottest Sports Movie Babes" list, our first thought was, "Wait, are there really 20 movies about female athletes?" Alas, no.

Bleacher Report's list definitely includes some sports-playing actresses/characters, but at least half of it is comprised of women whose role was to seduce male athletes from the sidelines. So, we decided to make our own "10 Hottest Sports Movie Babes" list. At the very least our list includes women in their uniforms. Bleacher Report only included uniform pictures if the women were in bikinis.

10) Tami Maida (Helen Hunt), Quarterback Princess: "What bothers you? That I'm a lady or that I'm a quarterback?"

9) Anne Marie Chadwick (Kate Bosworth), Blue Crush: "I want a girl to be on the cover of Surf magazine. It would be great if that girl were me, but any girl would do."

8) Sara (Julie Stiles), Save the Last Dance: "That's Ok, »
