The only problem was it stopped working sometime around 1987.” • President GM North America • “Broadcasting an ad on television or in a newspaper is admitting you have no idea who your customers are.” • Gary Loveman, CEO, Harrah’s

In Sum:to drive the brand… • …websites need to be more than a communication channel to customers. they must be a proposition in their own right. • …websites must be an extension of the products and services that a brand provides to its customers. • …marketers must understand that as soon as content becomes digital, customers expect more from it. • …you have to allow for co-creation and create “Prosumers”. • The edge boundaries between content, advertising, and application have gone.
