When a consumer becomes the agency’s customer
This Monday marks the official launch of a unique effort, led by The Buddy Group, to change the way healthy food is marketed.
We need your help.
We want to show that whole food can be just as cool, sexy and desirable as junk food if marketed the right way. Aka, let’s stop trying to educate people on why they should eat real food and instead make them want real food because of its inherent coolness!
It only takes a minute. Please share, give support or otherwise help raise awareness of this crowd funding initiative.
Visit http://www.bitetastefully.com/ for more information.

Hang w/ Updates Facebook Live Streaming
streaming app Hang w/ has improved its integration with Facebook by adding new features and an in-line video player.
This isn’t surprising with the hype around streaming apps like Meerkat in recent times.
The new updates mean that you can stream videos live to viewers while they are being filmed and they will be available immediately for playback on Facebook when the stream has stopped. It’s not necessary for people to have the Hang w/ app to view the videos either.
B2B: Content Marketing 3x more effective

OUTCOME: You will get your Content Strategy budgets approved (or, you may be escorted out for an early lunch)

Meerkat has a lot to learn from Hang w/, the godfather of the live-streaming app world
I have watched Hang w/ Andrew and Dave (founders) patiently grow their user base to 2 mil. With the overnight attention to Meerkat it is nice to see a nod in their direction.
This is a REALLY big deal: Real Measurement of TV Ad Views | Adweek
Google is testing the ability to measure how many TVs actually showed an ad. Photo: Google Fiber
Want to know exactly how many people saw your ad on TV? Want dynamic insertion? The answer has long been “tough luck.” But now it’s possible … in Kansas City.
Adweek has learned that Google will be rolling out a TV ad-tracking system similar to the technology used to measure ad views online, giving the company a more accurate idea of how many people are watching the ad inventory it sells in Kansas City than traditional panel measurement ever could.
