Half of the AdNerds went into a duel with DM (on paper) specialist Henny Van Gerwen from Proximity BBDO (our mother organisation). Valuable lessons from Henny's old time favorite Vögele and AdNerds' insights on social and new media are the perfect match for creating breakthrough response-generating actions that work both on- and off the line. A perfect story for Adobe Belgium's "Cross Media Marketing" seminar.

7. Direct marketing is ...
a sub-discipline and type of marketing. There are two main
definitional characteristics which distinguish it from other
types of marketing. The first is that it attempts to 1) send its
messages directly to consumers, without the use of
intervening media. This involves commercial communication
(direct mail, e-mail, telemarketing) with consumers or
businesses, usually unsolicited. The second characteristic is
that it is 2) focused on driving a specific "call-to-action".
This aspect of direct marketing involves an emphasis on
trackable, measurable positive (but not negative) responses
from consumers (known simply as "response" in the industry)
regardless of medium.

13. “In contrast to interactions that are largely
sequential, face-to-face interaction makes it
possible for two people to be sending and
delivering messages simultaneously.
The cycle of interruption, feed-back and
repair possible in face-to-face interaction is
so quick that it is virtually instantaneous.
As (sociologist Erving) Goffman notes, “a
speaker can see how others are responding
to his message even before it is done and
alter it midstream to elicit a difference
response”.
Nitin Nohria, extract from “Face-to-face: Making Network Organizations Work”
