The Hauser/Burns Report

As the world of advertising changes, questions existing organizational frameworks and embraces Web 2.0, we are moving toward strategies based on meaningful and relevant brand experiences designed to viscerally connect with customers. Erik has coined the phrase "Acquisition Through Experience". Designing a holistic, experiential purchasing influencer is key to marketing success in the current climate. Neal, on the other hand (being wiser ­ and yes, a bit older) continues to believe in the importance of brand, telling stories and utilizing the interactive character of Web 2.0.

The Hauser/Burns Report addresses all forms of advertising, marketing, selling - experiential in particular, and dissects issues currently facing those of us who are passionate about the field. We are keeping our eyes and thoughts firmly focused on the future so we can help anticipate the winds of change and bring them to your attention for discussion. We encourage your comments and look forward to hearing from you often! Don¹t make us ask twice.
