Research: online ads efficiency, influence of purchase intentMitya Voskresensky
Online video ads were once much more effective at increasing brand awareness than other formats, but this advantage has diminished over time. However, online video still drives purchase intent more than rich media or simple flash ads. While awareness for video has declined as its novelty wears off, purchase intent from video ads continues to rise. Custom video ads targeted towards specific audiences can be even more effective at influencing purchasing decisions compared to repurposed television ads.
Impact of Consumer Broadband on Internet InfrastructureSteve Keifer
The document discusses how consumer broadband has impacted internet infrastructure. It has allowed more users to have "always on" high-speed connections. This has implications for product managers, IT managers, and retailers. For product managers, their websites now see sustained traffic rather than just peaks, requiring optimization. IT managers must support remote access and telecommuting over broadband. Retailers face more competition as users can now easily search and compare prices. All must ensure their infrastructure can handle the increased traffic and demands of broadband users.
This document discusses the benefits of using Common Short Codes (CSCs) for mobile marketing and outreach.

Online Video Collaboration for Manufacturing Industry - Summary ReportAbhizar Bootwala
Large companies with project teams spread over several countries and multiple time zones are increasingly turning to videoconferencing to connect geographically dispersed groups. Companies are realizing that flying employees from one location to the next not only chalks up travel costs, but also decreases productivity and leads to team exhaustion.
Of course, videoconferencing isn’t a complete replacement for face-to-face meetings. Companies that are leading the way in videoconferencing report those periodic in-person visits are still necessary and they caution that videoconferencing is most effective if team members already have an existing relationship. There’s no doubt personal videoconferencing tools can enhance remote employees’ communication and productivity. Video ties together disparate and often isolated workers by letting physical, visual nuances shine through.
