So, we have a new feature for you. At the beginning of each month, we're going to highlight some of the more active posts from the previous month. It's a great way to join our ever-growing conversation.
Without further ado, here are some of the best January MNblog posts:
We wrote about Brad Bortner, a Forrester principal analyst, who predicted more top brands will use social media as a way to do market research.
There must be a lot of coffee drinkers among you, as you all jumped on this post I wrote about Howard Schultz's return to Starbucks as CEO. Let's see what happens with this one.
2008: The year iTunes died? I knew that headline would get your attention, and it did. A great conversation followed.
Here's a post about calls-to-action in outdoor ads. What calls you to action?
Fellow staffer Elisabeth Sullivan blogged about a cross-promotional TV spot for HP and the new Jumper movie.
We had our first-ever guest blogger, Danielle Ginty, from iDNA, who wrote about marketing in the developing world.
Finally, here's a post I wrote about McDonald's Corp. pulling the plug on a report card promo it did with the Seminole County school system in Florida. You had strong opinions on this one, as it sparked a lively debate.
