The Best Commercials of the Not-So-Super Bowl

Much like the game itself, this year's Super Bowl ads were.. lackluster, to say the least. Whereas years past have given us gems such as "1984", "The Force" and "the beloved" (or not so much) E*Trade Babies, this year's advertisers left little to take our mind off the Seahawks public shaming of Peyton Manning (not counting the Budweiser puppy, obviously.) Though the in-game spots may have left something to be desired, to say this year's advertisers were lacking in creativity would be patently false. Much like winning a Super Bowl goes far beyond the players on the field, the stars…

Ad of the Week: The year of YOU

This commercial is by far the front-runner of the year for me (granted Super Bowl is two weeks away, but that's here nor there). As marketing continues to evolve, TurboTax kills it by applying an emotional/personal message to this campaign directly targeted at the young demographic. (We kind of dig that stuff.) We are the people that maybe aren't sure how to handle all the new items added to our lives since we left college and the parent's nest. TurboTax does a great job of addressing all the little (or big) things that you should account for on your taxes.…

Ad of the Week: ‘Tis the Season for Giving

Christmas is easily the best time of the year. But there are parts of it that can be annoying, particularly traveling - particularly airports. How cool would it be if someone just made your travels a little less annoying? How about putting in a personal request to Santa Clause himself with all your Christmas wishes? Ok, now what if your Christmas wishes came true in less than the time it took for you to land at your destination? Well, it happened. WestJet airlines started this holiday trend last year with a Christmas flash mob complete with snow showering snowmen and…

Five Ways to Improve Relationship Marketing

The world is shrinking. People are more connected than ever through Internet and mobile technology, and one-way marketing messages are hitting brick walls. Your customers expect to be part of the marketing conversation. They don't want to be sold, they want to be invited to do business with your company in the same way that people invite a new friend out for coffee. They want more than a one-time offer - they want a long-term relationship. Below are five ways to improve relationship marketing. It's not really so hard. Think of building business relationships in the same way as you…

Ad of the Week: Life, Death and Pre-Roll

We're going to start this blog entry with a heavy dose of honesty. We all hate pre-roll videos. I do. You do. Your grandma does. Besides ingrown hairs and hangnails, I'm relatively certain nothing in life is more annoying than being forced to sit through 15-30 seconds of nonsense, just to watch the two minutes of nonsense my heart was originally set on. And depending on which source you hold true to heart, upwards of 94% of YouTube viewers feel the same, electing to skip pre-roll ads for this very reason. Instead of avoiding the medium altogether, or dancing around…

Insta-advertsing?

One of the most popular photo sharing apps out there is now opening up advertising on its platform. This is due largely to Facebook, which acquired Instagram in April of 2012 for a smooth $1 billion, and also the immense popularity of the app. According to the Pew Research Center, about 1 in 5 Americans have this app on their phone. This is pretty amazing considering it has only been out in the world for just over three years. This could essentially be a huge cash cow not only for Instagram but for advertisers as well, depending on their target…

Another Apple Announcement – Should We Be Excited?

Apple held its iPad-centric event in San Francisco on Tuesday, about six weeks after its Cupertino iPhone event. The event announced a bevy of products, including new iPads, MacBook Pros, Macs, and more. The largest announcement was probably that of the iPad Air. The physical refinements, though not entirely surprising, were still quite impressive. It's thinner, lighter and mimics the design form of the iPad mini with thinner side bezels and a similar back casing. I won't get entirely geek on you, but the 64-bit A7 processor, which just launched in the iPhone 5s (along with the M7 motion processor),…

Take a fresh look at us!

Today is a big day for us. We launched the new HenkinSchultz website and we couldn't be prouder. Sure, it's bold. Yes, it's beautiful. Of course, the interface is user-friendly.
