By Barry Cunningham Destroying Conventional Wisdom

By Barry Cunningham Destroying Conventional Wisdom

Back in the day, Kings had food tasters. The duty of the "taster" was to eat some of the food prepared for the king and if the taster died, then the king would know that he needed to order something different off the menu. Today we call those people focus…

By Barry Cunningham Destroying Conventional Wisdom

WTF Is A Marketing Campaign On Social Media? Seriously. I find myself shaking my head when I hear brands trying to overtly sell shit on social media. Sure, #SocialMedia does have a purpose for allowing you the opportunity to sell, but you have to EARN the right to sell to…

Dinosaurs Are NOT Extinct…They’re Just Hiding In Some Ad Agencies

By Barry Cunningham Destroying Conventional Wisdom

Are Networks Signaling The End Of Commercial Advertising As We Know It

By Barry Cunningham #SocialTV

Sorry about the horrible video above, but I had to move quickly. No time to set up the DSLR & the tripod. Had to stop eating dinner, do a quick smartphone shoot and some quick editing. My message is more important than my production in this instance. Why? Because I…
