Center and serve your target; ignore the rest
Great art is either loved or hated. The one reaction artists cannot abide is indifference. Great marketing, while certainly not as pure of heart as anything hanging in the Louvre or performed by the American Ballet Theater, is no different. Great campaigns will have passionate advocates and vociferous detractors. The goal is not to be […]
Extend the usefulness of your marketing strategy
Any good relationship with a marketing firm should start with the agency taking a deep dive into your business. That’s how an agency gets a sense of who you are, why you exist, and how you operate, which is an essential foundation for their strategic thinking. If you hadn’t previously seen the value in this […]
How to Survive Trade Show Season, Part One
It’s the beginning of a new year. Time to set a fresh round of quarterly goals, fine-tune your branding, and finally put that new internal strategy into place. Oh, and it’s also trade show season. And with that comes the trade show hangover. Remember the last time you attended CES in Las Vegas, or that […]
Make Your Busiest Season High-Powered
We’ve enjoyed our summer vacations, gotten the kids back to school, and settled back into a familiar work routine. It’s time for what many businesses consider their busy season: the fall, winter, and spring months when we execute on our quarterly goals, fine-tune our annual plans, and assess our progress in the new year.

Conquering Chaos Through Communication and Discipline
The dawn of each new year always brings with it unforeseen challenges, opportunities, and questions. But with uncertainty also comes another feeling: anxiety triggered by chaos. When we originally wrote this blog post, it was early 2017 and the country—and, to a large extent, the world—was recovering from a chaotic U.S. presidential election cycle that […]
A Thought on Prime Day: "Stuff" Still Wins Out
Consider this: Roughly one out of every three U.S. dollars spent on Cyber Monday is spent on Amazon.com. So when the mid-summer, Amazon-created version thereof was just reported to have been the retailer’s biggest sales day ever…well, even detractors have to give credit where credit is due. An event that started off on a bad […]
The Car as a Service: Why Renting, Not Owning, is the New Frontier
When the Smart Car first appeared in the US in 2008, it raised some questions, perhaps the biggest being: would Americans used to trucks, sports cars, and open highways drive such tiny vehicles? While European drivers had been using Smart Cars for years, the driving conditions in Europe—congested cities, high fuel costs, and relative proximity—are […]
Using marketing technology vs. being used by marketing technology
This week some of the most influential people in creative media, marketing, and advertising are all gathered together in one spot—Cannes—for the annual Cannes Lions festival. And just like every year, luminaries in the marketing and design fields share insights they’ve learned while working with brands large and small. We’ve been keeping an eye on […]
I joined Dave Donars, Chief Research Officer at Cardwell Beach, to discuss whether the legendary Volkswagen brand can recover from its self-inflicted injuries after a major emissions cheating scandal. The short answer: it doesn’t look good, but there may be some light ahead in the proverbial tunnel. Take a listen to hear the second part […]

I sat down with Brian Erickson, Cardwell Beach Chief Marketing Officer, to talk about the luxury market, a world where some of the normal and tried-and-true rules of retail don’t apply. Take a listen for insights into the way we see the global luxury market both recovering and changing in the year to come.

Is Adversity the Business Model of the Future?
Traditionally, American culture has aspired towards the finer things in life, leisure time and luxury goods among them. But increasingly, basking in luxury is no longer top priority for a growing class of consumers. These happiness hunters are looking away from consumer goods and towards a less quantifiable asset: a sense of accomplishment from overcoming […]
Companies Are The New Bloggers
Here at Cardwell Beach, we love user experience design. There’s a lot you can learn simply from reading the insights that UX designers gather, whether or not you’re designing a website or a mobile interface. (For example, good UX design emphasizes the essential business principle of putting the customer first.) But we’ve also noticed something […]
It’s the challenge that has riveted the business world: Apple has vowed to refuse the FBI’s requests to unlock an iPhone used by a perpetrator of a mass shooting on the grounds that doing so would endanger the privacy of all their iPhone customers. I sat down with Matt Hansen to talk over the implications […]
The Minification of Snack Foods: When Too Big Leads to Too Small
Portions have been a hang-up of eaters worldwide since the days of fairy tales, as many a kindergartner knows. In case you’ve forgotten, Goldilocks wanders into the Three Bears’ house and tests their porridge. One is “too hot”, one “too cold”, but the third is “just right.” Today, this same idea is actually used in […]
