Notes from OMMA

I’m at OMMA East, in a gloriously sparkling September sun. I heard Steve Rubel, of Cooper Katz PR, say “I don’t read Ad Age anymore, I read Steve Hall’s Adrants.” And I heard Wenda Harris Millard Chief Sales Officer of Yahoo say:

If you look at the rise of the blogs, at first it sounded like a horror movie then it turns out to be a really phenomenal expression of self. It is a phenomena that marketers really need to understand and wrestle with.”

And floating randomly in the crowd, someone said in all seriousness, “I invented the community space, you know Friendster, Myspace, that stuff.”
