With mobile it’s personal – marketers must respect customer information

The 3 P’s of mobile (and social) advertising from Jonathan MacDonald

In this week’s Campaign, there is a quote that could not go unreported.  As part of the Economist’s advertorial on inspiration, they interviewed Will Collin (left) who is a founding partner of Naked Communications about “inspiration”.
In the Q&A that followed, he was asked “what idea should we be taking more seriously”.
In his response (copied below) he singles [...]
