DSE 2013 Impressions March 3, 2013 by Super User I try to write a daily set of impressions from my time at DSE each year, and my first impression is that I was way too freakin’ busy to write up my impressions. I think I was in the press room twice on Day 1 and once on Day 2. So, back at the bait …
Video: Simple, Effective Sponsor Messaging March 2, 2013 by Super User One of the things we did at the DSE mixer earlier this week was run promo/branding videos for all the sponsors. It was, we thought, more effective than trying to SHOUT OVER THE CROWD to thank the sponsors verbally. Saw that at another cocktail party. Doesn’t work. People keep talking.
