Andy, I'm a consultant working for the Advertising Research Foundation on a new book. I'm embedded there, so close to what is going on. Good to see the engagement thing is getting out there.
I've been asked to informally track what people are thinking about this. Any thoughts? Our plan, as is typical of professional associations, will be to research this. There are a surprising number of the big players in advertising and media behind this (not evident in the PR).
Please feel free to ask your network to comment on the concept of engagement as a potential 'next step' beyond reach and frequency to get to the numerator of the marketing accountability (ROI) equation. Any interesting things going on in the Southwest?
