The importance of a web division in a company

Since 2007 when Jeffrey Zeldman blogged about “Let there be web divisions“, I have yet to see many companies having a web division today.  It is still  either falling under marketing department or IT department.  In fact, web belongs to neither of them.

Don’t ever ask an Ad Agency to work on your website strategies

Have You Seen This Man?

I believe any company in Singapore really hoped to have the same kind of “marketing exposure” that Mas Salamat Kastari had. His photo is basically everywhere in Singapore.

New Way Of Internet Marketing Should Be Coming Up…
