Forbes Study: CMOs More Bullish on Social Media than Apps

Forbes Study: CMOs More Bullish on Social Media than Apps

During a recent meeting with Forbes they shared with me a summary of their recent survey of Chief Marketing Officers (embedded below). There are two notable trends here - which Forbes isn't connecting, but I am.

First, social media is seen as the single most promising marketing vehicle amongst all respondents and those who oversee more than $5M in annual spend. Note how social media surpasses other tactics that get a lot of attention - notably mobile applications and search engine marketing.


Second, some 73% of CMOs surveyed oversee PR. I don't have the data, but I imagine this is a new trend. In the past, PR would sit in all kinds of other departments. Now it seems to be more closely aligned with marketing.


Now the Forbes study doesn't say this, but I fundamentally believe that other than placing ads, PR is in the best position to manage a business' social media endeavors. The reason is that engaging in social circles requires an understanding of psychology and also it is an uncontrolled discipline. Both of these play well to the skills of PR practitioners. If I were a CMO controlling $5M in spend with an interest in social media and I oversaw PR, I would connect these dots. I suspect that's what many are doing.

Golden Globes Hits and Misses

Golden Globes Hits and Misses
The 2010 Golden Globes saw its fair share of winners and losers. But what we here at Beauty Banter really care about are the faces (and manes) that graced the rainy red carpet Sunday night.

Here are our picks for hits and misses, 2010...


Cameron Diaz - Are those wrinkles I see cracking around the eyes. Woman, use an eye primer and some cream, stat. I'm sort of over Cameron in bright red lips, I prefer her in a darker burgandy. She looks wet and uncomf, a little messy.. Not her night.


Chloe Sevigny - Tres glams for Ms. Sevigny. I thought she looked stunning. The bun, the mauve smokey eye, the bright lips, the earrings, everything worked. And winning best actress didn't hurt. Favorite quote of the night, "I can't believe he just ripped my dress!"


Drew Barrymore - She's been having a fab year career and look-wise. Last night was no exception. Love the red lip. Love the low chignon. Love her.


Fergie - While I've seen her look worse, I've also seen her look better. Her eyebrows KILL me and the pink lipstick somehow is clashing with the violet dress. I never thought I'd say this but, she may not be wearing enough makeup to do the style justice. Perhaps a thicker liner and a nuder lip would suffice.


Ginnifer Goodwin - Mod just got a makeover. Loving this look on Ginnifer. The hair is phenom and the makeup is very Edie Sedgwick meets Twiggy. Great extended liner with pale, frosty lips. Total '60's throwback.


January Jones - The satin headband is worn way too close to her forehead - that's not the look, woman! Like the red lips, she's got great brows, not loving the poofy shoulder action going on, it's a bit too jarring with the dark liner and dark lips.


Kate Hudson - The 'do reminds me of a Donald Trump combover -- not that I'm mad at it but I definitely prefer her with a flowing mane. The makeup is pretty but nothing is WOWing me. It's all a little frosty.


Lea Michele - She seems as cute and bubbly as her Glee character. I would've opted for a loser 'do but I love the makeup - dark eyes, nude lips never fail.


Maggie Gyllenhaal - Her makeup's aiiight but that hair 'do is hideous. It actually looks painful how tightly it's pulled back.


Mariah Carey - I swear I wore my hair like that back in the 3rd grade. Not cute on a 30-something year-old. At least her decolletage is sparkling. P.S. Hold off on that hot pink blush, boo.


Olivia Wilde - Can someone say brunette Barbie? Everything just seems SO perfectly done... too done, like a doll. That hair is Oscar hair, not Globe hair. It's like it's glued to the base. Makeup is very glam, especially those bedroom lashes.


Penelope Cruz - Love the look, loathe the tan. She's so gorge, why did she have to go out and orange herself? The Old Hollywood glam flip hair is fab though.


Sandra Bullock - Loving the eye makeup. Great use of shimmering white at the inner corners of eyes. Love this trend. Hair is cute but kind of seems like the rain got the better half of it. I realize it's the style but I'm just saying... I'd have gone with something more sophisticated.


Zoe Saldana - She looks like she's going to a high school dance. Too teen. She's gorgeous without a doubt but this is stale. I wish she chose a pop of color, took a chance on a bright lippy or an updo.


Who do YOU think gave great face?

Adegan Vulgar Film Suster Keramas

Adegan Vulgar Film Suster Keramas
Produksi film Indonesia rasanya tidak sempurna tanpa adanya kontroversi. Penyebab utama sebuah film menimbulkan kontroversi di masyarakat pada umumnya karena dalam film tersebut disinyalir terdapat adegan vulgar atau porno . Nah kali ini film produksi Maxima picture garapan sutradara Helfi Kardit merupakan film yang paling menuai kontroversi belakangan ini, mulai dari dicekalnya bakal bintang dalam film tersebut Maria Ozawa sampai pada penayangannya. Gagalnya Maria Ozawa membintangi film suster keramas ini tak menyurutkan keinginan sang produser untuk memprduksi film ini, dengan mengambil tindakan mengganti Maria dengan bintang porno jepang lainnya yakni Rin Sakuragi. Jika dilihat dari trailer film tersebut, memang selayaknya film Suster Keramas ini tidak ditayangkan di bioskop Indonesia, pasalnya adegan-adegan yang terdapat didalamnya terlihat sangat vulgar dan mengandung unsur pornografi. Akting telanjang alias bugil oleh Rin Sakuragi membuat film ini layak untuk tidak ditayangkan.
Download film Suster Keramas coming soon.

Style Verdict: Venus Williams in VISIBLE Flesh Colored Undies..

Style Verdict: Venus Williams in VISIBLE Flesh Colored Undies..


First off, I'm one of the first to stan for the Williams sisters. Both Venus and Serena are both massively accomplished in tennis and that's something to be proud of. That being said, the pair of flesh colored underwear that Venus decided to wear recently to the Australian Open are questionable. Wait. You know what? No they're not. They're in your face BRAZEN. I mean it looks like you can see her entire backfield! Does she think this is funny? Is she thumbing her nose at someone? Does she get a kick out of making people think they can see her bum?

Via the New York Daily News: No, Venus Williams has not gone commando, but you can't blame tennis fans for doing a double take every time her skimpy bright yellow outfit flares up. The 29-year-old tennis powerhouse has taken to wearing flesh-colored shorts at the Australian Open that nearly match the color of her skin.

The illusion has caused some fans to speculate that she's not wearing any panties and drawn catcalls from the audience. "Please put on some decent panties. I do not watch tennis to see your exposed buttocks!" wrote one fan on her Web site, venuswilliams.com.

So of course I wanna know what you guys think about all this. Do you love it? Hate it? Don't care? Would YOU do something like this? I wanna know your style verdict.
