| | | | | | | 'The Next Big Thing' vs. 'The Laws of Physics' - How Samsung won me over | | 06 March 2013, 12:04PM |  I had the luxury of a long break in December during which I went to a friend's wedding in the Himalayan foothills.
When distracted by the stunning scenery, a light fingered passerby made away with my unattended purse.

| | | | | | | How to make real-time creativity count | | 06 March 2013, 10:00AM |  The Super Bowl, the Brit Awards and the Oscars have acted as honeypots for brands seeking to ride the real-time zeitgeist in recent weeks.

| | | | Targeting ads to consumers using new mobile phones | | 05 March 2013, 2:28PM |  If your business is selling mobile-related products (ringtones, games, apps, accessories and so on), you probably want to reach consumers when they've just bought a new mobile phone. They'll still be excited about what it can do, and are more willing to try new stuff.
