Some thoughts on Nokia playing open in advertising and platform

The advertising space is such a heartbreaker, right? Staying on top of where your consumer sits is an eternal battle of researching demographics and trying to plug into the yoof sub-culture. Pulse-checking is a constant churn of fast moves based on changing consumer tastes. In same way as email marketing can be an effective [...]
