Should campaigns be media-driven or idea-driven?
Lately, it feels like the media tail is wagging the campaign dog. Many campaigns are built around a media platform, as if the media platform alone was the big idea. Most of the Foursquare campaigns I see feel like that.
Sometimes marketers forget that media platforms are enablers to big ideas. They aren’t the big ideas themselves.
