I’m hoping to see advertisers use social media in ways that make sense for them — and their consumers. Marketers’ Super Bowl strategies […]

The Antisocial Bowl
This column was originally published in MediaPost, but due to some editorial snafu there that I don't yet understand, a number of people were left off my list of thanks.

ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski:"Brady, the human grass stain, was sacked five times. And when he wasn’t sacked, he was knocked to the ground. He spent more time on the turf than fertilizer." The New York Times’s Karen Crouse: "He went deep for Moss twice on balls that fell short because Brady was hit as he threw […]
