Some find it ugly beyond repair, others think its usefulness is obsolete—a technology of the past. So called experts ponder philosophical questions such as “Why QR Codes suck so much?”, or take the unbiased view that QR Codes “instantly ruin almost anything they're placed on.” Never in the history of cyber-bullying has a spotty square been so derided. And yet it…

QR Codes have been around for a while now, but their value continues to resonate, and with good reason. It’s all about the QR. So what is QR anyway? QR stands for Quick Response: the prompt way codes react when consumers wave smartphones at them. Living up to their name, they dutifully respond in an instant.

Mobile engagement has become one of the most effective ways to create relevant, long-term connections with customers. Every day, brands, agencies and marketers deploy mobile triggers to inform, entertain—and even surprise their customers. Yet, unless their mobile relationship strategies are driven by a managed platform, they could be delivering the wrong kind of surprises.

Today’s shopper is more empowered – mobile, connected, and informed – than ever before. Digital marketers are simultaneously emboldened by and queasy about the increasing leverage wielded by today’s shopping consumer. With both progressive change (on-line research, social sentiment, mobile search) and disruptive change (real-time price comparison, couponing, conquesting) to deal with, marketers can’t help but feel less in control than desired these days. The reality is that…
