When the militants of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh) descended on the Iraqi city of Mosul in June 2014, they didn’t just march into town—they simultaneously launched a Twitter hashtag campaign, #AllEyesonISIS. It was blitzkrieg with a digital marketing strategy. Within hours, images of ISIS barbarity spread throughout the […]

More airport security is on the way to interrupt your travel schedule. Remember to arrive six hours prior to your flight for another ineffective and pointless gesture.
