A note from Managing Editor
Welcome to the second volume of The SoDA Report: 2012. In this edition, youll find content from some of the most influential thinkers in the digital marketing worldincluding industry leaders from North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia. We continue to explore our industrys transformation based on the evolving needs of the consumer, as well as through the lens of those industry leaders who are shaping the cultures, products and strategies of both agencies and brands.
If youre reading the tablet edition, youll find that weve also added a number of new features, including interactive infographics, social plug-ins, pan & zoom photography and bookmarking that will enhance how you consume and share the content with your industry peers.
In this editions Industry Insider section, youll find an infographic created by new SoDA member company JESS3. The infographic illustrates the issues identified as most critical / top-of-mind by SoDA members in shaping the success of their businesses thus far in 2012. The issues cut across a wide range of categories such as business strategy, innovation, operations and talent cultivation. The editorial team will be analyzing how these topics are trending over time, and will include related editorial content in forthcoming editions. As an organization, SoDA is actively tackling all of these issues (and more) via working committees, the SoDA Speakers Bureau, Peer Collaboration Groups and programs such as SoDA Doc.s (SoDAs suite of best practice documents, contracts and benchmark surveys).
SoDA celebrated a major milestone at its Global Member Meeting held this past July in Montreal, Quebec. For the first time in our five-year history, more than 50% of the offices of our member companies are located outside of North America. As we continue to increase the geographic breadth of the organizations activities and exclusive membership ranks, youll also find an increasingly international focus within the editorial content of The SoDA Report and our other communications. In fact, in Q3, well also be launching a multi-language version of the SoDA website in Simplified Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, French and English.
