The Geico iPhone App
Lately I have started to pay specific attention to commercials for Insurance Companies. It is interesting to watch the approach they take when trying to sell insurance in our current economic climate.

I never cease to amaze myself.

When Do Companies Stop Marketing: Success or Suicide?
It's no question that marketing is the first department to lose in economic downturns. Companies have already started cutting marketing jobs, canceling sponsorships, and scaling down budgets.
