A report on abc.com shows how to measure how your customer reacts to your message by monitoring brain activity. Small cameras and 32 electrosensors measure sight and brain activity while an advertisement is shown. These measurements identify the person’s reaction to the message and what parts of the advertisement that was most , or least, effective.

Thanks to the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic Volunteers!

Metro has been a part of the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic for 16 years. The volunteers that run The Classic are amazing individuals that selflessly and tirelessly donate thousands of hours to make this one of the premiere golf events in the country. One of the ways Metro teams with The Classic is to create a volunteer video — a retrospective video shown at the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. We videotape volunteer activities the weeks leading up to and during the event, then edit hours of footage to produce a 30-minute video in 2 days.  The video highlights the hard work — and the fun — the volunteers put in during the tournament.

Thanks Volunteers for a great tournament (and a great video).

It’s the only time during the day for me to catch up on all the things that are happening in the world. A couple of weeks ago my cable company robbed me of my cherished morning routine through a disruption of their internet service.
