Dear {FIRST_NAME},

As we ring in the new year, aQuantive President and CEO, Brian McAndrews, looks back at 2004 and celebrates an astonishing 49% year-over-year organic revenue growth. McAndrews gives an overview of the company's key strategic moves in 2004, including the birth of the Avenue A | Razorfish brand and the launch of its fully integrated digital marketing solution.



Online Targeting and Personalization

Targeting and personalization offer myriad opportunities to realize better online campaign performance. At the same time, they offer plenty of opportunities to make mistakes. The essential tip is to make sure that your testing plan enables you to systematically learn from those mistakes.
Creating Quality Personas

Using a survey to ask users what they want will never be as valuable as discovering through direct observation what satisfies them, motivates them, or frustrates them. Achieving deeper insight into the drivers behind user behavior with quality persona development is the first step in harnessing the ability to influence that behavior in order to achieve business goals.

As companies begin to embrace web-based information systems, Corporate America is increasingly reliant on enterprise portals as efficient ways to share knowledge, communicate, collaborate, increase productivity, and strengthen relationships among various internal and external constituents. By starting small, looking for discrete, high-value wins, and by buying only what is needed, companies are discovering that it is possible to reap the benefits of an enterprise portal while staying within a sensible budget.
