Marketing and advertising budget dollars are continuing to move from print and other traditional media to online. And the social web is becoming the mainstream web.
Read Lee J. Colan's advice in Dallas Business Journal: Play the full table here.
"Don't necessarily abandon proven strategies, but try putting a new spin on your shot by exploiting a new niche or leveraging an under-used marketing channel. Increase your exposure in the marketplace and improve your customer service vs. cutting back on both. While everyone is playing in the safe zone, explore cost-effective ways to play more aggressively."
