Brands supposedly want to achieve loyalty and build up a relationship with consumers. The data equivalent of getting to know you better. But what's this? Some big brands are ditching the received wisdom of rewarding loyal customers whilst handing out freebies to lure back dis-loyal customers instead. It's enough to make me choke on my Frappuccino. Now we're left wondering is there just too much big data to make sense of anyway; what price is loyalty and frankly where will it all end?

The IPA - advertising's equivalent of our esteemed IPM has just announced preliminary findings on a report into the effectiveness of advertising campaigns over the last 30 years. And their conclusions? Targeting is a waste of time and you should advertise more on TV. Is that really true for today's online society and is it relevant to sales promotion?

Like any good sporting discipline there are a multitude of ways of analysing performance and different brands come out on top depending on which criteria you measure (and who's doing the measuring). So now our post-Olympic attention turns to the game's legacy, will any of the brands' involvement live long in the memory?...

We like to think it's the Sales Promotion equivalent of Twitter's trending but without the shameless celebrity self promotion. An interesting snap shot of the state of UK Sales Promotion or a load of old pretty graphics and some bleeding obvious observations? Hopefully a bit of both but we're not promising...
