In honour of Labour Day, there will be no new Analytic Eye this week.

I’m doing some background maintenance on the site. I am also in research mode for a couple interviews I’ve got scheduled later in the month.

Looking for something to read in the Analytic archive?

• CHUM FM is running their brilliant Beat the Bank contest again. Check out the Analytic Eye’s analysis of why Beat the Bank is so successful. But, they aren’t offering quite the same prize money they once were. Would love to know the story there.
• Summer marks the end of full-scale concert season in Toronto. Did you see any good ones? How was the band or artist using social media during the show? Chances are they could use some social media lessons from Bon Jovi.
• The NBA kicks off its new season during the end of October. I’m curious how the Raptors (the local team in Toronto) will position their brand this year. Here’s how the Raptors dealt with their marketing the year Chris Bosh left and the franchise lost its biggest name.
• New television shows kick off over the next six weeks. Here are three things to never do if you make television commercials for a living.

Happy end of summer. See you next week.
