Hallmark Channel, you might have heard of it – it’s that really niched channel -, will launch a new service for advertisers. It’s called Fast Break and it will launch somewhere between June 23 – 26.

The coolness factor: Why do we love Apple’s marketing?

When you say Apple, you say either Mac or iPhone. Generally speaking, you say “those white and/or shinny expensive electronic things”.
