“Mr. Jobs’ publicity machine garnered more than 6,000 iPod and iTunes stories in major publications worldwide. That compares to paid media spending in the first eight months of 2003 of only $10 million on iTunes and $9 million on iPod, according to TNS Media Intelligence/CMR. Overall, Apple’s paid media spending was only $69 million in the first eight months of ‘03.”
I'm a passionate, long-time lover of Apple products, and was a civil draftsman and graphic designer before creating the iLounge web site. My prior projects include work for The Los Angeles Times' LATimes.com, and the company Creative Domain, where I developed websites for clients including Columbia Pictures, Disney, Fox Studios, Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers. As the Publisher of iLounge, I direct the site's community forums, photo galleries, iPod User Group, and general business affairs, which have grown under my watch to over sixteen million page views every month. I'm happily married with one daughter, one dog (Rocket the Wonderdog), one cat (Ferris), many iPods, iPhones, iPads, and two turntables.
