However, the survey entitled Maximize Business Results Online: How Web Content Management Technology is Transforming Digital Marketing  does have some interesting figures that might make companies think twice.

Is it possible to be both pretty and geeky?

Increasingly so. The September issue of Vogue Magazine — the most anticipated issue of the year for fashionistas — will be a behemoth ad spectacle as usual. This year, however, ads will send customers online to check out a new feature: ShopVogue.tv.
