About
“Marketing Rag” is a blog and newsletter featuring marketing ideas, trends, opinions and factoids, written and edited by Michael Carney.
Michael is a veteran marketer with an insatiable passion for whatever’s new, different, exciting or interesting in the world of communications. He is based in New Zealand, a wonderful vantage point from which to view and report on happenings around the world — North, South, East or West. He’s an information magpie, attracted by bright shiny nuggets of marketing intelligence — which he then shares with his readers.
Michael has been in the marketing game since (gulp) 1971, online since 1987 — and a respected author, playwright and newsletter writer. Michael keeps tabs on a wide range of trends and developments, locally and around the world.
