Happiness or goodness - who wins the ‘conversation’?

Quick note:
In this post I basically compare two types of marketing that are non comparable.
It still makes an interesting read though
When John, Anjali and few others tweeted about their votes for a Pepsi Refresh project I clicked through and in 20 seconds I was in a ’standing ovation’ mode. Such awesome, admirable, bold, [...]

Probably the best film title ever

Gayniggers from Outer Space
I can’t believe me I haven’t heard about this one until today. This politically incorrect masterpiece is nothing short of genius!

Is obvious a good thing? Depends.

In case you missed it take a quick look so you can get what I’m talking about

This piece that got all marketing twitteratis drooling left me with half a smile half a ‘meh’. It’s an idea I bet has been on the minds of half the creative dudes in the world. It definitely was on [...]

Crossing the chasm (or Big brands that get it)

Recently I found myself thinking about the noisy minority of early adopters and their (not always) latent snobbery and cult or new news. What really makes me tick these days are big brands that get it. It so easy to ‘get it’ when you’re small, young business/brand but somehow the bigger you are the harder [...]

Notes on The Stream(s) experiment

Couple of weeks ago I started a little experiment to test the new hype and obsession with the Stream Theory. Quick reminder:
The next phase of media, I’ve been thinking, will be after the page and after the site. Media can’t expect us to go to it all the time. Media has to come to us. [...]

Notes on Streams + 2 weeks experiment

So streams are the new darling. So says Twitter.
There is something very seductive in the evolution of streams as well as the evolution of the discourse around streams. It’s fallacy is the usual early-adopters twitter-centric outlook that tends to categorically ditch the old world and embrace the new but if you read through the hyperbole [...]

One trend in digital we should all try to avoid in 2010

It’s this time of the year… New year’s trends lists are the currency of the moment, and every blogger and his sister compile a knowledgeable trends list for 2010. The world doesn’t really need another one from me.
So instead I’d like to talk about one trend which we should try to avoid in the next [...]

On bonfires and that

I’ve been meaning to write this post forever now but never found the time - it seems like a good follow up to my recent post about big statements in today’s marketing world.
You are all surely familiar by now with John’s really awesome idea of Fireworks (advertising) vs. Bonfires (social marketing) - it has rightly [...]

Beware marketing truisms

I’m increasingly getting worried (and bored) about the rise and rise of new marketing truisms, especially in the context of the social web. There seems to be to many (or too little?) ‘It’s all about X’, with X being the marketing buzz word of the moment: social ideas, experience, marketing, engagement, conversation, twitter, bonfires etc… [...]

Everything Communicates

For the Nokia Music project we are launching this week (will tell you more later) we got ourselves shiny 5800 Comes with Music edition. It’s a fantastic device but what I most liked about it was the guitar plectrum attached to the string that comes with the handset. Nice simple touch.
Everything communicates and the little [...]
