As we March on through the year (geddit?) I realise there’s a need for entertainment as well as education in these posts. So here goes. I hope there’s something in here that tickles your… well, whatever you like to have tickled. Careful though, you might learn something!
Email marketing: how to ensure your message gets read. The Marketing Association show they know how to utilise word of mouth.
Are you on Twitter? Are you going to be away from home? Probably not a good idea to post that information until you’re back, with sites like this one around. It’s supposed to be raising awareness of the issue, but isn’t it doing that by inciting crime?!?
Some helpful advice from Stuff.co.nz on Facebook etiquette. I initially thought this was a dumb idea for a news story, but in fact it raises interesting questions, especially within small industries in a small country like NZ!
For our design friends… Photoshop has just celebrated its 20th birthday. See their reminisces and celebrations here!
The AXIS Awards… CAANZs’s’ celebration of those who are willing to pay to enter and pay to attend a back-slapping ceremony (no cynicism here). They have however created one of the most addictive online games I’ve seen in a long time, to help generate agency enthusiasm for the event. I just wonder if it’s original??
Amongst the media maelstrom that is the Olympic Games, I came across this Facebook Fan page. Apparently Facebook took it down because it wasn’t actually a product, organisation or charity. But under pressure they’ve put it back up. Love those pants!!
And finally, can anyone tell me why cultural groups (and the NZRFU) may have been offended by this Coke ad from Japan?
