More From The Client Side – “Marketing Unleashed”
Thursday, June 18th, 2009A couple of days ago we posted a link to Michal Seaton’s “Client Side“.
Today another, and a really good one called “Marketing Unleashed”
This is by Gary Bembridge, Vice President Beauty Care EAME for Johnson & Johnson Beauty Care Business Unit. Most of Gray’s career has been at J. & J. but has also worked with Unilever too.
Gary writes well about many things; marketing, advertising and PR, though not surprisingly with a lot of great content about brands, branding and the beauty business in particular.
Here’s an example of recent blog topics on brand and branding.
BRANDING & BRAND BUILDING ARTICLES
It’s good stimulating stuff, lots of examples, lots of ads. Whether you are client side or agency side, or somewhere else, enjoy.
VW banner ad users twitter
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Very cool VW banner ad that recommends a car for you based on your own tweets. It’s a nice way to profile and segment. You are after all, what you tweet.
BTW, I’m a VW Rabbit but I so want to be a Scirocco.
Try it –> VW Banner Ad using tweets.
Ready To Rock?
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Into XBOX or PlayStation gaming?
If not, you might have seen the coin-operated equivalents of Guitar Hero or Rock Band in a shopping mall. Pop a few baht in, fire up the electronic guitar and you’re famous.
Rock Band, released at the end of 2007, adds in a drum kit and vocals to the guitar. In just 18 months over 30 million songs have been downloaded, allowing players to add extra songs to their repertoire of music.
The next big release, ie music game for Rock Band will be The Beatles on Tour.
Enjoy the trailer below

Game to be released on 09.09.09
This will be big, and probably a hard day’s night for neighbors with thin walls.
The Client Side
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009Just came across an interesting marketing/communications blog put together by Michael Seaton, a Canadian marketing professional who seems to have mainly worked “Client Side” hence the name of his blog.
You can check it out here.
Some recent sweet content includes the link to Coleman (camping equipment) on “The Original Social Network Site” and “Flutter” a new app. to take on Twitter.

The Power of Dreams
Friday, June 12th, 2009I came across a wonderful quote on dreams by T.E.Lawrence aka “Lawrence of Arabia” which at least woke me up.
“All men dream: but not all equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find it was all vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”
Talking of dreams, my favorite campaign on the theme is Honda’s “The Power of Dreams”. The “Cog” and “Choir” and “Love it, Hate It” versions seem to have scooped a whole sack of awards in recent years, though the I really love the simpler and much funnier one below.
Keep dreaming.
Someone has to.
