Twitter for Marketing Campaign

The new Nissan 370Z is going to be targeted towards tech savvy buyers given the new campaign proposed by Whybin/TBWA Melbourne. The campaign will feature a Twitter page supported by a customized website. The twitter page will be updated with reasons why consumers should buy the car. This is utilizing current social networking trends and is leading the charge in innovative campaigns. I hope this is a successful campaign for Nissan and TBWA.

Who is white mike??

This shark has been surfacing everywhere lately and even has its own twitter page! I was curious as to what it was so i decided to do some research. I have now discovered that this is a environmental movement that is trying to get the message out that sharks are endangered. There is a documentary that everyone should watch called Sharkwater, it exposes the illicit hunting of sharks for their fins off many primarily third world countries and as of 2004 the great white population has dropped 70%!!

You can learn more about this issue on on their webpage

This is such a serious issue and it really needs to be addressed as Sharks are often neglected in environmental fights and there is NO international governing body that is in charge of enforcing illegal fishing off coasts! What is up with that!!!

Twitter for promotions anyone????

For those of you who thought twitter couldn't be utilized to get the word out, here is proof. #Hoppusday was devised by a blink 182 fan site which started in Brazil and then went viral on twitter. It increased the exposure of blink 182 and mark hoppus and left millions of twitters wondering who or what was #hoppusday? Guesses were a religious holiday ie something to do with opus dei as well as people just thinking it was meant to be "helpusday" LOL

Twitter is the new medium of marketing and promotion jump on people!

Sounds of M83

M83 is a band i have been listening to recently. They are a french electronic band with a really chilled out sound that is similar to Postal Service or Air. Their latest album came out last year and is called Saturdays = Youth.

The Truth About Bottled Water

Best new show!

I have recently been watching a UK show called Skins. It is amazingly funny and really enjoyable to watch. I highly recommend it to people! Watch it.

~ Dev Patel, from Slumdog Millionaire got the lead for that film because the director's daughter saw him on Skins and recommend him for the role! Pretty cool trivia!

Dammit O'reilly. Enough!

Eminem has just released a single called "We Made You". And the music video for the song contains a parody of Sarah Palin among other well known (as bad as they are!) figures such as Jessica Simpson. Prominent news journalist Bill O'Reilly decided to take a shot at Eminem for promoting obscene imagery and lyrical content saying he was "obviously on an obscene rant about Sarah Palin" finishing by saying "eminem means nothing....this video means nothing. Its played for kids that are confused". 

I can understand O'Reilly's angle but i think he is out of line to criticise rap music because he doens't listen or understand it. I also think O'reilly should focus on all the other people that are vilified in the video if he is going to take issue with it, Sarah Palin gets a lot of this kind of stuff O'Reilly should be over it by now. 

I often watch the O'Reilly factor to get the other side of some news, however i believe O'Reilly is wrong about Eminem, his fans know his songs are just small shots at people and his music video reflects that and its what we come to expect from his videos. Eminem is gifted with his rapping ability and Rap is a popular musical genre with many talented artists and it is something O'Reilly should acknowledge.
