All about marketing
For some reason I managed to get myself onto a marketing mailing list, but found that some of the articles are so interesting that I can’t bring myself to unsubscribe. Today there was a very interesting article on the new advertising campaign for a South African mobile phone company called MTN. The campaign is created by an advertising agency called The Jupiter Drawing Room/MetropolitanRepublic. They have done some good stuff in the past but this campaign is rather controversial due to the fact that they seem to have taken ideas (and in the case of one ad, a direct copy of the video, edited to fit into 30secs), from You Tube videos.
Comments on the article range from it being direct theft, to simple non-innovation. Talking about adverts and innovation, one of the comments points to a UPS campaign which is absolutely brilliant. You can get the UPS videos here, do yourself a favour, check it out.
Well I picked up my tickets for the Coca Cola MyFest today. I think it’s gonna be great, it will be my first non-Christian concert so it will be interesting to see. Guns ‘n Roses were supposed to be headlining the concert but due to injury have cancelled.
From GunsnRoses.com:
“I feel so bad right now,” explains bassist Tommy Stinson. “I accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. I put my hand down to break my fall and heard a loud ‘pop.’ The next morning my hand looked like a balloon. I went to see my doctor, and while the good news is that it’s not broken, the bad is news is it’s severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage
I would post photos but no Imaging devices are allowed 
Well thats it for today.
