Some time ago we told you about our love for using REAL people in your advertising campaign. There are lots of reasons….and Marriott agrees. In their new campaign, “The Driven”, Marriott is using real customers that they were able to identify through social media. We’ll tell you about it and about how you can sign up, www.YourMarriottStory.com is the place to start. We’ll also talk about the good and the bad about using non-professionals as spokespeople.
We’ve been fans of working in a virtual office for years. Once the technology caught up with the abilities and needs of working from home we made the decision, three years ago, to vacate our $3,500 a month suite of offices, increase the pay levels of our designers and “go home”. But, some folks can’t work that way for all kinds of reasons and co “co-working” is an option. David Port has an article in the latest issue of Entrepreneur and we’ll get a local angle from our friend Daniel Shipton from Impromptu Studio here in Des Moines.
It’s one of the oldest requests in the media business, “How can I get traditional media coverage for my businesss?” We think you’ll like our take…and take notes. It really works.
The Wall Street Journal had an article about On-Line Critics or how to answer them in this world of the Internet and Social Media. Raymond Flandez gave us some “thought starters” for this piece. If you want to read his entire story here you go. Ours…we think also hits the points well.
