Bush shoe throwing hijacks

By Jonathan | Published: December 16, 2008
UPDATE: the meme has gone really big, as kind of expected. Sock and Awe has had over 46 million shoes thrown too . . . After watching the news report of a journalist throwing his shoes at George Bush this morning, I waited for the inevitable response from the web. Usually it’s from individuals able [...]

“My Goodness. This is insane!”

By Jonathan | Published: October 22, 2008
Said Ste on Twitter just now. So I had to take a look. And there is was, a creative agency called lisapmaxwell using its website as a ‘live case study in viral marketing’. Insane it may well be right now, but in the very near future I think it will be the norm to be [...]

Cringey Microsoft marketing moment

By Jonathan | Published: September 2, 2008
This is unbelievable. So, so cringey – I keep thinking it’s an ironic viral thing. There is so much wrong with this video. “Ease, accessibility and fashion” ? Sorry guys but there’s talking about it and then there’s actually doing it. Trying way too hard. [via Ars Technica which quite rightly asks if Microsoft [...]

Whopper Freakout

By Jonathan | Published: December 23, 2007
UPDATE: think it isn’t as good as it seems as Graham pointed out. OK, quick one for Christmas. A gift from me to you. Latest from Burger King – a great idea executed well that uses its own customers to deliver the desired message. A lot better than “I’m Lovin. it”. You simply cannot simulate brand [...]

RIP Flash Mobs

By Jonathan | Published: November 14, 2007
Just as Charley was accused as being the nail in the coffin for rave, surely this means flash mobs as we know it are over. It makes me cringe watching it. More journos than flash mobbers/lone guitarist begs for people to come forwards/all way too planned. Please make it stop. [Via]

Wonderbra: two cups full of joy

By Jonathan | Published: November 9, 2007
Not been in the mood for blogging lately (again!). Been getting a lot more into Twitter and I’m still a complete del.icio.us addict – plus like everyone else, Facebook really is taking up a lot of my time. So, that hasn’t left me with a lot of time for blogging. One thing I will quickly [...]

Nice one Jamie

By Jonathan | Published: October 19, 2007
A bit of a rugby theme today. . . blesstheboot.com – Great idea, slightly ropey looking but executed pretty quickly. Will certainly be doing the rounds today and has already got some good hits. It should have been 02, or a sports brand, or in fact any brand that wanted to hijack the buzz ahead [...]
