Listerine’s ‘rapping chins’ YouTube takeover
I haven’t seen a good YouTube takeover in a while, and Listerine (as in the mouthwash), have recently come up with a really smart YouTube/Twitter campaign. Listerine have created a series of videos where rapping (as in rap music) chins (as in the lowermost part of the face!) battle it out online. Simply select two [...]
My fav Olympic memes so far
Dubbed the social media Olympics, social media managers working on London 2012 have absolutely excelled at sharing updates through a variety of social channels this year. But let’s not forget that social media is about people, sharing with other people, and creative internet minds can quickly turn an innocent picture with a into a meme. Here’s [...]
Memolane: snippets from your social past straight into your inbox
Some argue that email marketing is dead, but I personally believe that it can be a very effective communications channel with some strategising.

Facebook Log Out experience now available in the UK

Can ‘influencers’ lose their influence?
I was going through my old university essays (there’s a good reason for that, which I’ll share with all of you in the next few weeks) and found an old consumer behaviour dissertation written 2002 (I am not getting any younger!) around the use of celebrities in advertisements. The topic of the essay was (note [...]
