Cobra Twindaloo
Nov 21st
Cobra recently created this Twitter micro-site to celebrate National Curry Week, whereby Twitter users can enter their @names and Tweet their curry type.
The activity aims to reinforce Cobra’s positioning as the beer of choice when eating a curry.
There are however a number of fails in their approach:
- I would have liked to see a big ‘Tweet your curry type’ button on the Twitter micro-site. Their share this button isn’t particularly user-friendly. In addition, no Twitter hashtag was included in the Tweets.
- The Twitter micro site doesn’t link back to their main corporate website and I wasn’t quite sure More >
Starbucks UK news
Sep 3rd
Love them or loathe them, Starbucks are an iconic brand. Nothing beats the Starbucks experience whilst blogging away on a Saturday afternoon.
Anyhow, the bottom line is that Starbucks sponsored last month’s London Blogger’s meet up, and I just thought I would drop a quick line about their latest UK initiatives.
Starbucks recently launched an instant coffee product called VIA Ready Brew (VIA = road in Italian in case you were wondering). Being French and all, I am not a big fan of instant coffee (hmmm Italian espresso anyone?;) but I have to say that VIA Ready brew tasted quite nice and a lovely More >
Play Me I’m Yours – when Art meets Social Media
Jul 14th
‘Play Me I’m Yours’ is an artwork by artist Luke Jerram, presented for Sing London and the City of London Festival.
30 street pianos were installed on the streets of London for members of the public to play and engage with. Decorated to suit their location and marked ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’, each piano had its own songbook attached to encourage communal involvement.
This picture was taken at Liverpool Street station during rush hour yesterday, and surprisingly, Londonners stopped to enjoy the sweet sound of music before heading home.
I totally fell in love with this idea when I first read More >
Music and Social Media – Amandine hits the right notes
Jun 21st
Six million broadband users are estimated to download files illegally every year in the UK in a practice that music and film companies claim is costing them billions of pounds in lost revenue annually.
So what can music companies do to tackle music piracy? Two things spring to mind: a) Fine illegal music downloaders (virtually impossible) 2) Be creative
I recently (legally) downloaded French singer Amandine Bourgeois’ first album and was pleasantly surprised to be given access to a VIP space on her website that includes an exclusive video diary, acoustic songs, photos and a fan forum where you can More >
Join T-Mobile’s next flashmob
Apr 28th
It looks like T-Mobile are planning another flashmob later on this week and this time we’re invited
I am planning on going popping over to Trafalgar Square after work on Thursday, and it’s also the perfect excuse to grab a drink or two afterwards. Who’s in? (don’t forget your camera)
I heart Facebook (and Twitter too)
Feb 25th
I’ve been really pleased to see all the buzz in the press around Twitter lately (albeit not always positive), and at least my ‘offline’ friends now remotely know what I am talking about when I mention Twitter… well kind of!
I am however a little sick and tired of hearing that Twitter is going to kill Facebook … I don’t think so!
Twitter is a micro-blogging site used by people who blog and whilst it may be growing and getting tons of coverage at the mo, it is not mainstream yet. I would even go as far as saying that it More >
