Big Goodbye

100 days later with more than 100 posts and over a thousand views, I come to the end of my summer project which is this blog. I’m not sad at all because I’m working on my next project already which obviously still has to do with marketing.

Top 5 Thank You’s

1. Alivia – Thank you so much for all the love and support. I absolutely love talking marketing with you and just because this blog is at an ends doesn’t mean the conversations are.
2. Amanda – Thank you for subscribing even though you never had to. I hope you had an amazing time in Singapore.
3. Samantha – What would I do without you? Thank you for always listening to me rant about marketing.
4. Johnson – Thanks for the support! I wish you the best in Taiwan.

Little Extra: What physics taught me about marketing

I love TED talks.

Perhaps I love this talk because I learnt about marketing through art history, but marketing principles apply through the common sense of other practices.

Little Publicity: Anti-Branding?

My friend Sami sent me this article and its absolutely hilarious. Is there such a thing as anti-branding?

According to the article Snooki from Jersey Shore is being sent bags/purses, but instead of the companies themselves sending the bags to her, competitors are sending them. Its as if sending Snooki your bag will lead to a decrease in sales (rather dramatic), but it is true that most companies will want to opt out of a girl that sucks on pickles ,as one of her greatest pleasures in life, as their spokesperson.

Find amazing people and have them be the spokesmodel of your company. (Forward to 55 sec).

Advertalicious: Mattel

Has advertising got worse? This is a Mattel commercial from the 1960′s.

and this is one from 2007.

Perhaps I just love vintage. What do you think? Which is better?

Libberazzi: Lego product placement on chatroullette

Here are some interesting posts from my friends I want to share:

Lego: Kids shouldn’t watch too much T.V. by Ben

I absolutely love Lego advertising. A big thank you to Alivia for the post.

Product placement on the rise in video games by Erika Brown

A big thank you to Sami for this article. It’s scary to think that games, movies and books all revolve around companies now. There will be a point where everything we do will revolve around companies getting desperate to advertise in new ways.

The Last Exorcism on Chatroulette

This is not for the faint of heart but a really great way to advertise on chatroulette. Thank you to Amy for the video.

Blogalicious: Flirting with cakes teaches you how to be a woman

Some more of my favourite blog posts:

Flirtation failure by Girl on the Contrary

Perhaps its because she’s so honest or perhaps its because I don’t know how to flirt either but this is definitely a very witty and personal blog.

Cakes, Tea and Dreams by Katie Gibson

A letter to your sixteen-year-old self. I love the idea, in fact I loved it so much I wrote my own.

What I haven’t worked out about being a woman by Marina

Common sense about our genders is a load of bull cr#p. I remember when I was younger I had no idea how to shave and I had to look it up online.

Listen to your heart if its leading you to a happier place. Listen to your head when you heart is misleading.

Little Knowledge: Seth Godin on Book Publishing

This is not for everyone. In fact if you don’t have an attention span longer than 5 minutes I wouldn’t even bother clicking the link.

Seth Godin on the Book Publishing Industry

Its fascinating to see predictions on an industry that is currently facing what the music industry faced a while back. I wonder if the publishing industry will learn from those mistakes. My guess is that it probably won’t.
