Raising awareness on Product Placement

Advertising is everywhere. From print ads in magazines and billboards, pop ups and spam on Internet, or commercials on television, it is virtually impossible not to see advertisements in daily life. Some researchers even say that we see on average

Music and Bits and Marketing

As a follow up to my previous post about the Music and Bits conference, I wanted to cover off on the other topic of the day, marketing.  Out of the five companies who presented two of those, Top Notch records and TopSpin media, discussed the current landscape of music marketing for artists and bands.

Top Notch

Twitter as eWoM-cashcow?

Sander Jansma already discussed the phenomenon of ‘word-of-mouth’, the so-called WoM. The idea of passing information from person to person has been around since humankind could communicate orally and has evolved with the rise of different means of communication. WoM is no longer all about speaking but also found his way in face-to-face, texting, telephone, email and nowadays ofcourse…

Shift in power

If you google “social media” or “social networksites” you will receive tons of links. Everybody seems to use social networksites and you need to be involved soon. Most of the links use a kind of paranoia, to make you aware of how you are left out if you are not using social media. Next to those kind of links, which are focused on private users, we find a lot of links for corporate institutions. Most of them are also based on a certain kind of paranoia. The basis is that if you as a business don’t do something with social media, you will lose customers to companies who do use it.

New Media and Marketing

Since the rise of use of new media, marketing departments seem to be stressed out because they don’t know how to handle this new medium. Should they invest? How, where and how can they measure the effects? Companies don’t want to stay behind, but also don’t know what to do. Is twitter the new way to go? Or is creating…

For marketers using new media strategies is becoming popular. Direct mailing is a popular tool which is already used for many years. Social networks have taken over email in terms of popularity. Twitter is a very popular one.

Businesses such as Cisco Systems, Whole Foods Market, Dell , Zappos.com, BBC and Comcast use Twitter to provide…

Twitter: “Blurb 2.0″

The acceleration of communication is a product of our growing need or desire to handle larger amounts of information in shorter periods of time. As efficient as this may sound, there has been somewhat of a public outcry against this tendency’s effect on our increasingly condensed expressions, which have been described as…

The Twitter Effect

For all those feeling nostalgic about the good old days in which search engines were not based on algorithms but actual people doing the work; your human side of the search engine is back.

On Lazytweet you can ask questions or search through a database that provides answers by other users through Twitter. Works terribly bad, and seems…

Become a Fan: Facebook marketing

Facebook is smart. And they certainly are not a charity sale. In order to provide the thousands of employees with the great benefits and to keep on growing they’ll annoy their users just enough to make some money, but not enough that they migrate to The Next Big Thing. Facebook advertising is not all that obstructive. Even…

How much do I know about you?

http://nl.toonpool.com/user/562/files/eyes_564945.jpgThis is the sequel of an experiment I started last week. I was curious how can you use Facebook quizzes for research and marketing purposes. My self made Facebook Quiz has not become very successful. After about a week only 17 people took the Quiz. I guess that my promotion techniques can be improved. A lot. Although, I…
