Baby carrots take on junk food with hip marketing campaign

"Name a snack food that's neon orange and makes a loud crunch when munched.
If you picked Cheetos, the nation's biggest producer of baby carrots wants you to think again.

Just in time for the battle over what's gonna be in millions of back-to-school lunches, Bolthouse Farms and nearly 50 other carrot growers today will unveil plans for the industry's first-ever marketing campaign. The $25 million effort sets its sights on a giant, big-spending rival: junk food"

"By creating the car we also create pollution, road accidents and landscapes devastated by motorways. By creating the film industry we also create Rocky 18, Home Alone 7 ad Emmanuelle Meets Godzilla (actually that last one might be worth watching)."

"The future is now!"

"The future is now! Soon every American home will integrate their television, phone and computer. You'll be able to visit the Louvre on one channel, or watch female wrestling on another. You can do your shopping at home, or play Mortal Kombat with a friend from Vietnam. There's no end to the possibilities!"

-- Jim Carrey, "The Cable Guy", 1996

Principle Number 1: Invest in and build face time between team members long before they are required to appear together.
Principle Number 2: Evolve your “songs” and bring the same level of ideas, new perspectives, excitement, and enthusiasm to your hundredth meeting with a client that you brought to the first.
Principle Number 3: Help team members become brands-within-a-brand by giving them a song — an idea or proposal — that will help them to shine.
Principle Number 4: Put exceedingly diverse professionals on the same team, mix specialists with generalists, and foster friendly competition to produce the best ideas.

Ok. Nós cada vez mais vivemos numa sociedade onde todos são "experts" ou especialistas em algum coisa e têm tempo de atena para falar.

Agora convidar o Ozzy Osbourne para ser o novo "health-advicer" do The Sunday Times é um pouco ...

Será que é porque o Ozzy é a prova viva de que a medicina Ocidental não explica milagres? (risos)

"New mobile tools and brands"

As aplicações móveis de geo-localização ainda não atingiram um "tipping point". No entanto as marcas não devem descuidar o princípio do "first-mover advantage", nem tão-pouco a influência dos chamados "early adopters".

"Brand owners that exploit location-based services on mobile phones could benefit from a substantial first-mover advantage among a small but highly influential audience.

According to a poll by Forrester, a total of 4% of American adults have used platforms like Foursquare, Gowalla and Loopt, which reward shoppers for "checking in" at specific sites such as restaurants and retail outlets."
