John Bell, who head up Ogilvy PR’s global 360° Digital Influence team, touches on the difficulty of selling social media plans to mainstream clients.
Many brands and businesses want to take advantage of social media – influencer outreach, activation of networks or communities and radical visibility – to fill out their marcom plan. They are not ready, or maybe even suitable for organizational change. They need to launch a product, boost sales this quarter, or demonstrate that they are innovative. We see this with many consumer package goods companies (CPGs). They are sales machines. Often their brand leadership is transitory at best. The brand managers move from brand to brand within the organization as they conquer challenges.
Bell advocates experimentation, but notes that a less-committed approach, can lead to shortcuts and shortcuts can lead to program “underperformance” and a perceived sense of failure.

The terms “real†and “fake†can start to lose all meaning when you talk about 2007’s Grindhouse by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. To ramp up the “realism†of their “fake†drive-in double feature, the duo worked with friends to create fake trailers. (You can watch them in their nudity-packed, blood-splattered glory on YouTube, at least until someone reports the video.) Now, one of those fake previews is supposedly being made into a real movie. With me so far? The Movie Blog unearthed this poster for Machete, although commenters point out that it’s been floating around since Grindhouse came out. So is Machete really being made? Wikipedia says yes. (And if there’s one place I trust to tell real from fake, it’s Wikipedia.) Sadly, there’s still no word on a release date for Werewolf Women of the SS. Via Cinematical.
