“I NEVER Lose My Google Hits…”

LiLo, the charming Disney redhead that never gained a foothold in reality: Another child-star on the brink of losing everything? Not according to her best PR move to date. Beleaguered Lindsay Lohan released a mock E-Harmony video yesterday on FunnyOrDie (1.7MM views) that takes sharp jabs at herself: She’s single (lonely), reportedly broke, and probably alcoholic. But, she has her good qualitities as well, promising Mr. Right: “…at the end of the date, I promise you that I never lose my Google hits, just my underwear.” Gotta love a woman that has clear priorities!

Speaking of Google, if you haven’t seen YouTube lately, it’s crystal clear that Google is serious about monetizing the popular video site. Check out YouTube Edu (Education), YouTube House Hub (Government), and YTSO (YouTube Symphony Orchestra). The YTSO alone is worth the visit. And don’t forget to visit Pepsi-sponsored PopTub, a channel featuring the freshest videos on YouTube.

Jeff Louis is an experienced Senior Media Planner, Project Manager, and New Business Coordinator. His passion is writing, contributing to BMA as well as freelancing. He’d love to hear from you: www.linkedin/in/jefflouis or on twitter @jlo0312.

Everyday Models

ads.jpg

O estudante James Brookner e o fotógrafo Matt Garcia, ambos do Reino Unido, tiveram uma idéia simples e fabulosa. Eles criaram uma solução que se insere no atual momento em que o panorama midiático está se reinventando diariamente. Esta solução foi denominada Everyday Models: um programa que convida alguém a receber o pagamento por alugar coisas da sua vida cotidiana para anunciantes, seja roupas, carros, casa ou até perfil online.

Para fazer parte deste clube, os britânicos precisam se cadastrar no site da iniciativa. Fornecendo os dados pessoais, fica mais fácil para os anunciantes identificarem quais destes perfis tem mais a ver com a mensagem e o target definido para sua campanha.

Em tempos onde as empresas buscam gastar cada vez menos com inserções publicitárias, e o investimento em publicidade cada vez mais segmentada também está em ascensão, esta acaba sendo uma saída totalmente inovadora e pertinente. Só resta saber se vai dar certo.
