Four Reasons Brands Must Check In to Foursquare. Now


Forrester has found that location-based social platforms are too small for major marketers to concern themselves with. At least for now. The reasoning Forrester gives is that location-based start-ups are still too small for major marketers to take great advantage of. Regardless of its current scale, here are four reasons why at 360i we're including Foursquare and other location-based social networks in our client thinking today.

Capital New York Plies Tough Market With Earnest Journalism


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Capital New York, the latest in the long tradition of New York media start-ups covering the city, sits fittingly on the second floor of a squat SoHo tenement. The door to the street entrance is lacquered in dark green paint and marked up with graffiti; the buzzer to the office is curiously labeled "PdF."

Battle of the Cheetos

Cheetos deu vida aos seus crocantes salgadinhos, nessa divertida ação online criada pela Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.

Como o nome já diz, você precisa escolher qual exército quer comandar: Crunchies ou Puffs, para depois iniciar uma batalha com outro usuário online, ambientada em populares sites e blogs da web como o Gizmodo, Boing-Boing, Mashable, entre outros. Você pode, inclusive, incluir seu site/blog na lista de locações das batalhas.

Battle of the Cheetos é mais do que um advergame bacaninha, pois conseguiu utilizar os veículos da chamada mídia social não apenas como mero portadores de mensagens “publicitárias”. Enjoy! :)

Will the 2010 Election Be Negative? Does a Bear Have Fur?

Saying this campaign cycle is going to be more negative than last campaign cycle is akin to saying this year comes after last year. They're always more negative. Or they seem that way at least, what with the annual rite of bellyaching over the sorry state of our society. But this year will be more negative, Evan Tracey tells The Washington Post. (And Evan's one of the few political analysts I know who is usually right.)

Cisco faz paródia da campanha da Old Spice

Cisco Old Spice

Eu não condeno as marcas que tentam pegar a onda no sucesso de uma outra campanha. A paródia pode ser boa, e muitas vezes com probabilidade de se tornar mais comentada que a ideia original.

Claro que esse dificilmente vai ser o caso da já clássica campanha da Old Spice no YouTube, que atingiu 40 milhões de views e com um outro número impressionante: as vendas duplicaram.

Dentre as inúmeras “cópias” do estilo Old Spice, a Cisco colocou no ar ontem o Ted, o cara da contabilidade que vai responder as perguntas de pessoas no Twitter. Quem quiser falar com o cara, basta tuitar com a tag #CiscoSPice.

Tem até alguns vídeos engraçadinhos no canal CiscoSP360, ainda que com pouca repercussão até o momento. De qualquer forma, eu jamais criticaria a Cisco, senão o Jack Bauer me mata.
