Desodorante do Burger King e celular Nokia da Rexona

Enquanto algumas marcas viram desodorante, um desodorante vira celular. São dois casos:

O Burger King lançou o Flame, um desodorante em edição limitada que, segundo a empresa, captura a paixão americana pelo Whopper. Além do aroma de sedução, tem um toque de carne grelhada.

Pensa que é brincadeira? Você pode comprar aqui por 3,99 dólares. Uma ação com o sarcasmo já característico de Burger King. Criação da Crispin Porter + Bogusky.

Sponsoring Events to Advertise

Useful Marketing Ads

Familiar to most people who invest a lot in advertising is the fact of sponsoring events that are held on certain periods of time. This includes concerts or even sports events that draw a crowd to which provides a good medium for exposure particularly for brands that are still on the rise.

Aggressive giant companies like Coca Cola, Nike and Nokia do this. We can see their endorsement at various points in time. Notable among them include being seen over the NBA, the World Cup and concerts from known artists such as Christina Aguilera and Michael Jackson.

These events are held at various points of the world and the advertising support is something that makes them happen. With that in mind you can imagine the sum needed to finance these events and the returns expected from them on the chosen target market.

Scrambling for Ads in the Olympics

Canwest Publishing, Inc.

With the 2010 Vancouver Olympics practically a year away, it would be wise for companies who are planning to get advertising slots towards this world-renowned event early. With practically the whole world watching, you can just imagine the number of companies worldwide jockeying for position for good slots in the expected expensive yet lucrative exposure that one can just imagine.

The strategy here is simple. It is all on a first-come, first served basis. You can expect giants such as Nokia and Sony to be at the forefront of it all in what is expected to be a circus of sorts since this meet will really hit the global target audience. Just look at Canwest which just closed the deal of their advertising pact for the 2010 Olympics.

Canwest Publishing Inc., the largest owner of Canadian newspapers, has signed an Olympic-sized deal to supply advertising to the 2010 Vancouver Organizing Committee.

The deal, which will be announced this morning, includes all 10 of Canwest’s regional newspapers, including The Vancouver Sun and The Province, but not the flagship National Post.

Vanoc is calling Canwest an “official supplier”, a category that generally is worth between $3 millon and $10 million. In a memo sent to staff Wednesday morning Dennis Skulsky, the president of Canwest Publishing, and Kevin Bent, the publisher of the Pacific Newspaper Group called it an “Official Regional Newspaper agreement”.

Unique Business Names to Make Marketing Easier

Weird Business Names

The creative part of people today depends on how well they can put together their company name and expound on that. We find unique names that can include out of nowhere names like perhaps Fizz or even Friendster. But with the proper implementation of marketing practices, you will be surprised at the impact that they can have when you talk about making them a household name.

We have seen a lot of them from past years. Names such as Carrier, Sony and Nokia were virtual unknowns back in the days. But thanks to the proper advertising and promotional campaigns, they are big names in the business today.

With that in mind, you can just imagine at how one crazy name can make a difference. Support that and build on it and you may find yourself counting your money before you even blink.
