Marketing that will start a conversation!

I've been busy lately. I've been interning at AdHack, a BootUpLabs company, which shares an office floor with Strutta, who Jordan works for. Secondly, I have been collaborating on a few Tell Ten Friends proje...

Dusting Off the Runners for Cancer
My sister was the one that issued the challenge. After announcing on Twitter that she and my mom had signed up for the Sun Run, the trash talk began. It didn’t take long for my brother and I to respond to the taunting, and then I upped the stakes. So presently, four members of my immediate family are prepping to run the Sun Run on May 3rd. And since I am confident that I will cross the line a...
Help Build a Web Ad Case Study
My friends from Adhack.com have just launched a new campaign called “Show us Your Balls.” The campaign is meant to draw attention to their “People Powered Ads” services for ad creators and ad buyers, ad what better way to do that than with a campaign of their own. The best part is, they’re letting everyone get involved. Here is a more detailed description of the promotion, includi...
Platform Cage Match: Tumblr vs. Soup vs. OnSugar vs. Storytlr
We’re taking a closer at several personal “life stream” platforms, in a effort to discover which offers the best options and features, based on my own set of criteria. I explained the problem that spawned this little experiment in a previous post on my personal blog, but I’ll sum it up again here briefly. As an online marketer, photographer, “micro-blogger,” and multi-media hobbyist...
What Does Beta Mean?
Please Note: This item is cross-posted from the Strutta blog (my day job). I felt that it was relevant enough to post here as well, as it documents some of the process of launching and marketing a software product, from my perspective. Last night we received a question from a Strutta user via the contact form. He asked, "When are we going to be not beta? Why is there beta anyway?" As soon as...

Popout

Adhack will shoot the follow-up video based on the winning script, and some lucky brand will get its own user-generated ad campaign.

    In their own words:

    AdHack wants you to Show Us Your Balls! We’ve created part 1 of an awesome video campaign for …. You decide!

    Watch the video then write the script for the sequel. We’ll film to the top script and promote your contribution.

    AdHack founder James Sherrett says, “The brands that succeed in the world of open advertising harness the power of hearing what passionate, powerful consumers have to say. These are the folks who benefit most from commissioning AdHack commercials and advertisements. They have the balls to let go.”

    And of course, all the follow up, mp3s of audio, avatar creator and chance to write the script for the sequel video are at http://adhack.com/balls

I like the fact that this one campaign accomplishes so much:

  • It’s a great campaign for Adhack, to better familiarize people with their product and services
  • It becomes a great campaign for a lucky brand when the contest is done
  • It will serve as an excellent case study of online video ads and their effectiveness when all is said and done.

The future of advertising is now. What are waiting for?
