Welcome Back by T-Mobile

If you’re reading my blog long enough you know I have a soft spot for crowdsourcing/digital and how brands are leveraging these technologies and platforms to boost sales, strengthen customer loyalty or create demand.

T-Mobile UK is one of the companies who are doing an excellent work online, and in my opinion can be credited with the flash mob phenomenon.

At the end of October they shot another flash mob video, this time at Heathrow Airport, International Arrivals Terminal 5. Watch and learn.

Published: World Cup 2.010

The College of Management logoCouple of months ago I wrote here about FIFA World Cup 2010, pointing out the digital campaigns of the major sponsors. Last week, the translated version was published in issue 7 of Marketing Now, a quarterly newsletter by The College of Management, School of Marketing & Advertising. You can read the online version here (Hebrew, IE only) or download the PDF (again, in Hebrew).

Disclosure: I work as assistant lecturer at The College of Management, and also completed my B.A. in Finance and Marketing at the institute.

Heineken: Champions League vs. Classical Concert

Staying innovative and unique isn’t easy in today’s landscape. With so many temptations and so little time it’s crucial to have a message, a one-line, that defines your brand.

Made to Entertain belongs to Heineken, and they decided to challenge the #1 sport in Europe – soccer. In October 21st 2009 Real Madrid was scheduled to play against AC Milan in the Champions League. The folks over at JWT Milan came up with the concept of ‘pulling away’ fans from their passion to a fake classical music concert, at the same day of the match. The ‘pulling’ was done by collaborators, such as college professors, girlfriends, bosses and journalists.

Enough said. Time to watch the concert (originally seen at holes in the net).
