A BAR WITHOUT ALCOHOL IS NOT A BAR

Ok for people who like to party its is impossible to hang out with your friends to hit a bar and dont drink or go to the bar the bartender says "WE DONT SELL ALCOHOL HERE" Imagine that, i would die haha.
Well anyway, the world is going crazy and crazy , so there is people for pretty much everything, entreprenuers have to fill gaps with new businesses to cover new niches of market. This bar pretty much only sells flavoured water. This strategy is the type of push marketing , where you take you product to the last point of purchase , forcing the consumer purchase your product

At the moment when you pick her up, you show up with your Lego bike. hahahah. Hillarious, so funny, dont you think???

FIRST MARKETING GROUP IN SECOND LIFE

I wanted to give a following up to the last post. Something related with Second Life, so i found this marketing group so crazy that i wanted to show it to you.
Crayon is a new start up from a bunch of great guys who want to create new trends in marketing and incorporate them to the web. The "new marketing" , its a very good expression of where this crazy world is going , it make sense, more and more we spent our times online ; working, creating projects, networking, sharing info , etc.

The best part of Crayon is that their offices are around the world and in Second Life, yes ladies and gentleman in FUCKING SECOND LIFE.They opened their office there, and they threw a party which you can see the pics of their office.Skype installed,they meet, talk, develop new projects online. I like the idea of setting up an office in this platform, plus is great you can see the photos of your virtual agency.
So many businesses have opened lately in SL, but Crayon is something way different. Its the first marketing group in the platform of SL. Plus , it will not surprise this agency will do marketing strategies with the firms inside of SL. Differentiation is must nowadays, is the way of doing the things different and catch the attention of the market.
This agency is pretty crazy but it think in a near future will be really succesful cause the there is a huge potential market under this platform. I leave you the photos of the CRAYON

WHERE IS THE WORLD GOING??????

This fucking world is changing so fast that Im not seeing it coming! So many changes have become , some of them pros some of the cons. The fact is that everything is going so fast that no one has the time to realize it. Internet has given so many opportunities in terms of communications, businesses, content and information. According to the New York Times in 2020 most of the businesses are going to be through internet and i don't really have a doubt about it.

For example what can we say about SECOND LIFE, its a fucking surreal world , its not something tangible you can feel, taste or touch, its just a bunch of characters creating a different world simulating a perfect world.If you dont think this platform is working among the online users , take a look :

A robust virtual economy has blossomed on SecondLife as well. At least three thousand users make at least $20,000 per year on SecondLife, selling everything from clothes to body parts to real estate. The economy of SecondLife has been estimated to be $64 million per year. Real world businesses are sniffing around the service as well. Wells Fargo, for example, has created its own branded island in Second Life.

SecondLife puts current statistics right up on the home page (stats as on 1:30 pm on Sunday October 22 are to left). Nearly half a million users have logged on in the last 60 days, and $441,948 has been spent in the last 24 hours.
With all of this real money floating around the SecondLife economy, look for more businesses to set up shop. And look for other companies to be selling advice to these new businesses.

THIS FIELD IS BURNING

Marketers are always reaching for certain spots to put their brands. We have seen so many sport we have never imagine to see a brand. This time in a really clever strategy, One brand of sausages create a foosball field with their sausages as a players and the field is like a simulate grill that burns. Imagine that!
I think it will be a good strategy for snicker brands, imagine to put like a shoes in the players of foosbal.That will be really good in terms of attribute and functionality. Plus , no one else have done it before and thats what it´s all about

STRICKING AGAINST THE SYSTEM

From the most chaotic city in the world Mexico City to Norway,Urban Art is a term that dont believe in boundaries. The last century has gained so much popularity.It was used mainly by the art establishment to encompass art and artists who were originally involved in street and graffiti art. The term achieved further endorsement when major auction houses such as Bonhams used it to categorise these types of prints.

Artists associated with the Urban Art genre, include Keith Haring, Banksy, Dan Baldwin,Madres, D*Face and Pure Evil. The movement began life as an ephemeral art form disappearing as fast as it appeared. Now many of the works that were created with spray-paint and stencils and began life as street graffiti are being transferred to canvas and limited edition prints, completing its transition from underground subculture to mainstream art movement.

ONE PICTURE WORTHS MORE THAN THOUSAND WORDS

The eye of the camera capture certain moments in life that you can keep in your mind forever.The photographer only need to be in the right place and in the right moment to get that big shot. For Enrique Metinides its its mandatory to be in right place, thats the way of their photos works. To get one shot of that single moment that dont happen to often.
The victims of traffic accidents , electricity murders, thefts , are some of the main characters of the shocking images of this Mexican Photographer. Now a days the pics are exhibit in many museums around Latin America .Metinides had his debut in EU this year in the BLUM&POE at Los Angeles.

THE DICK CARD

When you have an organization that provides a service or a product it`s not mandatory to have an Ad Agency in order to promote something. So many times you can elaborate your own advertising if you know what your target wants. This is a clear example of it, advertising is build it up into one big idea, it depends in what you want to communicate and in which form. The thing i always say its that is not mandatory to have like a million bucks to impact a huge audience. What you only need is a big idea and good way to transmit it.

YOUR MOUTH SMELLS LIKE CRAP!

Lets face it , the world is changing an so do the businesses. In an industry like advertising where the ideas become the most important thing, its mandatory to keep innovating and be aware of what the people is doing around the world. In the last 5 year we have seen so many new media in advertising, some people create new media and others just recycle that idea and adapt it to their BIG IDEA!
