Storytelling: can Jochem de Bruyn survive social media?
Rabobank is one of the leading financial institutions in The Netherlands. Known for their provincial, co-operative and modest background they challenged the large international banks with a story.
The story of Jochem de Bruyn.
It did very well for Rabobank for a long time in the early stage of this century. It was undeniably true that this story had lifted Rabobank in that timeframe to a very enviable position in the Dutch financial market. And Jochem de Bruyn contributed hugely to that uplift.
The common and straightforward Dutch guy was recognized and trusted by the Dutch 'John Doe'. And his message was very actual indeed.
Storytelling did it's work and Rabobank was considered the most trustworthy bank in…
3D campaign BMW proves joy
It's hardly any use mentioning all 3D projection campaigns currently out there, but I do think this one is worth having an extra look at.
BMW stands for joy, it says. I believe BMW couldn't have thought of a more convincing and straightforward statement to counter the 'green development' without being a real bully and being true to itself. And just look at the projection and the way people are captured and the look on their faces. Exactely, pure joy...
The first thing that really stands out with this installation is that it’s set…

Social Media Campaign: Old Spice
The Wieden & Kennedy Old Spice campaign has evolved to dominate discussion in social media, in what is sure to become a very interesting case study.
'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like' spot from Wieden + Kennedy Portland was launched in February during the Super Bowl. It featured Isaiah Mustafa, a former NFL athlete, being totally awesome and became an almost immediate hit online. It has since racked up almost 13 million views on YouTube, with a couple new iterations launched in recent weeks.
Yesterday, however, the marketing campaign took a different turn and really got proper social media right savvy. It’s been updated and sees Isaiah Mustafa respond directly to YouTube comments, Tweets, Yahoo! Answers and blog posts about him in 117 publicly available, timely and personalised video messages.
To ensure maximum coverage Old Spice replied to some of the most popular personalities on Twitter, such as @Biz (Twitter co-founder), @ryanseacrest (TV personality), @kevinrose (Digg founder), @Alyssa_Milano (actor), and @guykawasaki (social media thought leader).

Edelman launches AR for Ben & Jerry’s
Edelman launches an augmented reality campaign for Ben & Jerry's.
The concept chosen is a game kind of way to explore the contents of a pint of ice cream.
The not surprising question of Brian Morrissey is:
'Can PR firms create too?'
My take is the woman is so incredibly annoying I wouldn't share her.
I truly admire Edelman, but if i had to answer Brian Morrissey's question I'd say:…
Will Facebook Credits be a hit?
In the US, kids can soon update Facebook credits at Coinstar machines thanks to Rixty.
Will Facebook Credits and Rixty pull it off to monopolize the monetization in social media?
Neil Vidyarthi interviewed Ted Sorom, Founder of Rixty.
Rixty is a great service where you drop change in a something resembling an arcade cabinet, and the money goes towards virtual currency and virtual goods for online games.
Staying true to their commitment to simplifying the virtual currency process, they’ve announced that thousands of ‘CoinStar’ machines around the country will now accept spare change and convert it to Facebook Credits.
Rixty is an interesting monetization company hovering around the social gaming space these days. The idea would…
Drama: best source for trusted brands
Ever wondered why the one brand speaks right to your heart and others don't?
It has all to do with drama. Lives that don't turn out as good as some of us wished and where people have their own basic concerns to worry about. We trust those people don't we?
Any ambitious brand marketeer should take life as seriously as that average man does.
The point is he doesn't.
And there aren't many creatives around either that do, most of them born with a golden spoon and inspired by lifting the average…
10 steps: start a social media strategy
All strategies I've seen sofar seem to be wrong.
No, I am serious. 97% of social media strategies are based on doing, rather than being.
And since social media are about people and communication, every brand ought to know that every strategy should start with the question 'why?'.
Exactely, just like Simon Sinek explained very convincingly.

2. Analyze your internal communication value
3. Analyze your audience
4. Set rules of engagement
5. Set your social graph
6. Divide pesonal vs. product

10.Go offline
Social media and organic communication are beyond doubt increasingly important. But as the proliferation of social media platforms grow, participating can turn into little more than a giant time suck without some sort of…
