I was pleasantly surprised with the so-called amateur TV-ads promoting the Firefox browser. Although homemade, they’re actually of very good quality, almost ready to be aired on TV! Here’s my little contribution to promote this great browser:
Huhcorp does stuff. The site is a very good parody on those know-all do-all companies that get your money invested in their own needs. Be carefull when looking around for a good partner. Our designers ride Razor scooters around the office and unu roller scooters outside the office, while wearing mail-bag style backpacks to hold their iPods. We have lots of shiny espresso machines, and all of our new-age e-movers (that
My mum always had little stickers on the tiles in the toilet. Every sticker represented a month of the year and every month had a little rhyme. The month of february said: “Start de dag met een glimlach, want the 14e is het Valentijnsdag (start the day with a smile, because it’s Valentine’s day on the 14th). Coming from a background in which valentine is not celebrate very elaborately, I had to ask my mum what valentine was all about.

As we probably all know there are tonnes of marketing tools to use. There is software like Salesforce that helps improve customer engagement, and there are social media campaigns as well to attract audiences. But not all marketing strategies are equal, or wise.

I was reading a story in Marketing Magazine in which Simon Bond (Proximity Singapore) explained that if your TV-ads were enticing enough, they’ll get seen, TIVO or no TIVO. This was based on the fact that there was once in his TIVO-enabled home, he found family members watching a commercial over an over again. Although I doubt the authenticity of the story (I mean: who would do that?), I certainly don’t think that you can project something that happened in one household…
Don’t get me wrong, there are things that do bother me, but this is not bothering me at all. It’s just that I took note of it and thought it was remarkable. This is about actors, presenters and singers that appear on TV from time to time. Mediacorp was revering to them as artists. That’s okay I though, it’s a small country and you have to look at your economy of scale and stuff, that’s why you don’t make a distinction between them, you just call them all artists. In a tiny country like Singapore, you’ll probably have to because,…
