I was browsing the strobist.com flickr group before going to bed last Friday night, and I came upon a bizarre and brief contest of sorts. Someone had “sponsored” someone to write a Speedlite kit review–the person with the 18th comment on the thread gets to write the review, and then kit is complimentary.
I got into a “bidding war” with another photographer, an attempt to keep count in the actual comment failed and I ended up winning by a 50/50 chance. Check it out here: [link]
What an interesting idea to engage the community. So much better than more traditional ways of building a brand. Check back in a week or two and I’ll let you know what happens…
For some reason, I really enjoyed Wacom’s corporate branding animation, which intrigued me on the way to check out their tablets. Watch it (and play with it) with the caption/description lower bar on.
It’s so refreshing! Especially compared to brands that have a decade-old website to prove they still exist. Nothing says “legitimate” nowadays but an updated web presence, which we know younger generations use to verify a brand’s image.
Or perhaps I’m a sucker for simplicity and a strong message, and I also enjoy a walk through a forest every once in awhile.
