OK, this is old, from last year, but I’ve never seen it before.

Gothamist: Wii Gets Fit in Central Park
I’m pretty sure Promotion agencies have a list of places and events that get pulled out for every planning session, so we have Wii Fit, Central Park and National Heart Month. You jumble them again for the next time. I’m not that these aren’t good, it’s

This weekend, the fourth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise opens in Cannes. The marketing juggernaut has been going for months - a huge part of the main audience for this movie was not even born 19 years ago when the The Last Crusade came out. The web wasn’t there either, so this […]

As well as doing the tying in the EOS450 with Euro2008 with The Assignment, Canon have launched a sweet little football game with associated draw, at You Can’t Keep a Good Fan Down. Play the game, or just enter the draw to win a VIP ticket to see Switzerland/Portugal (I think my money is […]

A pitch email with some interesting stats.

This was a standard press release, in the usual corporate language, about how Blyk has now signed up 100k users 6 months ahead of the stated schedule. Blyk is a mobile network that is targeted at 16-26 year olds. They get free minutes and text from the […]
