Useful brand marketing (1)

I know, I know, it’s famine or feast for blog posts on Open… and today should be a feast. Having been cold-ridden for a few days I have seriously been able to catch up on my reading. 

A couple of things have caught my eye in the last couple of days that remind me of the “be useful to your networks” mantra I tend to invoke a fair bit.

First off, a post where Nicola Davies talks about Lipton putting up temporary showers in the street in over-heated Romania as an example of “branded utility”. Brilliant.

Nicola also points to a good post I’d not seen before by Jack Cheng, which resonates well with me – and gives an ad man’s point of view on the idea of being useful in your brand marketing.

  1. Kudos for such a nice and informative post. Things have been made clear in simple plain English. No technicalities, no show off, no jargon. Just layman language. Gr8 !

    I would just like to add that one can find similar informative and thought provoking material at InfoMailers.com, which is otherwise a Corporate Newswire Service that distributes corporate press releases to more than 15,000 journalists across India and sends out ‘News Alerts’ to 1.5 million strong net users including top-notch industry leaders from CII, ASSOCHAM, FICCI, NASSCOM and PHDCCI, etc. and also to 500 news websites and newswires globally.

    All releases are invariably crawled by all major search engines including Google and Yahoo !

    It is a tool useful to all corporates and worth trying.
    John
