Mr "Positioning" & Daughter
It's always well worth checking out the "video-reports" from Al Ries e Laura Ries at "The Ries Report. Keeping marketers focused."
An ambushed Kleenex
Do you remember the recent "Go let it out" campaign from Kleenex, the one where people were invited to let their emotions out in exchange for a tissue?
Well Greenpeace also wanted to share and let the fact out that Kleenex is responsible for vast old-growth forest destruction in Northern Canada.

"Food for thought"
"If the idea doesn't have emotional significance for us, we're not likely to store it, and therefore it won't be available for later recall."-- Gerald Zaltman, How Customers Think
"Playground bitching"
Don't you just love a nice slice of pop culture?
"Cheryl, if you're reading this, I may not be as pretty as you, but at least I write and sing my own songs without the aid of Auto-tune. I must say, taking yopur clothes off, doing sexy dancing and marryng a rich footballer must be very gratifying, your mother must be so proud, stupid bitch."

"The threat"
"NEW YORK; April 16, 2007 – Media and entertainment executives see the growing ability and eagerness of individuals to create their own content as one of the biggest threats to their business, according to results of a survey released today by Accenture (NYSE: ACN).In its annual survey of senior executives in the media and entertainment industry, Accenture examined the growth strategies of companies across the landscape of advertising, film, music, publishing, radio, the Internet, videogames and television."
A threat? To whom? The music and TV studios? The agencies? Indeed, facing a threat will be those brands that are not supplying the consumers with the right tools in order to get them emotionally involved in the shapping of the brand, but instead they're just telling them to buy the brand.
