Catching up on old news

Back from hols and time to catch up on old news I quite like.

1. Ning.

This is great.  You can create your own Social Network. I see there is a Market Research one. Thinking about setting up one for more junior researchers. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Harrod’s Posh Pot Noodle

It sells for 30 quid and not a quid, like it’s non-posh cousin. It’s also a collector’s item, selling 100 only. It comes in ‘Poulet and Champignon’ flavour only - no  ‘Bombay Bad Boys’.

 A one-off but it gets people talking about your brand for a bit and ticks the ‘memorable marketing’ box.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Heinz Deli Mayo

No balls. To appease global head quarters in the USA and 200-300 whingers, Heinz have offended the 2-3 million gay and lesbian community in the UK. TV advertising should have stand-out. That meanz being daring, brave and breaking eggs to make an omlette (or Deli Mayo).

4. Uniqlock Won award at Cannes I hear. Take a look at the link. Thanks for pointing out Will. Looks great but still trying to get it to work on my blog. Any ideas anyone?
