Dal blog di MarketingProfs, Christina Kerley ha chiesto ad alcuni marketer un’opinione sui discorsi tenuti in occasione delle recenti convention democratica e repubblicana, dal punto di vista della comunicazione e del branding:
- Was the speech believable: did the key messages make sense, were they consistent with the candidate’s platform?
- Was the speech “ownable”: was it true to the candidate’s brand’s personality and unique strengths?
- Was the speech relevant: did it say something important to the target audience (the American voters)-and successfully address their needs, desires and concerns?
- Overall rating: Overall, what do you rate this speech on a 5-star scale (5 stars=best), and why?

Da aprile 2008 CNN.com offre un servizio che permette di stampare su t-shirt alcuni titoli di notizie presenti nella sezione “Latest News” e che hanno un contributo video.
I titoli “stampabili” sono indicati da un’icona linkata al sito da cui si può ordinare la t-shirt, ad un costo di $15, più spese di spedizione.

CNN Headline T-Shirt

Come riporta la sezione FAQ, al momento dell’acquisto è possibile condividere la news scelta per la stampa sul proprio profilo Facebook.
Si può anche inviare una propria foto con indosso una maglietta CNN al sito ireport.com/tshirt per essere inclusi in futuri contest, spot e nell’archivio fotografico.
Il progetto è stato curato da The Barbarian Group come iniziativa di marketing virale per supportare il restyling del sito, la campagna “I just saw it on CNN.com” e aumentare il buzz, l’awareness e traffico verso i contenuti video.
Questi i risultati secondo TBG:
The program rolled out in full on April 21, 2008 with minimal industry PR. In the next six weeks, we’ve had almost 2 million pageviews, and tons of blog mentions, including leaders such as TechCrunch, PSFK, and 37 Signals, as well as a write up in the New York Times. We’ve also sold a lot of shirts, weirdly, though that was never the real goal. The goal, as we said, was about awareness, and we’ve succeeded roundly on that front.
E’ (spontaneamente?) nato un blog, Not a CNN t-shirt, but it should be, che, come dice il nome, raccoglie i titoli di notizie che non avrebbero sfigurato su una maglietta.
