Why Attend Brand Camp – NYC? To Learn from the Doers vs. Tippers!

Is personal branding important? The answer is yes, but it is more important whom you learn from than the fact you need to learn personal branding. It is becoming more and more difficult for people to standout. With the increasing popularity of social media the Internet is becoming more polluted with noise making it difficult to establish a strong signal. Everyday I read blog post loaded with tips from many individuals with no CASE STUDIES but the so-called magic dusk to transform your life.

‘Imported from Detroit’ Super Bowl Ad: Chrysler + Detroit Win Big

Super Bowl XLV has come and gone, the Packers won, and all we have left is the discussion from the Super Bowl Ads. I wasn’t blown away by most of the Super Bowl ads but there was one ad that totally captured by attention.

That ad was, ‘Imported from Detroit’ it was produced by Wieden + Kennedy one of the coolest ad agencies in the world. They are known for the work they have done historically with Nike and heir most recent success with the Old Spice commercials.

The two-minute Super Bowl commercial, ‘Imported from Detroit’ with local rapper Eminem captured the essence of Detroit and connected with viewers worldwide with over 4M views in YouTube.

Stats from the Ad

  • Brand Bowl Recap: The people voted with their tweets and selected Chrysler, ‘Imported from Detroit’ as the overall winner. (Score: 90, Tweets: 32,514, Sentiment: +16.5%)
  • YouTube Views: 4,514,346 (as of 02/09/11)

According to the Wall Street Journal Chrysler and the Chrysler 200 spiked on auto-shopping web sites. Edmunds.com reports that research on Chrysler models on its web site jumped 328% after the ad appeared.

Does this mean that Detroit is back? Does this mean that Chrysler is back? I don’t think any one commercial alone saves a city, state or company. But I will say the commercial did exactly what it was suppose to do. Create buzz (mostly positive), engage potentials customers, get people sharing content, and driving traffic to their site.

I don’t know how many 200’s Chrysler will sell but I do know but the tagline, ‘Imported from Detroit’ is still ringing in my head.

Super Bowl XLV: Is the Real Game Online or On the Field? #sb45


Where will the real Super Bowl XLV be played? Online or on the field? Or both? The game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers will be played at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but how much of the Super Bowl is about the teams on the field?

Globally people can interact and engage with each other and their favorite brands in real-time. The Super Bowl is the most watched event on the planet year in and year. Last year over 106.5 Million people watched the Super Bowl in 2010 according to Nielsen. This years numbers should surpass last years numbers making it the most watched single day event in history.

This creates a very unique opportunity for brands to reach and engage with customers and to know how they feel about their ads:
