Is the Business of Business, Business?

Posted on 5:30 PM by Unknown
We’ve recently spent a great deal of time in various units discussing the ethical responsibilities of organisations, and in particular, looking at whether the business of business is just business, and nothing beyond this. The arguments supporting this notion suggest that businesses already drive the economic welfare of a nation, and in doing so support employment, infrastructure, and both supply

Monopoly No More

Hungry Jacks is throwing down just as much heat as their new counter campaign claims - Get your free food at Hungry Jacks instead of at ‘You Know Who.’ How much more clever and ruthless can you get?

Hungry Jacks seems to be very, extremely, confident in the superiority of their food as opposed to their competitors who are giving out small concessions in their monopoly board game imitation. This

When Beauty & Fashion Collide – Collaborations & Changing Expectations

Posted on 11:16 PM by Unknown
Brand partnerships are no new feat in today’s collaborative marketing environment, and so when NARS Cosmetics announced their next collaboration during London Fashion Week, it came to no surprise that it would be with a fashion designer that closely echoed the brand’s own ethos, and whom they had worked with for many years.

Although not completely obvious, designers in the fashion industry form

City of Melbourne – Re-branding for the Future

Posted on 11:12 PM by Unknown
Having recently just visited Melbourne with Christine, I couldn’t help but notice the prominence of the city’s own branding. Whether it was on event tickets, billboards or magazines, Melbourne had been given a very clear identity, and one that perhaps is a lot more memorable than some of Australia’s other capital cities. 

Re-branded by Landor Associates in 2009, the brief for this project

When it comes to luxury fashion brands I have this overwhelming need to be in the know; whether it’s following changes in their corporate line-up, or obsessively waiting for new campaign images to be released – it’s been somewhat of an obsession of mine to consume this information and catalogue it for later use.

Posted on 11:52 PM by Unknown
Blogging as a full-time job, in this day and age, is no new concept. There are countless blogger success stories out there for you to discover; whether it be 'Beauty Guru', Michelle Phan (who not only has her own makeup line, but also regularly collaborates with big name brands such as American Vogue, Lancome, Dr Pepper etc), to fashion blogger 'Tavi' (who started her blog at tender age of 12,

Fake meats, finally, taste like chicken

Posted on 5:02 PM by Unknown


‘Beyond Meat’ is a company that produces plant protein substitutes for chicken and beef. A recent production error, discussed in an article in the New York Times by Stephanie Strom (published on 2 April 2014), proved that the ‘fake meat’ has come extremely far from the flavourless veggie burgers that used to be the only option for non-carnivores. It tastes so real that meat consumers did not

Is QANTAS using internal marketing to strengthen its brand in the tough aviation market?

Posted on 8:24 PM by Unknown
Having recently had the pleasure (and I don't use this term lightly) of travelling to Singapore and returning from Hong Kong with Qantas, I am pleased to say I was both shocked and delighted by my experience.




I checked in feeling sorry for their employees, 5000 of which are to be sacked; none of them knowing who would lose their job, or when. But they did know that they were going to go,

TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More

Posted on 11:25 PM by Unknown
With the co-founding team of One Big Switch, Paul Hunyor and Lachlan Harris, to the rescue, there’s now nothing Australian citizens can’t achieve together. From banking, to electricity, to health insurance: if you help make the switch, the more you can save. The ‘switching’ objectives of this innovative company have their roots in a concept known as co-creation. Co-creation describes the ability

Dare to be “back”

Posted on 9:24 PM by Unknown
Driven by the revolutionary development of technology, digital marketing, and particularly social media, has risen drastically over the last decade. The digital age has made such a large and lasting impact that we tend to expect to see all creative marketing for large brands done in this space.
However, last September, a famous European chocolate brand, Milka, launched a campaign in France and

Rebranding can sometimes work magic for your business

Posted on 9:58 PM by Unknown
You probably noticed the aggressive media campaign for the newly rebranded radio station, KIIS FM from 106.5 MIX FM, back in the December – January period. Promotional material ranging from posters slapped on bus stops, YouTube videos, TV advertising and media announcements of Kyle and Jackie-O’s poaching from 2DAY FM built up sufficient hype for the newly rebranded station’s launch on the 20 of

From Planes to Trains: Famous Aussie Safety Campaign

Posted on 2:41 AM by Unknown
How many dumb ways to die are there? So many! Which is exactly what Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) wants their city-goers and train passengers to keep in mind. Preceding Air New Zealand’s more recent take on updating safety announcements, a Victoria state transportation company decided they needed a viral campaign to help lessen train, platform, crossing and station incidences along their busy rail

Analysing “Compare the Meerkat”

Posted on 4:16 PM by Unknown
This campaign for www.comparethemarket.com (UK) is a brilliant concept that has been rolled out through multiple executions in the UK – 19 to be exact. It featured a TV spot, companion website and social media links. It generated such a buzz amongst the general population in the UK, that it is unprecedented within the Insurance Comparison Industry. It is arguably one of the most successful

A new way to advertise the ‘old school’

Posted on 6:40 PM by Unknown
You can’t really get more old school than a book. So how, in this day and age, can you capture the attention of people with declining attention spans who are addicted to screens and checking their emails?

Bookworld captured my attention on two separate occasions. Now, that may seem pretty normal; we all encounter ads in our day-to-day lives. However, these were two occasions during which I

And the Oscar goes to…Samsung

If there was an Oscar for Marketing, this year the gold statue would definitely go to Samsung. If you have no idea why this is the case, you must have missed the most tweeted "selfie" of all time.

Ultra Reality: What would you do in this situation?

Posted on 3:52 PM by Unknown
LG Meteor Prank
The LG, Korean electronics company created hidden camera prank advertisements to show off the clear image of their HD TV. Unknowing participants showed up to what they thought was a job interview, but were actually walking into the “ultra reality” of the LG TVs. Participants were secretly filmed, and their reactions to the episode have gone viral. LG successfully promoted the

Air New Zealand rebrands safety

Posted on 7:15 PM by Unknown

Air New Zealand is one of those special companies. I know I have a
biased view, as I would definitely classify myself as a loyal customer.
But the fact of the matter is that their new safety videos are creating
quite a stir; a good stir.



 

What began as a way to separate themselves from the competition (and gain the short attention span of  their customers) has now become a tactic that

Tips for International Students

Posted on 9:44 PM by Unknown


I clearly remember my first day of the Master of Marketing program at The University of Sydney Business School last year. I could not sleep during the nights leading up to it. I was nervous, but also very enthusiastic. I had so many questions. Besides general study concerns, there was one question that worried me the most – as an international student, what skills would I have to gain and

Going to places where brands have never been, with GoPro

Posted on 2:18 PM by Unknown


There are a lot of murmurs about Gopro on the Internet at the moment, with many news websites speculating about their plans to take the IPO plunge. However, Gopro seems to regularly generate a lot of attention, as new videos are constantly circulating which showcase not only beautiful scenery and extreme sports, but also the capabilities of the tough little camera.

Are you supporting AT&T or Coca-Cola this Sochi Olympics?

Posted on 7:25 PM by Unknown
The Sochi 2014 Olympics have begun. And despite all the political controversy, I believe that
the Opening Ceremony of the Sochi Olympics was simply stunning. I'm not only
talking about the lush fireworks, but also the hundreds of creative people who
put their hearts and souls into the design, production and performance.


However, the controversy surrounding the human rights

Tugging at Your Heartstrings and Changing the Way We Advertise

Posted on 7:57 PM by Unknown



We’ve probably all watched the 3 minute 22 second video of Chipotle’s Scarecrow. It doesn’t seem like a long time – but for an advertisement on the internet, it’s held the attention of viewers far longer than most.

It’s an inevitable process. With the growth of online campaigns, viral videos, YouTube, Facebook, the cloud and platforms like Hulu and Netflix, the lines between marketing,

Newcastle Brown Ale's Almost Super Bowl Ad is Super Great

Posted on 4:18 PM by Unknown



Newcastle Brown Ale didn't buy any airtime during the Super Bowl. You’d think that would be the end of their Super Bowl 2014 advertising story, but it’s not. Instead, they have made quite a splash through a hilarious campaign about how they almost did – including an endorsement by Anna Kendrick.




I’m not a beer enthusiast (or even a drinker for that matter), but the recent Newcastle Brown

Do you believe in marketing miracles?

Posted on 6:27 PM by Unknown

As the
Christmas season approached last year, my 13-year-old son asked me if Santa
Claus was real.  It made me aware of the
fact that he is getting older, and beginning to question some of the ideas he
previously simply accepted as the truth. 
I procrastinated in giving him a direct answer. Instead, I left my son
wondering if there is something special and unexplainable about the Christmas

The
topic of branding has been weaved throughout the entire fabric of the Masters of Marketing program. In the Innovative
Marketing Strategies unit, we learnt that experiential marketing is a key
factor to brand building as it encourages deeper and more frequent thinking. As

What's your research method?

Understanding
your customer is fundamental to any successful brand. Marketing research seems
to be the key ingredient for many winning stories. Therefore, the big challenge
for marketers is to figure out the right method for the question at hand.

Now, more
than ever, the tool-box for market research is huge. For instance, online
surveys are now used as a knee-jerk answer to just about anything.

New year, new trends

Posted on 5:41 PM by Unknown







No, I’m not talking about what will be
gracing the window fronts of fashion retailers. With a new year come new
resolutions, new habits, and new attitudes. As a marketer, anticipating these
new trends can be critical. For example, while all things digital has been
growing for a while now, the Internet is aflutter forecasting a trend in 2014
that will see people put down their devices.
