Humour debunks marketing myths for Adobe

May 13, 2013 by Neville Hobson 

Intelligent humour that doesn't patronize and isn't condescending - it just makes you laugh - surely must be a Holy Grail for marketers when designing their campaigns. If something makes you laugh, particularly because you can identify in some way with the situation portrayed, you're more likely to remember what made you laugh; and, from a brand marketing perspective, you're more likely to talk about it, share your comments online and tell your friends.

Not ordinary babies, though - these are dancing babies and roller-skating babies, all behaving in their body movements and expressions like miniature grown-ups. From a brand marketing perspective, the success behind such campaigns can be seen in metrics like the 17.8 million views to date of … [Read more...] about Your gleeful inner child: a marketing winner for Evian

An experiment in brand story-telling

March 6, 2013 by Neville Hobson 

Since starting this blog in 2006, I've been the sole writer and publisher of content,  making only a couple of exceptions over the past few years with content written by named guest writers. I strongly believe in transparency where disclosure of interest is the default. If I'm in any doubt about whether to disclose something or not, I tend to err on disclose.
