Notas do Editor
- This month has brought several examples of marketing trends; while we looked at shock value as good PR last month when Abercrombie and Fitch tried to snag customers by ditching “The Situation”, JC Penny came under fire for shock value for controversial, bad PR.
- Worth repeating: ThisAIDA formula is a standard framework for marketing, especially advertising strategies. Such efforts are part of the care and feeding of your target audience. By drawing attention to the message and ending with an action item (as opposed to the “raising awareness” protocol), you’ll better reach marketing goals by establishing trust, building community, and fostering engagement.
- Last residency we talked about how A & F offered to pay “The Situation” to stop wearing that label. As another back-to-school marketing gaffe, JC Penney offered the above t-shirt and immediately faced a Twitter and Facebook backlash that caused them to pull the item with the quick posting: “We are sorry, but this product is not available at this time."
- Other online protest petitions onchange.org: Urban garden in Memphis ordered dismantled after a neighbor complained (6,214 signatures); Tell Mastercard to stop supporting the live dolphin trade (2,553 signatures); Join APA Alliance to bank shark fin in California (26,647 signatures); and Turn a 30-year-old organic farm in Maryland into a food education hub, not soccer fields.
- CEO Reed Hastings avoided traditional media by using a YouTube clip and customer emails to announce the separation of its video-streaming and DVD-by-mail businesses. Result: Business profits dropped by 50%, customer backlash, parodies, and resulting blog entry and video as apology.
- Turned into one of the biggest crisis comm case studies of the year. (Dissect the italicized quotation…does that apology sound sincere?) Oh…and Netflix also forgot to see if the @Qwickster Twitter handle was available. It’s not. It’s used by a Jason Castillo who “likes girls, getting fit, and smoking weed”. (Another eason to make sure you claim your own name before somebody else does.)
- Occupy Wall Street: Saturday, Sept. 17, 5,000 Americans marched with flags and and banners to occupy America’s “Financial Gommorah”. Police arrests caused several hundred to build encampment but have wavered on more movement, although website tallies daily arrests. International solidarity: When protesters tweeted their hunger, over $2,800 in orders poured into a nearby pizza restaurant for delivery to the Wall Street Occupiers.Tar Sands Action:
- Plus, the individual Ignite presentations about the team’s marketing plan will be during fourth residency!
