innovative

So there you are. Heading a beer brand. You’ve turned into a ‘baldy’ since most of your hair has fallen off due to crazy competition, expensive media investments leading nowhere, a product that is older than your ancestors (I’m talking the ones that lived before we had bikes and shit). Now you want people to drink more of that golden product of yours. What do you do? Advertise? Hell no!

Easy. You stop that advertising stuff you’re doing and launch a product instead. As a matter of fact you launch a bag of crisp to complement your product. Smart as hell. This is exactly what the guys down under at Droga 5 Australia managed to convince beer brand Victoria Bitter to do.

Result then? Better brand visibility in-store very close to the actual beer buying decision. Double your revenues (if it tastes good that is) and on top of that – Salt. Yes, that white little thing that melts on your tongue and makes you crave more…you guessed it..beer!

Now there’s innovative advertising for ya!

Here comes a post that will make you think different. Yesterday I was writing on a blog post suggesting how SAAB and Volvo should think to get out of their problems. The post focused both on product development and marketing. Then today I found one link on Bjornalberts that more or less talked about the same thing in an excellent way. On top of that I found another one on Minegoestoeleven that is sort of connected.

The first one is ‘What if Steve Jobs ran one of the Big Three auto companies?’ and its in English. The other one is ‘Idag gästbloggar Tore Claesson, New York.’ and that one is in Swedish. Both touch on Steve Jobs and what he has done with Apple. Great read both of them.

So, here’s the link to What if Steve Jobs ran one of the Big Three auto companies

Och här har ni länken till Idag gästbloggar Tore Claesson, New York

Bye bye or hej då as we say in Swedish.
