The Swords without Birds Grand Finale Gig! (and curry night) Tuesday 15th May 2012

autocontent — Mon, 14 May 2012 22:08:00 +0000

Right, listen up! So it’s your last chance (maybe ever) to come and listen to these cool cats do their thing. 3D Rob is off to surf camp and the one and only Matt Swords is going galavanting around the rest of Europe in search of enlightenment. We’ve loved having them play their music and the rest this season but the time has come to say goodbye. So in memory of the great Birdy and to say farewell to the brothers Swords come to Monkey and boogie to their music and drink to their health for long live the Birdy and forever be the Swords! 9.30 start, don’t be late!

Utah Tourism launch unique ad campaign on San Francisco subway

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 09:37:00 +0000

Visitors to San Francisco’s Montgomery Street Station have recently been treated to a unique viewing of one of Utah’s scenic icons, Delicate Arch. It’s all part of the Utah Office of Tourism‘s USD2.2m ‘Utah Life Elevated‘ advertising campaign. Utah Tourism’s advertising agency, Salt Lake City-based Struck, unveiled a one-of-a-kind outdoor advertising effort that focuses on bringing San Franciscans to Arches National Park. This great video shows how effective it was at engaging pedestrians, who stopped to take photos, scan QR codes and simple marvel at what they had just seen.

Sunshine Village celebrate their Facebook fans instead of alienating them

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 06:09:00 +0000

It wasn’t so long ago that Sunshine Village were the villains. After their epic social media fail in January 2011, there was a large amount of negativity attached to the brand. That certainly hasn’t all gone. The Support Ski Patrol wronged by Sunshine Village Facebook page is still active and has almost 8000 fans. However, where once Sunshine Village simply took their Facebook page down to prevent their fans ‘engaging’, now they are celebrating them. Almost every day since March, they have been changing their Timeline Cover Photo to include the ‘Sunshiner of the Day’ – a great way to keep your fans engaged and feeling connected to the brand.

Mattel send Barbie bald after Facebook campaign

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 20:13:00 +0000

In our current social media led world, brands need to be continually monitoring what is being said about them online. Toy manufacturer, Mattel, recently did wonders for their own brand loyalty by responding to a parent-inspired Facebook page called ‘Beautiful and Bald Barbie! Let’s see if we can get this made‘ for children who have lost their hair through illness or cancer. The page launched on 20 December 2011 and went viral. Within days it had 2000 fans. Now it has almost 160,000. In March 2012, Mattel announced that they would produce a bald version of the fashion doll. It will not be sold in stores, but will be distributed to children’s hospitals next year. Mattel said that it made the “decision not to sell these dolls at retail stores and profit from them, but rather more directly and immediately get these into the hands of children who can most benefit from a play experience with these dolls.” By listening to what their customers have been saying about them, and – most importantly – responding, Mattel have generated a tremendous amount of brand loyalty.

STA Travel success with ‘Win a Job in Australia’ Facebook campaign

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:12:00 +0000

At Skipedia we are always looking out for great practice on Facebook. STA Facebook app is one of the best This great competition app currently running on the STA Travel Facebook page is one of the best we’ve seen. Developed in partnership with Tourism Australia, the campaign has been designed to increase youth travel to Australia. The app is nicely presented on their Facebook page, with a strong call to action on the app image, but it’s once you click through the fun starts, as you are welcomed by their ‘careers advisor’ Ned. Ned delivers great engagement It would be lovely if we could all invest in a design heavy campaign like this, but we’ve seen plenty of attempts that have cost enough, but failed completely. This works because it is incredibly ‘sticky’ (to use a phrase from the Noughties). The design is clear and the calls to action are obvious. Ned is so engaging that you keep watching and ultimately you are almost compelled to ‘like’ the page. You never know, if we’re lucky, we might just win a working holiday to Oz…
