Carnival of Marketing - Episode #1

As committed, the attached posts are part of my volunteering for Carnival of Marketing between Septmber 24 and October 1st. These posts are from people who submitted their posts for public consumption or were linked to those who did. I agreed to post for this week and next.

Here are the 7 posts for the week from the Carnival's marketing experts and pundits:
 

I) Tam Hanna touts an “ideavirus” video promoting Icemat headsets and a provocative Austrian buzz campaign for Bahlsen Cookies involving nurses

 

 

II) Nedra Kline Weinreich at Spare Change provides two great articles on Branding for Social Marketers - Part 1 and Part 2

III) Sagar Satapathy at CRM Lowdown provides insight into the Positive Side of Negative Feedback

IV ) Chris Brunner at Great FX Business Cards Posts for Small Business About The Elements of a Winning Brand – short, succinct and true stuff

 

V) Noah Kagan in his “born again marketer” OK Dork posts about a clever guerilla marketing ploy (however dubious) on getting people to be exposed to your brand  in book stores

VI) Devin Reams at Devin Reams.com  exposes the fun 7 Tunes meme travelling through the blogosphere...I promise not to tag anyone on it...

VII) Greg Swann at Bloodhound Realty talks about the nefarious courtship of real estate agents for customers in Butterflies might be free, but home-buyers pay for real estate advice — whether they know it or not . . .

That's it for this week...I may end up scouring for some articles for next week's carnival ...cheers
