Here’s a bit of a fun for a Friday, I love this video and it has been so successful the company has already raised $10million. If a brand doesn’t take itself too seriously it can capture the public’s imagination. Now be honest – wouldn’t you love a client to sign off a video of this nature? Just think of the amount of fun you could have. The bumf: Dollar Shave Club couldn’t be simpler. Select one of our great razors, pay one low monthly fee, and we send ’em right to your door. No more over-paying for fancy brand name ... Read more

I love this short clip, in it Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy hit back at Fox News during a press conference here in the UK following the London Premiere of their new film. You can’t tell me you haven’t seen the publicity for it as these two have been doing the rounds on every TV and radio show going. Fox News had publically criticized the film for supposedly pushing a ‘dangerous liberal agenda’ at kids. Which in my view is ridiculous. I love the fact that the Muppets hold press conferences – we should get these guys back on ... Read more

I had to share this video as I spotted this campaign on the news this morning and I think it is a brilliant campaign from the British Heart Foundation that has combined humour with a serious issue. Many people in the UK don’t know how to give CPR when someone is in cardiac arrest and the idea of doing it to the music of Staying Alive is just genius as it makes memorable. If it saves one person’s life it will be a campaign worth doing and I think it has been executed beautifully. They have gone all out on ... Read more

I spotted this on Twitter this morning shared by Simon Apps. Its a song all about Gillian McKeith and her troubles on I’m a Celebrity. It’s one of the most amusing things I have seen in a while and I had to share it. I hope you like it.

It’s been a busy few months over in the our office, we have scooped a number of new social media accounts and we also have a few new team members who will be revealing themselves to you shortly I expect. I don’t normally cover that many case studies on the blog but I decided recently that I am going to try and do more of this. This is mainly because when I have been speaking at events, people really seem to prick up and listen more at the case study section. I think most people prefer to here about practical ... Read more

This has amused me this morning, BBC correspondent Nick Robinson was filming a link for the BBC on Wednesday when a protestor decided to put his placard right behind him on a live link to the studio. Sadly Nick didn’t like this very much and lost his temper and it has become a bit of a YouTube hit. He has posted about it yesterday on his blog which says: If you were watching the 6 O’Clock News last night, you may have seen a “Troops Out” sign on a large pole being waved behind my head. I have a confession. ... Read more

I had to share this today as it made me smile, Tom Murphy placed this video on his blog at it cheered me up no end. How many of us have seen pointless PR embargoes? Well this video pokes fun at them and the world of social media marketing – genius. Embargoes

The musician Dave Carroll was taking a trip to Nebraska when he and his band members noticed that their guitars were being broken outside. After complaining to the culprits (United Airlines staff) and getting nowhere he decided to write a song which I have to admit is pretty catchy. It turns out that the song is so catchy that 3.7million people have now watched his video and it has propelled him to a new level of stardom. In fact, the track is in the top 20 in Canada. It just goes to show what a good idea, some humour and ... Read more

If you haven’t seen it yet, here is the latest viral doing the rounds from Evian, which has secured almost 6.5million views on YouTube.

You all know how much I like a good viral, well Samsung is reportedly about to release a new 12 mega pixel HD camera (WB1000) next week and to generate some excitement it has released this clever viral video. Real or not real – you decide? Either way it’s very entertaining – so hat tip to the creators.
