iPad 2 Predictions
Who’s excited for the iPad 2? I admit it, I am. I recently purchased the iPad, but only the 16GB Wi-Fi version. I was already holding out for the next version of iPad and hoping for some new features, like a camera. The big question is: When is the next iPad coming out and what will it include? An article titled “iPad 2.0: What We Think We Know” by Jonny Evans was posted today on PCWorld.com...

A Taste of Independence, Some Assembly Required
Check out this creative idea for a patriotic cake from 17andbaking.com. It’s perfect for the 4th of July. If you’re ambitious enough to make it, note that it’s best to bake the cake layers the day before and refrigerate overnight. It will be easier to cut, assemble and frost. Enjoy! http://17andbaking.com/2009/07/01/a-little-taste-of-independence/ Posted via email ...

Alice for the iPad Shows Why E-Books Are Cool
I’m a big fan of e-books and my Kindle, but the iPad just made e-books even cooler. It’s like the moving pictures and books from the Harry Potter movies. The latest Alice for iPad app is an interactive experience where you just don’t read it, but you can shake it, stir it and more to bring the story to life. This app is $9 in the App store and there’s a free, lite version too. Pretty good...

Social Media Upends Ski Resort Marketing
Check out this interesting video where CEO Rob Katz of Vail Resorts talks about how they’ve decreased spending on long-lead media in favor of shorter-lead digital and social media efforts. As many of us know in the tourism industry, the consumer decision cycle for planning a getaway has practically become non-existent. People are often planning a trip within a week of the getaway and when it...

Tourism Pays
Visit Denver created a nice YouTube video showing how Tourism means more than visitors enjoying the state. Tourism means more jobs, taxes and a better quality of life. Tourism pays for Denver and Colorado, just like it pays in many other communities. Kudos Visit Denver on the nice video. And, thanks @billgeist for pointing it out. Posted via email from Diane Charno: I’m just...

The Vendor Client Relationship - In Real World...
This video went viral earlier this year. Over a half million people watched it in less than 14 days. Sad, but true – the vendor client relationship has been tough during the economic downturn. Clients are working to get more for their reduced budgets. Of course, you would never ask for these types of “savings” from your favorite restaurant, hair stylist or store. Some of my favorite lines: “I...

Twitter 101 Best Practices Applies to Real People...
Yesterday, Twitter released “Twitter 101”, a special guide for how businesses can use Twitter. It provides a lot of great information on getting started, key terms, case histories and best practices. Although this guide was created for businesses, I think there’s some great information for real people using Twitter, particularly in the best practices section. Below are some best practices -...
Another Good Rule of Thumb from Seth
More smart thinking from Seth Godin. In his latest “Gotcha!” post, he shows how good karma can create more customers and bad karma less. His rule of thumb: “My rule of thumb is this: every person you turn away because your product or service isn’t right for them turns into three great customers down the road. Every bad sale costs you five.” Great rules to market by, don’t...
Charno Seeks New Opportunity
Download now or preview on posterous dcharnoresume.pdf (235 KB) Just as the title reads, I’m in the market and seeking a new opportunity. Last week, Boelter + Lincoln had another round of cuts due to the loss of the Wisconsin Tourism account and I was let go. While I absolutely loved the past 10 years at Boelter + Lincoln, I’m ready for a new chapter in...

How a Simple, Single-Minded "Tourism" Campaign...
Earlier today I shared a post on “A Really Good Job” campaign from Murphy-Goodie. It reminded me of the awesome campaign that Tourism Queensland did with their “Best Job in the World” campaign. It was a huge PR success and did a great job utilizing social media. It has already won some big awards and now it won again at International Advertising Festival in Cannes. Here’s a post from...

A Really Good Job - Vote On The Applicants
Here’s “a really good job” opportunity that I totally missed (not that I could move to Sonoma for six months). Either way, the application deadline has passed, but we all still have a chance to vote on who gets the job. Murphy-Goodie, a family-owned vineyard in Sonoma County, created a website http://www.areallygoodejob.com/ in search of a social media maven to come experience the...
Another YouTube Cover Letter
Here’s a follow up to the “Today’s Cover Letter” post yesterday. This guy’s video was in response to the new Boone Oakley agency website on YouTube. He plays off their story in order to tell his. Unfortunately Boone Oakley’s not hiring for now. Check out his video here: And, here’s the Boone Oakley agency site on YouTube: Posted via email from Diane...
Today's Cover Letter
Social media is really changing how people apply for jobs, especially in the ad world. Rather than a standard cover letter, resume and portfolio, people are building websites, starting twitter campaigns and even posting youtube cover letters. Here are two recent examples of people trying to get jobs at Crispin Porter + Bogusky:
1) Last month, Chris Kahle (http://twitter.com/chriskahle) launched...
Social Media Smackdown - DMOs
I just came across a great post from Mengel’s Musings. She has a social media smackdown series and her latest one compares how two DMO’s (destination marketing organizations) are using social media. She compares Columbus, Ohio to Columbia, South Carolina. Both have an impressive presence on many social media outlets, including facebook, flickr, myspace, youtube, twitter and ...
