The Power of Youtube

July 3, 2009 · Filed Under General, Marketing, Musings, Videos · 2 Comments

Back in the old days of tri-media and Jurassic buzz-building, you needed big bucks, a very talented PR manager and lots of luck to make it big in whatever it is you want to attain – be it showbiz, business or politics.

Today, all you need is a little bit of video editing knowledge, original content (or talent) and your good friend, Youtube to make it big. Of course, luck still plays a part in the equation but the power of the Internet makes it possible for normal people to showcase their talents and skills to the entire world.

Let me share with you success stories on youtube and HOW YOU can make the difference and start your own youtube marketing/hype campaign.

Yesterday, I just flew back from Cebu from the wild and successful Visayas leg of the LIVE 2009 Regional tour. I promised to post some updates and pics, but allow me to catch up first and blog about the Baguio leg first, our Luzon kick-off of the LIVE 2009 Regional tournaments for all major Level Up games. This is way overdue… am so busy.

Me and the rest of the LU GMs went up to Baguio last June 13 and 14 for 2 days of intense PVP and tournament action. The Level Up site already announced the highlights and the official list of winners.

Meanwhile, here are some of my adventures together with the LU posse in photos…

Brand Name Fail

June 1, 2009 · Filed Under Marketing, Musings · 4 Comments

Being a marketer (and after attending scores of marketing and brand-related seminars), I know that your BRAND NAME is one of the most important factors to success. Having a simple, easy-to-remember, and “impactful” name will make your life easier when you try to sell it.

Think of these brands - Red Bull, Jell-O, Xerox and you’ll know what I mean.

However, there are some brand names that will make you go face-palm.

Check ‘em out.
