Wrap my Zamboni

My wife and I had a great opportunity to attend a Minnesota Wild hockey game the other night. I can't attest to knowing much about the sport, (I was a gym rat) but I do understand the urge to drop gloves and throw a punch. Growing up in northern Minnesota, you have to respect the Zamboni. It was only a matter of time until someone decided the ads the take up the boards migrated to the ice resurfacing machine.

"Feed Your Wild Side", is the tagline for Jack Links beef jerky products. It was a match made in heaven for some marketing manager. Minnesota Wild = big hunting population = beef jerky = BINGO! While I'm on the subject of Jack Links, check out their "Messing with Sasquatch" videos. There should be a warning that if you do indeed run into Sasquatch, proceed with caution.

Mexico: Behind the Plexiglass

When I think of Mexio, I remember all the Spring Break trips that I didn't get to attend. While all my friends were taking intoxicating adventures, across the boarder, I was working a full-time job in the media industry. When I came across the modified moving truck, there was a compelling urge to grab a Tecate and kick back.

Creative street marketing always catches my eye. One of the problems with campaigns that incorporate this type of rubberneck reaction, is the lack of analytics. You can survey this to death, and you will never know the effectiveness of this type of street campaign. Mexico: Beyond your Expectations, go to our website that's plastered on the truck, tell us how you found us (yet another form), and we'll have a vague static on awareness and ROI. Tease me with warm weather, bikinis, and cervezas, but don't tease me with incomplete analytics.
