Good Advertising Sells, Great Advertising Steals your Soul

It steals your soul in a good way. Usually.

Note: Really long ramble about psychology and advertising and random crap that spurned from the “1984″ commercial for the Mac. Only read it if you feel like absorbing my thoughts.

I had a great conversation with someone the other day about what’s missing with the new generation of marketing that’s evolved from traditional marketing/advertising. Many people view the new-ish marketing mediums as a quick way to engage users online, but they don’t really look behind the actual psyche and fundamentals of the company that’s being marketed or the people that are being marketed to. While the allure of “quick, flashy and fun” can be appealing and work to some extent, marketing and advertising will always come down to one key component- Psychology.

'That One'

October 11, 2008 By 1 Comment

Who is ‘that one’ you may ask!? The one, the only….*drum roll pleaaaaase*

Barack Obama!!

During the presidential debate John Mccain kindly (*cough* not so kindly) referred to Barack Obama as “that one”. What he didn’t know was he was throwing fuel into the fire for the media to come up with this WONDERFUL website that makes me giggle everytime I see it. http://thatone08.com/

Please click onto the song bahahaha it’ll get stuck in your head for hours.

That is all. Sorry for the short post.

OH! ALSO!! I know I have lotssss of wonderful readers that like to stalk my blog, so I just wanted to clue you in on the fact that I have a JOBBY JOB! That’s right kids, I have a job writing :) I am the new voice of “Helpmepaymyloans.com” WHICH (aside from the name that sounds a little not so college friendly) is actually a really informative and neato website. I’m covering everything that has to do with the financial sector and making it FUN! I put up one post already and I’ll be attempting to get between 2-4 every week. Go stalk it because the more people that go there, the more sponsors we get, and the more supplementary income I will have to support my coffee habit :)

Also, since I have an extremely high flow of traffic through my website, I’m interested in finding a business or website (big or small) that would like to be featured in that handy dandy little advertising block I have going on. You would be somewhat of a sponsor… We negotiate a very small fee and everyone who consistantly goes to my website will see your advertisement. I’m sure you know how it works. If you’re interested then just shoot me an email at svn@knights.ucf.edu
