THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BANKING CAMPAIGN FOR CREDIT APPLNS

In an effort to keep making horrible ads that have nothing to do with whatever Burger King’s brand identity is they’ve come out with this ..

Let’s not forget their past insulting work here, Mexican get sizzled, and here, Slap that booty.

Obviously the only branding strategy Burger King can come up with is to be controversial. Brilliant.

So I’m out of the Burger King loop. They obviously want people in the business to write negatively about them because what women is gonna run out and buy this sandwich now? And do men really think they’ll get a blow job? No, the only thing Burger King wants is press, so stop giving it to them, they don’t deserve it.

Ads are meant to do one thing…sell product, period.

Online Ads | The Spending Blip in 2008 | Los Angeles Times

Remember when Internet marketers said theyd be immune to the recession because online advertising is more accountable? Well, it hasnt quite worked out that way.

Internet advertising revenue was $5.5 billion for the first quarter of 2009, a 5% decline from the same period last year, according to a report released this morning from the Interactive Advertising Bureau.

The 10% decline from the fourth quarter, when revenue surpassed $6 billion for the first time, is the biggest decrease, percentage-wise, since at least 2001.

“The first quarter was really freak-out time this year,” said Jose Villa, founder of Sensis, a Los Angeles interactive ad agency. “Everybody just slammed on the brakes.”

Companies were deciding whether they should even advertise, he said, because they thought it might look bad to be spending on marketing in a tough economic climate.

“It was an unusual three-month period,” he said. “It wasn’t really rational, and it went across all media.”

Twitter Confirms Paid Pro Accounts On The Way

More revenue for Twitter on the way: The company confirms — for the first time weve seen, at least — age-old theories that theyll sell commercial accounts to power users or companies using Twitter.

In exchange for a fee, companies could get “more features” on Twitter, the WSJ reports. Twitter cofounder Biz Stone tells the WSJ that the company recently hired a product manager to help develop those accounts, but doesnt specify what the extra features will be or when the accounts will launch.

This makes perfect sense. Theres a lot of stuff companies would pay Twitter for, such as a way to verify the company reps legitimacy; to more analytics and information about who is reading their Twitter page; to better tracking features to see what people are saying about their company.

What would you pay for an account like this? We could see a lot of companies paying $10 or $20 a month for the service, even for simple tools. But we could also see many companies — Comcast, JetBlue, Starbucks, etc. — paying more than one hundred dollars per month for really good, insightful tools.
