I don’t tweet for less than $1000, darling

Over the past two days there have been two incidents which really illustrate the PHENOMENAL potential Twitter has for brands and promotion.

2 simple Tweets by sensational teen mediocrity Justin Bieber yesterday afternoon caused the topic of  ‘Maple Syrup’ to top the global trend list. And a tongue-in-cheek in-joke between two friends about a badly judged, insensitive rant by an obnoxious BBC  ‘personality‘ went viral and ended up on the news. Does this scare as much as inspire you? According to various reports 3% of Twitters servers are dedicated to Justin Bieber. This clearly doesn’t mean that he has his own special room or warehouse, just that 3% of everything on Twitter relates to Justin Bieber. Can this be true (or verified accurately) if so I tremble for the future of the world – there are 160 Million Twitter accounts…

Top 5 things we saw in September!

Here are some of the things we’ve been enjoying at P|SF recently.

This time we have a bear, Facebook ‘Likes’ get physical, destroyer burritos, catwalk to consumer fashion, and a nostalgic tune about your old neighbourhood. If you like what you see here visit our blog to see more of the latest work that’s happening in experiential and digital, or drop us a line.

The Tippex Bear.

A new take on an old favourite – Does a bear ____ in the woods?

With a knowing nod to Burger King’s classic Subservient Chicken campaign, Tippex creates a narrative blank to be filled by audience suggested outcomes in this humorous and engaging viral.

The Like Machine

You Like. You swipe.

Here at P|SF opinion is divided – either this is the most amazing way to track consumer behaviour and engage them both digitally and physically, or the most sinister method of data-collection to date – what do you think? The technology and opportunities are undeniably impressive.

The Wilderness Downtown

Arcade Fire and Google Earth take you back to the block

Arcade Fire and director Chris Milk have created an innovative interactive video for their new single The Wilderness Downtown (a P|SF stereo favourite). The clip employs Google’s Chrome OS, Maps and the latest HTML5 technology to take you through a stirring and personalised trip of the streets you grew up on.

The Destroyer Burrito!

Nike & Korean Burritos?? Just go with it.

What’s more natural than Nike and Korean Burritos? Probably a lot of things. But in a crowded marketplace this is a fresh take on social media integration campaigns and it has nice local relevance.

Burberry Live

Fresh from the catwalk to your iPad

English fashion house Burberry continue to break new ground in the digital sphere. Last season Burberry globally broadcast their collection live in 3D. This season customers at selected Burberry stores worldwide will be able to order the clothes directly from runway using an innovative new app.

Is the ASA going to try and tame the digital beast?

Interesting to see that from March 2011 the ASA will have regulatory powers (similar to those it has for traditional advertising) over brand controlled online activity. Its powers will cover brand controlled website content, banners, Twitter and Facebook pages.  As a result of these powers UK consumers will be able to complain to the ASA about content issued by brands into any of these mediums

Foursquare Web Data… London’s most popular venue analysis

Another analysis tool has appeared to depict London’s most happening and hip venues… what could these bars, clubs, restaurants, shops, arts venues and parks do to capitalise on their current popularity? Throw an event to thank Four Square users, invite others to join the crowd or will users seek to discover new places and expand the Four Square reach? I guess only time, and a lot more analysis, will tell…
