Thinking about entering the Women in Marketing Awards but not quite sure where to start? Well, you’ve got just over a month to put together your entry and it’s simpler than you think.
 
The judges are looking for quality above quantity, so all you need to do is prepare around 750 words describing your marketing campaign and why it makes you a winner. Then, back up your application with supporting evidence such as brochures and images.
 
These hints and tips will help you:

  • Cover all of the entry criteria to give the judges a full picture of your campaign
  • Provide a separate application for each category – you can enter as many as you wish!
  • Stand out from the crowd and get creative!
  • Include testimonials and feedback as part of your supporting material
  • Submit your entry online, don’t send separate hard copies

English marketer down under – chaotic as ever!

Hi there!

Haven’t been in touch for a while as life has been crazy. I have started a new job and my parents were over here for three weeks and they then got stuck in Singapore because of the Icelandic volcano – life has been pretty interesting.

I got invited to a pot luck party the other week. I don’t know about you but I had no idea what that was – but one of my Aussie colleagues explained to me it basically means you go to your cupboard or fridge and bring something from there – bring a plate with a difference I guess. I ended up making cheesecake as I figured people wouldn’t really want alfalfa sprouts and carrots for dinner!

So what’s going on here?

Viral marketing at it’s best

Posted in Advertising, Branding by Stephanie

TrackBack Address.
With the new John Lewis advert making a noise around the viral networks, it’s got to be every marketers’ dream. Create an advert, and then get free coverage as news sites and all sorts of social networking sites post it and talk about it. Perfect!
 
For those of you who haven’t yet seen it, it’s worth taking a look.
 
So, what makes this a good advert? And how has John Lewis managed to hit the nail on the head? One idea is because we can all relate to it. Whether you’re in the older generation and can appreciate each life-stage the advert takes us through. Or whether you’re in your mid thirties and setting out on the path to growing up, getting married, having children. There’s just something for everyone and this could be why this advert works, and how it’s received over 250,000 hits on You Tube to date.
 
But, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so let’s see the difference it makes to sales in their next report to prove its actual success.
 
Have you see any other adverts that have taken the nation by storm? Let us know by posting your comments.

Making Believe

(C) Jakub Hlavat

This was the title for a talk I went to at the ICA last week, about the human instinct towards storytelling and how we react to stories when we’re overwhelmed by narratives.  And these days, stories are all around us.

Individuals, brands, politics and organisations use stories to construct, distract, disrupt, persuade and position.  Why?  Because everyone loves a good story!  It’s one of the ways we make sense of the world and our place in it.  Stories capture our imagination.  They elicit an emotional response.  Stories can literally make us believe.

But how do you tell a good story if you’re creating it for a brand or a cause?

The inspiration behind The Women in Marketing Awards 2010

Posted in Careers, Events, Women in Marketing by CIM GLR
Mar 16 2010
TrackBack Address.
 
The essence of the Women in Marketing event series is to educate, inspire, network and have fun. After five years of annual events, the Women in Marketing Awards seem the next logical step and it also coincides with the 100th year of International Women’s Day. 
 

Ade Onilude, Event Organiser

What inspired me to create the awards? I take inspiration from various facets:
On a very personal level, the awards pay homage to my late mother who I lost at a young age; she was a true visionary who knew no boundaries. My father and brother have been truly supportive in encouraging me to ‘reach for the stars.’ I’ve also been inspired by my work environment at Swarovski where I’ve been honoured to meet true visionaries and innovators. I take inspiration from the famous such as Michelle Obama, the late Anita Roddick, Audrey Hepburn, Women’s magazines and cult TV series such as Sex in the City.
