  • Hey St. Jude

    September 26th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    This is an amazing video, raising awareness for an amazing cause.
    St. Jude is a huge part of the Memphis community, and we love to see the work they put together (but get ready; it's a tear-jerker).

  • Grey Poupon Hearkens Back to Old-School Facebook 'Exclusivity' Concept with New Fan Page

    September 13th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Well, we can't say that it's not a unique approach.
    The mustard company famous for it's 1980's ad featuring a man in a limousine (and the ubiquitous "Pardon me...") has launched a new online marketing component that requires aspiring Facebook fans to earn status in the "Society of Good Taste" before being allowed to 'like' Grey Poupon's page. The app scans the potential fan's personal page to learn about interests, friends, and writing style; from which scan a score is derived that either allows or bars the user from fan status.

    Yes, the elitism is intentional. ”It’s a gamble,” Tom Markham, who helped design the campaign, said. “But we feel like it’s something worth doing because it is so different.”

    One of our foremost goals as The Memphis Egotist is to promote Memphians' work, to one another as well as to the online creative community as a whole.

    Below, check out Christopher Reyes' (of Live from Memphis) video reel. We loved watching it and being able to recognize bits and pieces from video we've all seen around Memphis.

    We love finding great local creative on our own, but the best way to get your work or event featured on The Memphis Egotist is to submit it directly to us. So get on it!

  • A Glossary of Brand

    August 27th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Canadian branding firm Compass360, with their tongue-in-cheek Glossary of Brand, is genius. They simultaneously poke fun at those in the advertising/branding industry and prove their own creative adeptness. This thing is pretty funny.

    For example: a Brandellabra is "an archaic brand with a multi-pronged strategic approach and tendency to fizzle out over time."
    And Brandom? That's synonymous with "a brand that appears out of nowhere, makes no sense, and becomes quickly irrelevant. See also: New Coke, Sarah Palin"

    Read the rest of the Glossary here.
