…is through the stomach!

Hubspot have produced this great complilation of 101 marketing quotes – fantastic for team motivation and inspiration! Also a great example of ‘adding value first’ to engage a prospective audience – love it. Note how they have made it accessible to view, without having to enter any contact details.

We came across this nifty little toy today and wanted to share it with you.

Wordle cleverly generates “word clouds” from your text. You can play around with colours, fonts and layouts or simply let the tool ‘randomise’ and suggest creations for you. There’s even an advanced feature, allowing you to manipulate further.

Here’s a new infographic that’s flying around this week amongst B2B marketers – courtesy of Fast Company. The ‘cozy conference club’ as they refer to it, are the high fliers of the world that meet at these leading industry events. A great illustration of the power of conferences and how meaningful relationships and business is created through face-to-face. No social media or virtual event could ever really touch that.

BrightBull are delighted at the fantastic news of being nominated for the Innovation Award for the Conference Awards 2011 for our recent viral game campaign for client sharedserviceslink.com. Congratulations to the team!

After much anticipation within the conference world, the ‘Conference for Conference Professionals‘ finally took place last Friday 1st April 2011.

Who said print ads were dead?

Following on from my blog this week on the AXA iAd Campaign – well check this one out! This is seriously cool so I thought it was worth sharing.

Following on from my blog this week on the AXA iAd Campaign – well check this one out! This is seriously cool so I thought it was worth sharing.

Check out this fantastic, revolutionary interactive advert from AXA. The print ad entices readers to place their iPhone on the blank space on the page which then brings the story to life! (one downside – the ad is exclusively targeting iPhone users, so missing out on targeting other smart phone users).

This week has been a busy one but I managed to read something quite interesting from Jamie Turner from the 60 Second marketeer. (Quite appropriate for the moment – literally 60 seconds short)

The marketing world was hit with TFM&A this week. Lots of keen marketers under one roof, buzzing around to hear from some of the big names in marketing, do a spot of networking and of course pick up some enticing cupcakes along the way!

Friday was a busy day at BrightBull HQ! But here are the top three stories that stood out for me from last week – a nice marketing pick and mix.

Marketing Magazine loved it.

eConsultancy hates it.

Bright Bull .. well not to sit on the fence, but I think hate is a strong word! Definitely not in love with it, but we’re not joining the YouTube mobsters either!

I read with interest an article in Finextra about Bank of America’s latest encounter with PR cyber-jackers where if you go to bankofsatan.com you will be redirected to the bank’s website.

It was a little bit of social media frenzy this week. So here are my top selections!

An interesting read from The Social Graf – ‘In Egypt, Revolution is a Media Mashup’.

A very good start of the week when I found this great report on econsultancy. A white paper specially tailored for professional services companies, but found that there was a lot of information that one can apply in their B2B social media campaigns.

BrightBull have been keeping very busy over the past few months. With the blink of an eye we’re almost at the end of 2010!

Modern B2B Marketing wrote an interesting article recently that I wanted to share with you all. Something to bookmark and keep at hand for those days when you need some inspiration to the marketing senses! We all need it from time to time and B2B Marketers are certainly not immune from it!
