Hace ya unos dias que la marca Italiana Benetton lanzo su controversial campana “Unhate”; pero, esta campana esta hecha en realidad para fomentar la paz y ayudar a su fundación “Unhate”? o simplemente una forma de hacer mucha bulla para una marca que ha estado perdiendo popularidad entre los jóvenes?.
Si en realidad esta campana fue creada para fomentar la paz, podría mostrar a las mismas figuras publicas jugando un partido de soccer juntos o agarrados de las manos en una montana rusa; pero fomentar la paz faltando el respeto no es una manera muy adecuada desde mi punto de vista. Cualquier diseñador o profesional que sepa de estrategia de guerrilla marketing sabra que la campana tuvo su resultado y fue exitoso; las campanas de guerrilla son creadas para tener efecto en uno o dos dias y despues pedir disculpas publicas; hace unos anos microsoft ensucio las calles de New York con su logotipo de mariposa “MSN” y las coloco por miles de lugares, al dia siguiente pidio disculpa y mando a limpiar las calles de la ciudad; hoy Benetton pide disculpas y manda a remover las imagenes del Papa Benedicto XV y Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb; ya la campana cumplio su funcion y la directiva de Benetton lo sabe; pero al costo de crear mas odio en el mundo, pero eso no importa, lo importante es el exito hacia la empresa.
Bueno Senores de Benetton por mi lado perdieron un fiel seguidor a sus campanas y un creyente de su causa y su marca; y asi como me perdieron a mi, perdieron a mi familia como consumidores. No estoy de acuerdo en invadir la moral de otros para sobresalir uno; soy Catolico, Venezolano y ahora residente Americano, y me senti ofendido directamente; para muchos quizas esta campana solo les dio risa, para otros solo pusieron cara de mmmm… pero en realidad una empresa internacional debe dar el ejemplo y luchar por principios sociales como ellos dicen hacerlo, no hacer lo que en realidad hicieron; que quede claro no estoy en contra para nada de la homosexualidad al contrario la apoyo; el problema es crear una imagen que haga parecer a una persona lo que esta no quiere ser.
En realidad no odio a Benetton, es solo una forma de expresarme para mostrar como lograron lo contrario a una sensacion de paz en mi.
Para cerrar lo unico impresionante de esta campana, es el trabajo de retoque y montaje fotografico el cual es de muy alta calidad, paciencia y tiempo. Pero para la directiva creativa de la campaña lo unico que pudieron crear fue como llamar la atencion de manera grotezca y muy rapidamente; Benetton eso es muy facil de verdad, dificil es hacerlo por el camino correcto; llamar la atencion del publico corriendo desnudo en una plaza es muy facil, dificil es hacerse notar de manera positiva.
Nota: Esta es mi opinion personal y no tiene relacion con mi trabajo o la empresa en que laboro.
Have you seen this image?
This is a QR code, or in others words a type of bar code.
Most current mobile phones can read this code with their camera. All you have to do is having a camera phone equipped, and with the correct reader software you can scan the image of the QR code. For example i have a G1 google phone that has an Android operating system which supports the use of QR Code by natively including the bar code scanner. Click here for information about this application http://code.google.com/p/zxing.
If you want to try, follow these steps:
1) Install a QR scanner app on your smartphone. Search the Web for “QR Reader” and the model of your phone to find a scanner app; they’re available for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Nokia, BlackBerry, and other app-based phones with a camera built in.
Once you’ve got a scanner installed, point it at a code to give it a try, like the image above (you already add us in your contact list, and typing was not necessary)
2) Make your personal or company QR code. This QR code generator can embed a URL, text, a phone number, or an addressed and ready-to-send SMS message into a QR code.
Have a nice scanning day.
What is twitter?
Twitter is without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now… It is easy and friendly to use. It is also an excellent tool to do business, friends and networks, and allows to write quick short messaging (until 140 characters) without the pressure of a response that you get with instant messaging. The fact that really impress is how many people have twitter? 18 million by the end of 2009… WOW 3 times more since March 2009.
Why do i need a twitter account?
Here a re 10 reasons (Source: Cybermark).
1. Strengthen your online presence.
2. Strengthen your brand.
3. Personalize your company’s identity.
4. Interact directly with existing or potential customers and clients.
5. Target potential customers and clients in your city, state or region.
6. Target potential customers or clients who are specifically interested in a product or service like yours.
7. Promote your website, blog, Facebook page or other online venue.
8. Share company updates, new products and specials.
9. Search tweets for people looking for your product or service, then reply or direct message them about your product or service.
10. Include within your updates keywords relative to what you do so that you’re tweets will be listed when fellow tweeters do a Twitter search.
And… why do i need a twitter background?
If you have a brand, you need a twitter background; if you want to have online presence, you need a twitter background. Twitter’s background is a fast way to show the world who you are and what does your business do?
If you don’t have a background, you might be losing potentials clients, just because you are not projecting what you. It is also very important to keep in mind the resolution of the background, remember that each computer have different screen resolutions, you need the one that work in any resolution.
