Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Here are some of the things I found interesting this week:

Goofiness, and the Wrath of Mama Nature, returns to Los Angeles in the form of The Black Blob that Ate LA.
Andrea Weckerle blogs about the importance of connecting companies with worthy causes in order to get the word out through cause marketing.
KFC comes up with a way to reverse TV ads and draw more mini-sandwich eaters. Are blogger Little Orphan Annie decoder rings next?
ADPulp looks at the use of PR to sell pharmaceuticals by enlisting PR Ambassadors.
For Your Approval takes on the Give Me A Seat at the Table Myth.

I hadn’t read the KFC one, how interesting. I don’t think I will be compelled to watch a commercial in slomo for $1. Little Orphan Annie might be a different story though

I wasn’t interested either, and I didn’t even see the commercial until this afternoon, but when I saw it, it flew by in a fast single frame. So I slowed it down. It was kind of funny that I’d actually go to the work of trying to watch a commercial with my Tivo. I do like the idea of a decoder ring though, or one of those hidden crypto messages in a blog post. I’ll bet that could attract some attention!

So, will you now go all the way and visit the website, get the coupon and go to KFC?

I did! And they sent me a coupon for a dollar. And then I lost it.
