Activism, Good News, Health, Video No Comments »

Activism > Advertising

Summary. In the video below, Steve Nash shares an inspirational message about the synergy of various athletic sports and training.

Traditional advertising places a product or service at the center of attention.

However, a new approach to advertising has become more common where the primary message of the advertisement is about values and virtues that inspire and motivate people toward a hopeful future. This kind of media is a fusion of advertising and social activism.

This approach to advertising has been hugely successful. Formats can take different forms such as a music video or telling an inspirational story. These tend to be organically promoted through people telling people.

Video. Below is a video about commitment and training produced by Nike featuring Steve Nash. The video, produced by Nike, features the upbeat world music song Nyoka Musango featuring Lora Chiorah-Dye & Sukutai from the album Safarini In Transit – Music of African Immigrants. [Available on iTunes]

Glacéau Vitamin Water Hosts Website With Facebook and Launches Steve Nash Funny YouTube Video Campaign

Activism, Good News, Health, Technology, Video, advertising No Comments »

Activism > Advertising | Health > Food | Technology

Summary. Most companies, brands, organizations, celebrities, and musicians have their own dedicated websites. In a break from tradition, Vitamin Water, a product of Glacéau, now has their VitaminWater.com domain address redirecting to the Vitamin Water Facebook Page with a message, “don’t be alarmed, this is our new homepage (for now).” They have started a viral social marketing campaign that includes videos and other media.

New Website Hosting Paradigm. Can several website programmers and costly hosting fees be replaced by a simple, integrated, and free, web hosting solution? This bold experiment by Glacéau may pave the way for companies wanting to save on costly website hosting and have a greater presence on social networks. Here are some of the benefits gained by setting up a website within an existing social network:

  • rather than trying to create a social network component on your website, it’s easier to use an already working turnkey solution
  • people reluctant to signup with just one more website are more likely to join your page if membership requires only a click (assuming visitors already belong to Facebook)
  • the computers and software required to host the site are managed by someone else which saves time and money on upgrades, backups, and maintenance
  • site design and navigation are already configured
  • instant access to millions of people online
  • greater exposure through automated word-of-mouth (word-of-mouse) people telling people when announcements are made on profile pages as people join or become fans
  • you gain valuable demographic information about the people who have an interest in your product

Video. Below are some examples of the videos featuring Steve Nash found on the Vitamin Water YouTube Channel.

Orabrush – Small Business Success Story

Activism, Health No Comments »

Activism | Health

Summary. Orabrush is a success story worth studying.

Robert Wagstaff, PhD, received word that some of the volunteers he was managing were offending people with bad breath. Dr. Bob started studying the causes of bad breath to find a solution. Borrowing from principles he learned while working in a chemical lab, he decided that the only way to remove the bacteria that cause bad breath from the tongue was with soft, flexible, pointed bristles.

Dr. Bob looked at the products out on the market. He found tongue scrapers, toothbrushes, and other such oral hygiene products, but none of them could remove the bacteria. In fact, these merely scraped the top of the bacteria, causing bad breath to resurface faster. He received a US patent (6,792,642) and FDA approval (3005936367). Now everyone can find the peace of mind that OraBrush brings to their social lives.

OraBrush is not designed like a toothbrush because it has individual bristles that are an extension of the brush head. Therefore, OraBrush does not need to be replaced as often. The suggested replacement schedule for OraBrush is every six months, or after a serious infection.

Because OraBrush bristles are individual, flexible and pointed, the material that is removed from the tongue does not stick on the head of the OraBrush. Simply holding OraBrush under a stream of running water will properly clean the OraBrush head. Store so that the OraBrush head will air dry. If you desire, you may dip OraBrush in a sanitizing mouthwash containing peroxide or alcohol.

A toothbrush is made to clean your teeth. The bristles are tufted into the base of the toothbrush head and the ends of the bristles are either flat or slightly rounded. These types of bristles will remove the material that sticks to the surface of the teeth. Your tongue is very soft and tender and the surface is uneven. A toothbrush will remove the top layer of bacteria but will not reach down and remove the bacteria growing in the indentations of the tongue. Applying pressure on the toothbrush may cause harm to the tender tongue surface. OraBrush bristles are individual, pliable, pointed and soft. These specialized bristles will reach down into the indentations of the tongue and loosen and remove the bacteria growing there.

Orabrush Story. Below is a video of the Orabrush success story from the Orabrush Channel on YouTube.
