14 - Tourism Whistler Media Room

Tourism Whistler Media Room


The problem with many news releases is that words may not communicate what you want to get across. One of the reasons this happens is because words by themselves leave much ambiguity to the reader's imagination. The author's words need something complimentary that can make the story feel more tangible. So, instead of solely writing about something of interest, you should also show it. Tourism Whistler uses images in their press releases brilliantly.


There is also a "Story Starter" section, which sort of makes the job of the press easier and it gives them a reason to write about Tourism Whistler. The news is not going to print stories that they think are unimportant; instead, they are going to be selective with what they pick.

Another thing that Tourism Whistler does well is their use of hyperlinks. They use hyperlinks quite frequently in case the press would like to further information.

The one thing I don't like about the page is that the news releases don't appear on the home page. While I do think the news releases deserve their own page, I still believe there should be a new release section on the home page that can redirect to the news release page.

Colin Kaepernick Stars In Nike Advertisements The photo above is from Colin Kaepernick's Twitter page . Recently, Colin Kaepernick (former NFL quarterback) was hired to appear in Nike's 30-year anniversary of the "Just Do It" ad campaign. Nike featured Kaepernick in a photo ad which reads "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything" over his face and in a two-minute video produced by Nike called Dream Crazy . Primarily, Kaepernick serves as the narrator for the ad, until the last few seconds where he shows up and says "So don't ask if your dreams are crazy. Ask if they're crazy enough." If you don't pay attention to sports, aren't culturally aware, or been living under a rock for two years, then you know that Kaepernick was the first person in the NFL to take a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality against African-Americans. When Kaepernick's contract with the San Francisco 4

1 - Two Companies That Do A Good Job At Social Media

Wendy's Negativity runs rampant on social media, so if you're a business the best way the cut through it is with positivity, and the best way to be positive is to be funny. When Wendy's isn't marketing their food the traditional way, they are the king of silly tweets. Kind of like this one: Wendy's has plenty of tweets like this one, and they tweet on a consistent basis. While these tweets aren't necessary, they remind people that there are people behind the keyboard. In other words, it makes Wendy's look less like a stereotypical, evil, emotionless corporation whose only concern is to maximize profit. It also doesn't hurt that they have 2.77 million followers on Twitter. Charmin It's good to know what you are, and so does Charmin. You can't market yourself super seriously when you sell a product that cleans your rear-end. So why not post funny hashtags like "#replacesongtitlewithpoop"?  They have a following of 80.3

10 - Apple (1984 Commercial)

Image
Why 1984 won't be like 1984 This Super Bowl ad started everything for Apple, and more impressively, Apple never shows the product that they are selling. The commercial is inspired by George Orwell's famous book 1984 . The video is of the character "Big Brother" giving a speech to an unemotional, obsequious crowd via television. Big Brother is the leader of this dystopic society and wants uniformity amongst everyone. However, a person, dressed differently from everyone else in the group, is running with a sledgehammer towards the screen that Big Brother is being projected on. During her dash toward the screen, she is being chased by the "Thought Police." The runner gets close enough to Big Brother, so she stops running. She then throws the sledgehammer at the screen which destroys it and ends the control Big Brother had over the crowd. After this, the narrator reads off the screen saying "On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And
