10 Signs Your Marketing is Totally Outdated

This mostly comes down to outdated over-the-top sales pitch language. You see it in the retail industry as well as larger organizations that supply their sales teams with scripted programs to sell. Social media has changed the way that we connect, so when people are approached in this outdated style, they really don't like it. Sales teams should learn to connect to people, not sell people. —Caitlin McCabe, Real Bullets Branding

Peace and Oreos, Hand in Hand

Your pupil-dilator of the day: Oreo fêtes the landing of Mars rover Curiosity with a sweet little Tweet showing an Oreo with tracks: the perfect roved-Mars food shot. And so easy to reproduce at home!

Meanwhilst, Curiosity begins his earnest trek after traveling a whoppin’ 18 months to get to the Red Planet. Adam Seltzner, head of Curiosity’s descent and landing team, reports everyone is “rationally confident, emotionally terrified”.

Coca-Cola Unveils A Building That Can Be Played Like A Musical Instrument for 2012 Olympics! 

As part of the Olympic Park for London Olympics 2012, Coca-Cola has unveiled a building that can be played like a musical instrument.  Called the ‘Coca-Cola Beatbox’, the crystalline structure—designed by London-based architectural duo Pernilla Ohrstedt and Asif Khan—features more than 200 plastic air cushions that contain different sounds.  When visitors touch parts of the structure—as they travel up the building on a 200-meter journey to the roof top—sounds are made, and music collages can be created.  The sound samples are taken from the Olympic song ‘Anywhere in the World’ by British producer Mark Ronson—and feature sounds such as a human heartbeat, arrows striking targets, and sport shoes squeaking.

Perhaps Facebook and Twitter and Instagram incline more and more of us to respond to our experiences as only artists once did — perhaps in that sense the optimistic view that all of us are becoming creators is really true. Though whether that’s a good thing or not, whether the moment tends to get lost in the anticipation of its digital representation — that bears thinking about…
