One of the things that can be intimidating about marketing today is also what is so exciting about it; the way to spread your message has exploded exponentially.
Take this for example: VINCE VAUGHN AND CO-STARS POSE FOR IDIOTIC STOCK PHOTOS YOU CAN HAVE FOR FREE
This 3/3/15 article in AdWeek, by Alfred Maskeroni shares how Getty and Fox teamed up to create stock photos that can be used for free in editorial. They are hilariously stereotypical, and oh such a great idea. I’m writing this blog post just so I can use them.
Think of it, this is yet another form of Content Marketing that we have been talking about. There is no mention of a sales pitch, “buy now,” or even what it’s for. But the picture itself makes an impression, it allowed a fun press release about the movie rather than “go see this movie,” and now here I am promoting the movie in a blog dedicated to marketing ideas.
Great idea guys. And now your challenge: how can you use today’s digital media in a new and creative way? Hint: it may be free. Happy Creating!
WHAT!?! UPDATE 3-5-15. Turns out these stock photo look-a-likes are really stock photos with Vince and cast’s faces photoshopped on. Check out this follow up article in AdWeek today Vince Vaughn’s Hilarious Stock Photos Were Made From These Equally Ludicrous Originals
