The word “rhetoric” gets a bad rap as a form of oratory manipulation; I view it as a communication device. When used well, it can be very moving. http://blog.duarte.com/2011/03/rhetoric-isn%e2%80%99t-a-bad-thing%e2%80%9416-rhetorical-devices-regularly-used-by-steve-jobs/

Lucky for us, with an expanded lineup of 14 speakers and 3 master classes, we had an incredible group on hand to deliver actionable insights. M aking ideas happen is a unique process for everyone – and the speakers tackled the topic from a variety of fascinating angles. http://99u.com/articles/7026/99-Conference-2011-Key-Insights-on-Idea-Execution

The 1st radio ad for dogs

La marque d’aliments canins Naturia a trouvé un moyen bien efficace de démontrer à quel point ils comprennent leur cible : en développant le premier spot radio destiné aux chiens – ou plutôt à faire réagir les chiens. Comme le montre la vidéo ci-dessous, en retravaillant les fréquences, l’agence allemande Grabarz & Partner a créé un spot uniquement composé de sons destinés à alerter / exciter nos charmantes bêtes à poils (des sons imperceptibles à l’oreille humaine). Le résultat est plutôt efficace : une voix-off déroule la promo Naturia, et au son du spot les bêtes s’affolent devant les enceintes, faisant réagir leurs maîtres qui découvrent leurs chiens s’animer au son de l’offre promo. http://soffff.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/the-1st-radio-ad-for-dogs/

Posted by Marc | 15-08-2010 21:24 | Category: Activism , Media Isn’t it strange that the media carefully label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language but there’s no labelling system for wacky journalism and other questionable content? (like this blogpost :-) Geek comedian Tom Scott designed a solution for this.
