Music Festivals are Marketing Festivals
Summerdayz, Gods Kitchen, Devil's Kitchen, Good Vibes, Kiss My Grass, Future Music Festival, Falls Festival, Big Day Out are some of the big events that happen during the year that attract tens of thousands of party goers a year.
These feature events to much more mature audiences are usually associated with music, drugs, alcohol and of course the big S that is, Sex.
To organisations who are looking to attract large shares in the youth market these events provide the big O - Opportunities.
Everything from the red bull tent, the Pump Festival dance off as well as multiple DJs and promoters sporting the latest in funky fashion and promoting themselves as a brand.
ML denim for example is known for dressing up multiple promoters for these events, and has increased the amount of interest surrounding the brand. (www.mldenim.com.au)
The festival organisers such as Future Entertainment have taken advantage of the large fan base surrounding these events and have released CDs related to the festivals, the latest being the Future Music Festival CD just released.
TV Rock is one example of a group who has raised through the ranks by djing at such events, featuring on these cds as well as being apart of the hit radio show on Nova, Overdrive - which by the way is another show that is sponsored by Future Entertainment.

Clinton v. Obama sites go head to head
This great analysis from ettf.net of the two presidents websites
Barack Obama has certainly engaged the right people to create his site as they’ve produced a state-of-the-art social networking site that let’s his supporters get engaged by creating their profiles and blogs, hook up with other supporters and find/plan events. Furthermore he’s leveraging all relevant Web 2.0 channels such as YouTube, flickr, MySpace and Facebook. And Barack TV of course let’s you embed the videos on other websites.
Well… Hillary wasn’t all that lucky with her web producers. They missed out on pretty much all of the funky stuff. Can’t embed her videos and her MySpace isn’t all that cool either.

Reading your mind
"A team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act. The team used high-resolution brain scans to identify patterns of activity before translating them into meaningful thoughts, revealing what a person planned to do in the near future. It is the first time scientists have succeeded in reading intentions in this way.
How does it work?
The computer learns unique patterns of brain activity or signatures that correspond to different thoughts. It then scans the brain to look for these signatures and predicts what the person is thinking.
What is next?
The researchers are honing the technique to distinguish between passing thoughts and genuine intentions.".

RFID for Mini
In San Francisco, Mini Cooper have used radio frequency identification to communicate with their drivers. A billboard on one of San Francisco busiest roads picks up when a Mini is in the area by their Mobile Phone unique identification and delivers a personalized message to the consumer on their billboard ‘Hi Kate, nice day for a convertible’. This is a great medium to use but a weak creative idea. Just saying hello to the consumer is pretty inadventrous especially from the daring Mini Cooper marketing team. Here is an article with more information.
