Mc Donald's Wake-up Service

McDonald's threats Starbucks about coffee competition. McDonald’s is making a very strong push to promote its coffee. Following the unusual Sort Your Head outdoors campaign, has created a fun print ad campaign promoting McDonald’s premium roast coffee.

The “Wake up with a premium roast coffee” campaign features wind-up toys depicting a Worker, Mechanic, and a Salesman, all jobs that require starting fresh early in the morning.

The toys are shown seemingly sleepy and without energy, and are invited to wake up with McDonald’s new premium roast coffee.

Mc Donald's mindset is full of burger. That's why it's very difficult to reposition itself with a new product category. On the other hand, Mc Donald's is very experienced company about positioning.

Social Media is...

Social Media is, blogs, social networks, wikis, podcasts, RSS, mashups, flickr, technorati, linkedin, twitter, facebook, friendfeed, second life etc.

Social Media is really a conversation that is powered by blogs, social networks, wikis, podcasts, RSS, mashups, flickr, technorati, linkedin, twitter, facebook, friendfeed, second life etc.

Social Media is a conversation between employees, customers, investors, generally people.

The Social Media conversation is not organized



not controlled


and not on message


The conversation is vibrant, emergent, compelling, and full of insight. To join the conversation, we need to be present. We begin by listening. If we listen we will learn.

Funeral Marketing



For the Ga tribe in Ghana, funerals are a time of mourning, but also of celebration. The Ga people honor their dead with brightly colored coffins that celebrate the way they lived.



The coffins are designed to represent an aspect of the dead person's life such as a car if they were a driver, a fish if their livelihood was the sea etc. They might also symbolize a vice such as a bottle of beer or a coke.


Thinking both funeral and entertainment in the same platform is really interesting. For me, funeral is funeral and does not consist any funny perpective. But the Ga people's perspective is different.
