Comment on Just do it – the power of Nike by emmaegriffiths

I’m the same with Adidas. I don’t think I pay attention to sports advertising – but straight away my mind has just flashed full of images of Adidas advertising and digitial marketing that has caught my eye.

I think that certain sports brands, such as Nike and Adidas, have created an image of themselves as being more than just a sports brand, and more of a high street brand – this is definitely more so than say 5 years ago and I reckon that social media and digital marketing has a lot to do with it.

Maybe the luxury brands are already the Masters of SM b/c they are the original masters of Word of Mouth. We talk about them, they are above talking about themselves. They’re more of a hashtag in a Twitter search than a Twit themselves. Nice post!

Hi, I happened to find your blog through Twitter and its fantastic! I definitely agree, LV has managed to transcend into digital and social media whereas other high fashion brands are still struggling.

Think of your Facebook profile or Twitter activity as your online business card – would you tell a potential employer or client everything on your social networking profiles?

If not, look at changing your privacy settings or removing any information you’d not be happy talking about in an interview.

I hear the phone tip… I used to hate using the phone in quiet newsrooms, but then I listened to others on the phone and realised the Ummm-ed as much as I did!

I still have palpitations for the first couple of calls though…!

I think this dilemma can be turned around as well.

If an employer relies heavily on new platforms of social media when sifting through applicants’ forms, they may expect one sort of person and end up being face to face in an interview with a completely inverted, shadow of their networking persona.

Specifically with journalism, the reliance on a portfolio of work – and likely, their contributions on the internet in blogs, forums and on facebook – to be presented to an employer, drastically blinds them from unearthing the qualities of interpersonal social skills that they may have but are overlooked because they only have one follower on twitter, or don’t tweet at all!

For now at least I am resisting twitter, but I may have to buckle to its quest for world domination before long. Sigh.
