5 creative uses of Snapchat, how to target Culture Vultures & more.......


5x Creative Uses of Snapchat
Examples from WWF (World Wildlife Fund), NBA (National Basketball Association), GrubHub (an online food ordering company), Audi and cosmetics company, NARS on how to use Snapchat to reach your target audiences.  While this is a US-focused article, good ideas are universal!

How to target Culture Vultures
Another interesting piece from Adworld.ie and Kantar Media – museum visitors are more likely to ‘holiday off the beaten track’ and more likely to see bus stop advertising – while Dublin Zoo visitors are more likely to use ‘on demand’ TV, to buy brands their kids prefer and to go to animation movies.

George Hook interviews young entrepreneurs
Last Thursday, on the “Kickstart your Business” slot on Newstalk, George Hook and Ger Tannam of Islandbridge Brand Development spoke to two schoolchildren from Griffith College Multidenominational School,  South Circular Road, Dublin about their new business, the “Health Pack”.  Louis Rosney and Eduardo Nestor, representing their class, told George how the Pack is aimed at countering obesity and they developed it for the “Biz Factor” final a few weeks ago.
The Health Pack contains lesson plans, a website subscription, recipe cards, seeds, a seasonal planting calendar and much more. They will generate revenue by selling the packs - for a class of 30, the Packs would cost between 90 and 100 euro. The children secured agreement with Bank of Ireland for a €500 loan.  Biz Factor is organised by Bizworld Ireland, which takes entrepreneurship into the classroom and this is their annual awards programme.  Bizworld won the 2014 David Manley Emerging Social Entrepreneur Award – disclosure - I’ve worked with both DMA and with Bizworld!
