Banksy & The Rise of Outlaw Art (video)

I’m a huge fan of street art as evidenced by my Instagram account and I just watched this documentary on Amazon Prime. You should watch it too! (If you’re into Street Art and in Denver, you should check out CRUSH WALLS.)
Banksy + Instagram
B
I found this on Imgur and thought I would share it. I love Banksy this little piece definitely sums up what people find important these days. Repeat after me, “I must resonate.” I did an experiment about a year ago with my Instagram account. I had about 100 photos and 100 obligatory likes from friends and almost no hashtags. I was bored one day and  decided to add hashtags in the...
Banksy and Shepard make a movie! (video)

I’m a huge fan of street artist Banksy and Shepard Fairey and use their imagery in my posts often. This trailer is very funny and I look forward to seeing this award winning (uh . . .) film. Enjoy!
Graffiti Wars 2011

I’ve posted about Bansky in the past and used some of his pieces in my posts. A friend of mine recommended this documentary and it’s fascinating. I love niche cultures in an anthropological sense. Enjoy!
Exit through the social media shop
E
I finally got a chance to see the “Banksy Movie” (Exit Through the Gift Shop) and it was not what I expected. Never is. For those of you that don’t know who Banksy is; he’s a street artist. He uses stencils and cans of spray paint to share his point of view. He’s from England and other than that, we don’t know much. His identity is a mystery. (If that’s...
If You can’t say Something Nice . . .
I
In preparation for the ever worsening economy, I was sending out requests for endorsements on LinkedIn this morning and wondered (in the name transparency) if there would ever be a way to allow for negative comments? In recent months LinkedIn has had an explosion in traffic and I’ve received invitations to join former coworkers networks at an astounding rate. People I haven’t seen or...
Mobile Marketing Should not be Disruptive
M
When I think of the promise of mobile marketing and location based services I get excited and a little bit concerned. A couple of posts down, I talked about tweeting interrupting my experience and I think the same thing could happen with mobile marketing. For example: You’re in the Tattered Cover bookstore and perusing the art section. You’re enjoying a book on Modern Rock Concert...
Generations of the Niche
G
I posted in late September (just a few posts down) about the Rugby Tournament in Aspen that I’ve attended for the last 24 years. I mentioned the need for Generational liaisons as partners to help marketers serve a niche. I wanted to expand on the concept of generations with the context of niche. When I started going to Ruggerfest, Aspen was still a relatively small mountain town in...
Me & My Google Shadow
M
Lately I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about, and explaining, the incredible marketing tool that Google is currently building. It’s a behavioral advertising model that will extend into your PC and mobile phone (and eventually radio and TV). I’m also sure that Google will utilize “peer recommendation†as a key element to behavioral advertising. Behavioral advertising can be...
