TEXT MESSAGING SLOGAN CONTEST

We asked the public to come up with catch phrases for text messaging company. This contest was not sponsored by any particular service, but an idea suggested by one of our users, Jennifer Seay. As expected, there were some great entries. This contest also points out why we don't try to sell individual ideas. Many people submitted the same, or variations on the same idea. The entries were judged by The Sandbox Group, a media collective based in Manhattan.

And The Winner Is....

JULY PHOTO/IMAGE CONTEST 2005

For the photo contests, amateur photos are given preference over professional ones. We encourage the "accidental" advertisement. (If you can encourage such a thing....). For the most part, these are not intended to be professional photos, but consumers' natural interactions with brands.



AND THE WINNER IS.....

Original Contest Description:

"Imagine that fashionable young city gal who oozes taste and hipness — perhaps she’s fresh out of college and trying to establish herself in the Big City. She wants to dress like her favorite character from “Sex and the City” but doesn’t have the same deep pockets — yet. Our girl might be entry-level but on the fast track, or maybe established in a creative job that pays more in “cachet” than salary. Although she wouldn’t be caught dead buying shoes in the mall, between going out 4 nights a week and living in the fashionable part of town she’s not quite ready to plop down $500 on a pair of Manolo Blahniks either.

What we want you to do is name the niche or demographic that this woman represents. We don’t want a critical name, but one that celebrates or encapsulates her combination of taste and ambition. Remember also, this is not a slogan.

Some famous demographic or taste movement names from the past and present: Generation X, Yuppie, Beatnik, Flapper, Homeboy, Club Kid, Bohemian, Punk, Hip-hopper, Preppy, Valley Girl, Flower Child."

JULY 2005 SUGGESTION/MARKETING CONTEST

And the Winner is....

"A magazine ad for *beer* that has a fold-out like a perfume or cologne ad, where it smells like beer. It could either just have funny phrases on the page, or it could be a mock perfume ad."

Submitted by--Keren Douek, of Saint Louis, Missouri.

Okay, this may never actually happen, but it such a funny idea, and could be used for another product.
