Congratulations to the Winners of the 3 Major Spring Contests
Hello All!!! Thanks for your patience. We are revamping site and looking for input. We want this to be the place to go for advertising and marketing professionals, amateurs and consumers of all kinds. Please tell us what you would like to see by emailing us at admin@adcandy.com.
Hi Y'all,
The votes are in, and here are the winners:
We will be implementing a more formal winner's page on the Adcandy site, rather than "blogging" it. Stay tuned... In the meantime, to see finalists, go to Vote On Ads.
We asked our users to come up with a name for a digital-music player. Entries were judged by The Sandbox Group.
These are practical suggestions or marketing suggestions for products.
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.
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.
FarylRobin Footwear asked us to help them "name a niche"-- have Adcandy users come up with a name for their target demographic market. (Think yuppie, homeboy, flapper etc.) The winners were decided by the staff of FarylRobin Footwear and their P.R. agency, Maletzky Media. The original contest description is at the bottom of the page.
And the Winner is....
We had a nice article about Adcandy published on Clickz.com, a marketing industry informational website. Click the title to read.
THE WINNER:
The Adcandy Image contest features spontaneous and staged photos of people interacting with their favorite products, or just the products themselves. They don't have to be professional images -- people can submit shots taken on their camera phones. You may ad comments.
After reading hundreds of slogans written by the public, we've identified some common pitfalls of novice slogan-writers.
This contest featured slogans submitted for any product in our database. This is our favorite contest, as it features ideas that come spontaneously from the public.
The Suggestion Contest is for ideas that suggest a change and/or improvement in the utility, service, manufacturing, marketing, or practical application of an existing product or service.
Results for the MP3 Digital Music player naming contest, Adcandy contest, and Coffee Contest will be posted next month.
