When Corporate Greetings Get Personal

I receive a lot of e-greeting cards and I am usually more than happy to share the most interesting ones with you, because I believe that seasonal greeting cards are an important touch-point within the overall marketing communication strategy.  Among the many cliche and uninspiring greeting cards I have received so far, the above is just beguiling in its quaintness, naivete and absolute personalized depiction of the business.

Have you seen any enthralling corporate e-greetings lately? I would be ecstatic to take a peek.

December 22, 2010 in Begginer SM Tips, Corporate marketing, Education, IdentityChef Out & About, Social Media Marketing by Darine Sabbagh | 9 comments

As this post is published I am giving a guest class in Leila Khauli’s #MKTG225 class in AUB, just thought I would share with you the slides so you can see what is happening you can also follow the tweets with #mktg225 hashtag.

Normally I do not include a lot of text in my visual materials, but this time you can see a lot since I intended it to be a cross bread between a power-point and a notes guidelines for the class.

This is exciting, more details later! Let me know what you think

Haiku: Digital Paths

December 21, 2010 in Me by Darine Sabbagh | 4 comments

We seek each other blindly weeding through the noise,

Loneliness colliding with lonesomeness without aim or plan,

Providence charting destiny with Brownian Motion

I felt inspired today to write in pre-year-end meditation evaluating the connections made through out this year. It did not fit in 140 although I tried so I decided to document it here.

Heading Out to the Arab Social Media Forum

December 10, 2010 in Begginer SM Tips, Corporate marketing, IdentityChef Out & About, Social Media Marketing, Travel by Darine Sabbagh | 5 comments

Tonight I am heading out to Amman for the 1st Arab Social Media Forum, a full day event wholly dedicated to Social Media throughout its aspects.

But the more exciting thing is that following my An Event for the Netizens post the event organizers asked me to be the moderator for all he twitter questions coming from the global audience(1). So all that you need to do tomorrow is follow the #ASMF2010 hashtag and tweet your questions to the speakers and the most interesting ones will be answered.

Looking forward to it!
