At first I thought it may just be Zaatar w Zeit rebranding themselves,then I saw this video and the acting and the background music just stand out together with a youtube account that was just born yesterday.
And then just a few minutes back I got this letter delivered to my office.
Would’ve been more fun if ZwZ was panicking online and threatening to sue the mischievous, but i guess all of this is part of tehir online initiation campaign.
It’s fun let’s keep watching.

Apparently you can now order a Kono Pizza delivered to you via Blackberry Services, that’s an interesting way of looking at mobile marketing , perfectly localized for our country.

You all remember Samer Karam’s brainchild @cooki3man, which was the first twitter based business model. Through @cookieman you could order cookies baked according to Samer’s secret recipe via DM ( and later on via email). And whilst the business was quite successful and many were jumping to place orders and batches were running out fast, legend has it Samer’s oven broke down and he moved back to more serious and less sugar rush inducing endeavors.
But it seems there is another business that is willing to explore the power of twitter’s word of mouth business growth.
Having been punked by the Brand Protection Group Campaign recently, having @taxilb adding near April 1st, did not speak in their favor, as I am as cautious as ever. But indeed I am curious and have been watching them interact online stirring quite a commotion amongst the twittershphere with their value proposition.
And some of their posts are plain hilarious:
It does not seem that any one has tried them out yet, but their rates sound very reasonable and their online persona is very bubbly.
Quite interestingly, the business started with an twitter account before even launching the website.
Well that is all I know for now, but of course I am full of questions wanting to know who is behind this service and how the business is going so far and if anybody has used it.
Lets keep looking, maybe next time I have to take my car for maintenance I will try them out!

The below is a campaign that was launched by AM Financials last summer (Summer 2010) and still running on their site and corporate materials. At the time it seemed to me too brilliant to be original, I raked my memory and did my research.
You could fin the full overview of the original Yahoo Campaign launched in September 2009 here. I do not believe it was a coincidence, do you?

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.
