Argos pop-up QR shop

I just read an interesting article over at econsultancy

About Argos offering a pop-up QR shop in London. The shop will offer 75 gift ideas to passers by.

Now, this isn’t the first of its kind –but I felt compelled to write about it as I completely disagreed with the author’s conclusion. He said that this would get users talking, but would be unlikely to increase sales. Continue reading

Antti Ohrling leaves Blyk

We read the press release below and thought that we would add a few words to this.

I personally remember the very first time I came to contact with Antti and Blyk. I did a podcast and was interested yet dubious about the Blyk venture. But, Antii does have a certain charm and magnetic personality that wooed over GoMo News for a short time.

Blyk; if it had been all that it originally promised, would have been an amazing success story. It might be a valid business today – but it isn’t the dream of some time ago. But I hope that Antii can continue a different dream and set of ideas moving forward. We wish him the best of luck!

Smarties Rum winner in MMA Smarties awards

Rating: Coca-Cola the overall winner

We’re not quite sure whether the MMA (Mobile Marketing Association) is aware of this but it appears to have picked the name of a popular brand of children’s’ sweeties [candy] in the UK for its new set of awards. Anyway, the ‘Smarties’ were announced last night [November 17th 2011] at the Hotel SLS at Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, USA. The event was sponsored this year [2011] by Motricity along with Millennial Media. The MMA Global Award Winners were chosen from hundreds of entrants by a judging panel of international marketers and agency leaders. Somehow the global winner and North American regional winner appear to be the same thing. A bit like the hosting nation winning the Olympics. Anyway, the overall winner was Old Navy and Crispin Porter + Bogusky for ‘Old Navy Records’. Congratulations. Continue reading
