If you like reverse psychology you'll find this video funny...

Ron Paul is surging in the polls States-side and some of his supporters are creating videos to support his campaign.

As I said a long time ago, I think YouTube provides you with a grassroots army of marketers as many people today know how to use video editing software to create interesting videos. This applies if you have passionate followers. The other candidates don't have any videos being made by their supporters (not sure what that says about how passionate their supporters actually are or if they simply don't know how to use video editing software).

The following video was made in response to things like NDAA and SOPA, essentially highlighting how Americans are losing their freedom at a fairly rapid pace.

Heck, they even created a site called RonPaulFlix that houses all the video content created by supporters as well as content from media interviews.

This is what is driving all the videos created by supporters. They are able to go to a site like this and download endless amounts of content that they can then edit to create their own little ad for Ron Paul.

I think in 2016 the candidate who wins may very well be whoever empowers their supporters with the right content to act as an army of marketers on YouTube.

Paul supporters apparently are taking the best of the best of these videos, burning them on DVD's and then passing them out to people. And none of this is done in association with the campaign, it's all grassroots.

So watch this trend carefully because big money influence may be coming to a crossroads where it may bang heads with grassroots effectiveness.

The corporate world can learn from this as well. A company like RIM for instance would be well advised to let those out there who love RIM make their own commercials. Perhaps run a competition or simply create a video database for users who want to create their own ads for RIM. I think they'd be surprised at how a couple great fan videos can really redefine how people see the brand and encourage others to give RIM another look when buying a smartphone.

I just came across another Ron Paul related fan video which I thought was interesting and well done. It's pretty provocative and the message is that the only one not in the bankers' back pocket is Ron Paul.

Morgan Freeman Botches Reddit IAmA - Black Eye on PR

For those not familiar with Reddit it's basically a forum where people post interesting things on a wide variety of subjects. Postings gain popularity when people 'up vote' them and become more visible in their particular subreddit (a subreddit is simply a subject category, like politics or videos). One of Reddit's most popular subreddits is the IAmA subreddit - which allows reddit users to ask questions of various people. Over three million people subscribe to IAmA, which is also widely used by celebrities. An IAmA can last a couple hours during which Redditors (the term Reddit users call themselves) can ask the person doing the IAmA questions. The term "IAmA" comes from the concept of "I Am A doctor, ask me anything", "I Am A movie star, ask me anything" - you get the drift. IAmA's are not just for celebrities, lots of common folks do them as well. Recently Morgan Freeman did an IAmA and it turned into a PR mess. To make a lo...

Mainstream versus Alternate Media - Where is the news now-a-days?

It's well known that CNN has been suffering an exodus of viewers, losing over half their viewership over the past couple of years. Yet Fox News has not lost viewers, but has increased its viewership slightly. It's an odd phenomena given that Fox news is clearly biased in their coverage. Mind you, so is CNN according to many. But I'd suggest it comes down to something much more simple. While Fox may be holding its ground, the rise of alternative media is taking off where CNN left off - a focus on hard news. For those of the under 40 crowd, that's what they are looking for, NEWS. The simplest way to highlight the difference between mainstream media and alternative media is to take a look at their homepages and the stories they highlight. It becomes very clear why people are turning away from CNN and turning to alternative media. Let's look at five media sites and their homepage (click on pictures to enlarge): CNN Feature stories: CNN heroes Top t...

E-cigarettes: A PR battle Health Canada cannot win?

So I've now been using an e-cigarette (e-cig) for two months and thought I'd talk a bit about how I see the upcoming battle between Health Canada and e-cigs going. First though, let's do a quick overview of what exactly an e-cig is. Basically an e-cig vaporizes liquid that contains nicotine. The vapor is then inhaled. People who use e-cigs are called vapers (not smokers). Because the liquid is atomized (ie. vaporized), not burned the way tobacco is, vapers do not consider themselves 'smokers' in anyway. An e-cig is comprised of basically three components: The tank - this is the component that holds the juice (sometimes referred to as e-juice or e-liquid). The atomizer - this a coil and wick unit that atomizes the juice. When the coil is heated (from the battery) it atomizes the juice that has soaked into the wick. The battery - batteries for e-cigs come in various capacities (some last 8 hours, others 40+ hours, depending on their size). The ba...
