Dynamite Surfing
Dec
31
2008
This viral advert was made for Quicksilver by Saatch & Saarchi Copenhagen.
It’s been circulating the web for many months now and is a classic example of how cost effective the internet can be to get your message across.
I can’t think of any other media that would be more effective for targeting those hard to reach 16 to 28 year age group.

Christmas e-card
Dec
18
2008
The Northstar Christmas ecard was mailed out today to all our clients, suppliers and associates.
That helped save a very small tree, a few hundred pounds of CO2 emissions, and me licking ninety eight envelopes.
And because email marketing can be done at a fraction of the cost of traditional mailings … Scrooge would be proud!
Naturally with our statistical reporting that comes free with our email marketing programme, we can see who opened their card, at what time, and how often they looked at it.
Now you don’t get that with your average Hallmark card!
