Gen Y Marketing Podcast

In mid 2007 Nat, Jake and Paul sat down to record the first Gen Y Marketing Podcast. Four years later they sat down one last time to record their 100th and final episode. On behalf of everyone who has been involved in the show we would like to say a big thank you for listening, we hope you have enjoyed it, we certainly have.So for one last time - On this weeks show:-Julia roberts ad doesn't brush up http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/27/loreal-julia-roberts-ad-banned Microsoft apologies for tweet http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/microsoft-apologises-for-amy-winehouse-tweet-20110726-1hxle.html dominos pizza tracker http://www.marketingmag.com.au/news/dominos-pizza-takes-gets-social-in-times-square-welcomes-criticism-5747/ http://mashable.com/2011/07/25/dominos-comments-times-square/ how to trick ladies into liking you http://www.marketingmag.com.au/news/speaking-to-the-ladies-5607/ Cigarette green washing http://www.usatoday.com/money/advertising/2011-07-26-green-cigarette-ads

SECOND LAST EPISODE EVER!Yes that's right you read that correctly, after 4 and a bit years we have decided to finish up the podcast. For those of you saying to yourself "this is just the sort of publicity stunt I would expect from these hacks" I can assure you that this is a rare moment of honesty. For those of you who have heard the rumour that the show is being taken off the air by the Australian Communications and Media Authority, you will need to speak to our legal team.ON this weeks show:- Trainvertising http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/metro-has-super-idea-to-make-more-money-20110718-1hlpc.html#poll Police News billboard http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/graphic-billboards-the-latest-campaign-tool-in-police-pay-battle/story-fn7x8me2-1226094350536 tweets http://www.theage.com.au/technology/police-kick-own-goal-with-tweets-20110714-1heqw.html Dominos flash mob http://mumbrella.com.au/dominos-stages-hawaiian-themed-flash-mob-52159 Buying can reducing giving http://www.psychologytoday.com/

There is a saying we have around the Gen Y Marketing studio, and that is "When you can't get Paul West, get Paula Abdul".On this weeks show:-Vodafone google curse http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/vodafones-google-curse-20110621-1gcvn.html Bus Ads http://www.marketingmag.com.au/articles/news/5357/bus-ads-do-they-capture-attention-and-keep-it-/ Catch up ads not as good as traditiona ads on tc http://www.utalkmarketing.com/pages/Article.aspx?ArticleID=21422&Title=Catch_up_adverts_not_as_effective_as_traditonal_ones_on_TV Kogan launches ad about listening to social media feedback http://mumbrella.com.au/kogan-were-always-listening-to-social-media-feedback-49692 http://www.techau.tv/blog/kogan-wants-you-to-know-they-are-listening-to-social-media/ How to win Kelloggs business?

So it would seem the words we were looking for were in fact:-She stepped off the bus (The Venga Bus I believe) out into the city streets,Just a small town girl with her whole life packed in a suitcase by her feet.Win Big, Mama's fallen angel.

Editing out all the bits that in retrospect we probably shouldn't have said is a fine idea, but then who would bother downloading a 4 minute podcast?

If we just spent a little less time talking about Aaron Neville and Lynda Rondstadt and a little more time talking about Gen Y Marketing then maybe, just maybe, we would have a little more industry cred... Just sayin.On this weeks show:-Pokies Ad under fire http://www.adnews.com.au/news/clubs-australia-under-fire-over-ad-campaign http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8CtHtY-3cg&feature=player_embedded Strepsils on the radio http://mumbrella.com.au/talkback-stations-tricked-into-strepsils-plugs-44041 SEO reputation Management http://www.smartcompany.com.au/internet/20110411-vetting-prospective-staff-made-harder-as-seo-company-helps-job-seekers-bury-unfavourable-online-mentions.html Kraft create ads based on tweets http://mashable.com/2011/03/29/kraft-mac-cheese-ad-conan/ Social Media keeping executives up at night http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/net-users-logged-on-21-hours-a-week/story-e6frg996-1226036913878 20% discount for life for a tatttoo http://www.thecampussocialite.com/get-marc-eck

Whilst we do have an "explicit" tag on our podcast and have done for quite some time, I feel the need this week to add an extra warning for you this listener. For those of you who don't wish to listen to Nat's views on below the equator grooming issues, you may find some parts of this podcast disturbing (I certainly did)..On this weeks show:-Facebook to offer movie rentals http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/news/facebook-to-offer-movie-rentals/story-e6frg90o-1226018117931 Entendres are OK according to ASB http://mumbrella.com.au/its-okay-to-get-pork-on-your-fork-rules-asb-41294 http://mumbrella.com.au/essential-beauty-ad-banned-for-excessive-foliage-references-41386 Big Brands taking over online Retail http://www.smartcompany.com.au/retail/20110314-big-brands-taking-over-online-retail-new-figures-show.html Iran to compete in Olympics despite zion complaints http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-1272416 Times Square Video Screen Hack is Marketing Campaign For Movie http://www.urlesque.com/2011/03/17/time

When we decided to take some time and look at political advertising in this weeks show the decision to invite former liberal leader Dr John Hewson seemed like a brilliant move. Unfortunately it seemed Dr Hewson had already been booked for the Gruen Transfer so instead we have Zac Martin from Pigsdontfly.com (and some other agency that I cant recall the name of right now) join us on the show. Zac has come a long way since his first appearance on the Gen Y Marketing podcast and I think you will agree his level of contempt for us is more in line with what it should be.

For most of us having trust in our medical practitioners is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Nat of course holds the view that doctors are incapable of assessing a persons medication requirements and so are incapable of prescribing the correct dosage of pain killers. To correct this oversite Nat takes his doctors advice and adds a further 30-50% to ensure he is not under medicated after a medical proceedure. So for all you kids out there, listen to this weeks show and learn a valuable lesson... Yahoo answers cannot and should not trump 7 years of medical school when it comes to advice on how many pain killers to take ok?

Australia's first hung parliament in 70 odd years has left many people wondering what the future holds for the countries political system. As the ballot counting continues it seems apparent that the power to choose who leads this country resides in the hands of 3 obscure independents who's decisions may well shape our nation over the next 3 years.We know they have some crazy ideas, we know there is a risk in putting such power in the hands of so few. But ladies and gentlemen I would like you all to take a moment and be thankful that the three men that are charged with deciding the future of this country are not Jake, Nat and Paul from the Gen Y Marketing Podcast. Spend a minute and imagine what kind of drunken, hair brained ideas the Gen Y Marketing team would be trying to pass were they holding the country by the throat. My point? It could be much worse...

BIG HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Ok well its not really that big, but if we have learnt anything from the advertising world it's to over state and under deliver on everything. This weeks Gen Y Marketing Podcast will be the last show for a few weeks. The 3 of us are working on another project over the next month or so and as a result wont be able to do our usual show. But don't despair, we will be back very soon to continue the usual inaccurate information and questionable research very soon.

Whilst very little is ever edited out of the shows we produce, every now and then someone says something so amazingly factually incorrect I feel the need to cut it before we post the show on itunes. During this weeks show Nat (always keen to show of his superior intellect) pointed out that in his mind when I edit 5mins from the Gen Y Marketing Podcast it removes 5 minutes from the lives of all our listeners. I am pretty sure this breaks all the rules of the time space continuum BUT if any of you have, as Nat puts it "woken up naked with no shoes on, unsure how you got there" please let me know and I will stop making edits.
