Greetings fellow KBC members.

 

I wanted to share an article that I have submitted for publication in a global business journal.

Although it is long-winded I feel that it shows and covers my experience of living and working in Korea for the last 5 years. I have attached both a .docx. & a .doc version for your review. PLease see the updated version below in the discussion thread.

 

Look forward to a great discussion and/or comments.

 

Enjoy.

 

William

I tend to agree with your overall perspective here, Philipp. If an endorser happens to go bad, the sponsor just drops him/her and moves on; I don't think people remember for long. I really doubt too many brands have suffered all that much from the Tiger Woods scandals, except that it's a lot of trouble to go out and find new endorsers and make new collateral.

The following passage suits the topic and sure allows for some reflection:

"Just because you have a good brand, it won’t necessarily promote itself. Companies use promotional media such as posters, billboards, and television ads to drive their campaigns and brand messages. Social media networks have become a large part of how a brands messages are communicated. The unique platform of social media is a fast means of idea communication that opens the door for down to the minute opinions of products and brands. Because consumers tend to be more candid on Facebook, Google Plus, and Twitter, peer and celebrity endorsements are beginning to hold a lot of value in the social marketing world."

i love a good intellectual debate. really enjoyed reading this, and the articles you referenced in arguing points were informative as well. a welcome change compared to most of the rants on other websites.
Great debate! Knockabout fun! I notice no Koreans taking part.....
They seldom do. I've tried everything... I figure it's mostly a language thing, followed by the fact that many topics expats find interesting are just not that intriguing to Koreans... I've seen the opposite happen when Koreans have posted topics that aren't that interesting to expats. It's interesting to watch where the overlap in interests exists and doesn't exist...
