This week’s #SundayMusings focuses on one of the world’s largest sporting events going on right now, the World Cup. There have been a number of brands dedicating a significant portion of budget to ads revolving around the soccer/football tournament. Let’s dive right in!

#1 – “World Cup 2014 – The World Cup, lived through the eyes of brands and marketing” – via MarketingWorldCup.Tumblr.com 

Premise: A continuously updated branding/marketing blog was created on Tumblr that keeps track of all branding and marketing-related news and stories around the World Cup.

Thoughts: While I can’t stand the Tumblr platform, this feels like a good place to start, no? From YouTube ads/clips to infographics to news on the World Cup’s sponsor (and “fake” sponsor) brands, this page has it all for you. [Read more…]

Welcome to a Super Bowl themed #SundayMusings w/ Shore Branding, the top branding and digital marketing stories from the past week, all of which revolve around today’s Super Bowl here in the US.

#1 – “NFL Digital Media Offers Fans the Most Comprehensive Coverage of Super Bowl XLVIII” – via NFLCommunications.com 

Premise: The NFL announced their digital plans for Super Bowl XLVIII and it includes the use of NFL.com, SuperBowl.com, a lot of mobile content, and a number of other features – many of which are largely seen or portrayed as being ‘fan-friendly’.

Thoughts: The NFL has slowly but surely transitioned to digital elements over the past handful of years and this year seems to be a heavy turning point towards mobile.  The league’s (very different) partnerships with Verizon and Fox are bringing a whole new viewing experience for the game, as well as providing a ton of content for fans to obsess over leading up to today’s game.

I’m not sure if they have done this in the past, largely because I didn’t have a vested interest in the game like I do this year, but I thought it was a great idea to allow fans to download the official game program to your tablets.  ($1.99 on Google Play) [Read more…]

Here are this week’s Sunday Musings w/ Shore Branding, the top stories in branding and digital marketing that caught our eye this past week.

#1 – “Timeless Branding Lessons From A Young Steve Jobs” – via FastCompany.com 

Premise: This write-up takes us back to the late 90’s and when Steve Jobs started to change the image of his Apple brand.  Using Nike as a prolific example of how to get branding “right”, Jobs obviously turned the company upside down and led it to become a global phenomenon.

Thoughts: With the release of “Jobs” the movie this weekend, there is no time like the present to cover off on one of the greatest innovators of his time.  Take a look at the ad from 1997 at the end of the link above; that was a phenomenal 60 second spot. [Read more…]
