- Paying Consumers for promoting products they love
Seattle-based Hollrr aims to help small companies launch new products by enabling consumers to help spread the word about the ones they think deserve to succeed — even rewarding them for recruiting new customers.
Fans of a particular product begin by joining its Tribe of Followers, or can be the first to suggest a new product for consideration. Hollrr’s team will then talk to the product’s owner to see if it’s interested in participating. Either way, once there’s a Tribe, fans can help promote the product by writing an endorsement, downloading a widget to their blog or Facebook page and sending a link to their friends via Twitter or email.

- The Lads
Coca-Cola this week launched its latest ad for Coke Zero with its most ‘laddish’ marketing campaign to date, with a strategy aimed at distancing Coke Zero from the brand’s other low-calorie variant, Diet Coke.
The campaign, entitled ‘The Impossible Made Possible’, broke across TV, cinema, outdoor and digital. It will run for six months. The activity will be supported through its consumer website Coke Zone, as well as a series of animated online films.
