Spotify – the story (This tells a great story, thanks Andy Auyong!)

I love how every frame in this movie tells so much. At the end of it, I'm convinced enough to at least give it a look (could it really be that revolutionary?)

How are you telling *your* story today?

Tokyo Café Targets Trend Makers (WSJ)

Find the sneezers, start an ideavirus. (thanks Seth Godin, for teaching me that)

Excerpt from Article:
"TOKYO -- At first glance, the Lcafe appears no different than any of the dozens of cozy cafés in Tokyo's Shibuya district, where trend-conscious young people flock to sip coffee and nibble on cakes and sandwiches.

But look closely at the froth of the cappuccino or a coaster resting beneath a drink or the artwork hanging on the wall and it reveals the café's side business: pitching new products to affluent and influential young Japanese women.

It's called a marketing café, a first of its kind in Japan. Sample Lab Ltd. opened the Lcafe last month as a way to reach Japanese women in their 20s and 30s with information about new products.

"Women take an initiative in shopping, they spark a trend," said Kouhei Nishida, a manager of business development of Sample Lab. "Those young women can serve as influencer."

Weirdest billboard ever (or brilliant targeting)

Taken from Seth's Blog

Not photoshopped, I took it myself. The site is real.

I'm trying to imagine someone driving along Highway 11 and making a note of this. For what? The next time someone gets bludgeoned in their living room? (And no, I don't think it was movie inspired).

On the other hand, maybe this is brilliant, because it's police cars that see this sign the most. Go to where your customers are...

Adrian: When you're thinking "customer" instead of thinking "profit profit profit", it shows.

Customer-centricity means "I'll go to where you are". You don't get to say you're sincerely trying to reach out unless you're doing that.
