Seth Godin on 2012: 2 must-watch videos. The industrial age is over. Take risks.

I just found this via Marie Germain and Branding 2.0: video of interview with Seth Godin on George Stroumboulopoulos “Strombo”, Canada’s leading late-night talk show. Some really great soundbites here - Seth is one of the people who always, without fail, inspire me.

Check out this video interview with Seth on BehindthebrandTV - it's a very good fit with the topics above, as well.

Personal branding in the digital age: new video

This video is part of a new series of 5-7 minute videos I recorded here in Basel, Switzerland in July. This episode shows about how I use social networks and mobile-optimized platforms / apps to spread the word about what I do. I also provide a few examples of the most efficient and viral online branding concepts that I have tried during the past decade. You can download this video if you go to my GerdTube.net video channel (on Blip.tv) or just subscribe to my video podcasts in iTunes.

Blending the iPad: hilarious video, and really smart marketing - must watch

This is a must-watch; and yes, I am not the first one to mention it, missed this until just now - but what a great fit: the guy, the topic, the connection, the logic, the fun - great example of marketing nirvana.

The Blendtec people nailed this - and you've got to love the tag-line: "We've heard that the iPad will change your life, but will it change the way you blend?"
