This ad really caught my eye as a good example of illustration combined with photography. Would make a great print ad.

Social Media Excellence - A Case Study

A couple weeks ago I wrote about a situation of social media failure. Today, I’m happy to write about a situation of social media excellence! A few days ago, I checked into Specialty’s via foursquare:

Let’s be honest, I could care less about the cookie. What I find interesting is the fact that Specialty’s has the common sense enough to recognize that social media is a powerful marketing tool and in this case, is using it appropriately to try their products.

Not only do they have a customer, but now they will have someone who goes patronizes their business at least twice a week.
