Help design our Cool Company Awards poster theme for 2009

September 2, 2009 | By James Tuckerman

In a little over 10 days, we will be sending a fleet of mobile-billboards down the busy streets of inner-city Australia to promote our 2009 Cool Company Awards.

I’m talking about Scooter Advertising, courtesy of our friends at Subterfuge.

In accordance with my blog post of yesterday on using social media to promote the ‘cools’, it occurred to me that this exercise presents an excellent opportunity to promote two-way reader engagement.

So far, we’ve developed three potential poster and themes (below).

We’ve also created a ‘blank canvass’ to further ignite your imagination and solicit feedback. (What would you place in the blank space?)

Blank Canvass

So, here’s where we’d like your help.

1. Vote for your preference of the three options above (but vote below).
2. If you think all these options stink, leave your suggested ‘blank canvass’ filler as a comment. (Don’t worry about offending us. We have tough hides.)



Don’t be shy.

We sought your feedback and designed our Dec 2008 print magazine edition based on your suggestions. And we love writing about creative crowdsourcing (here, here and here). So, we’re familiar with the pros and cons.

As such, we might not employ the most popular choice. However, we will be heavily guided by your opinions. And we’ll give plenty of credit to the most deserving contributors.

So… any ‘cool’ poster suggestions Anthillians?

    Hey James
    In line with “trend-bucking” theme that generally parallels with “coolness” – how about a theme of either a)running with scissors and/or b) playing with matches (all those things your Mum used to tell you not to do)

    Love it! Although slightly afraid.

    Update: The scooters hit the streets this week, displaying the Soup Can theme. Yes, this was the least popular choice but the other suggestion were simply too hard to read on a passing mobile-billboard. Plus… the Soup Can conveniently gives us a theme for this year’s award ceremony. Can you guess what it is?

9 things a 9 month-old can teach you about online marketing [VIDEO]

This morning, I sat down with my 9-month old son, Julian, to feed him breakfast. This is one of the jobs allocated to me as a first-time, new father. Remembering the arduous steps required to complete yesterday morning’s meal (and the day before that), and contemplating how bizarre it is that I must work so hard to provide him something that will make him stronger and healthier and happier, I began to think about online marketing. Yes, the brain works in mysterious ways. (And I am kind of sleep deprived.)
