Talkin' Turkey.... And Public RelationsButterball Screen Shot Turkey Chicago Tribune1

You don't have to be the best to score media coverage.

And you don't need to be the most innovative or the market leader, although in the case of Butterball, name recognition helps.

One of the country's top producing poultry brands wins big by repurposing questions that come into their help line for some fun content at a time when interest in turkey is at a yearly high.

Well done Butterball, well done!

One piece they netted (in the Chicago Tribune, no less) as a result of the campaign below, but if you search online, you'll find a lot more out there.

We've been published in AdWeek before on our thoughts that too many brands put out press releases when the news just isn't there to promote. It's all about the channel and audience. Sometimes you can say 1,000 words with an Instagram photo and sometimes, you can have your CEO issue an open letter that clearly states your position and forgo any follow-up interviews, calls, etc.

That's exactly what Apple did with their most recent customer letter involving the FBI and cyber security. Although it's billed as a an 'open letter to its customers', in reality, it's a press release for a global audience of journalists, fans and anyone else who happens to be checking Facebook on February 17, 2016.

Here are the highlights from a PR/marketing perspective:

We added the red... this is a message to everyone, not just Apple's customers. BUT, it was smart of Apple to position it otherwise.

This is what Apple says the issue is.

Essentially, the FBI may be saying this is easy to do and fix, but according to Apple, it's far from the case.

From a public relations / media relations standpoint, this was very well done. Now it's the government's turn to respond.

Do Super Bowl Ads Work? A Lesson in Public Relations, Advertising, Creativity And Consistency

Donald_Meme_MakerThis has nothing to do with our personal politics, so please send your hate emails elsewhere 😉

Recently we heard Kevin Robillard on the This Morning With Gordan Deal podcast the other day talking about Trump’s prominence in the race to the White House.

Love him or hate him, The Donald is dominating the media. Why?

He’s disruptive. His message is very different and the way he communicates compared to his competitor’s political brands stands out.

It’s that simple.

Trump is harsh compared to what we’re typically seeing from political candidates. He’s loud. He gets aggressive and isn’t afraid to take risks.

Will this help The Donald become the next U.S. president? I have no idea…

BUT, his message is so different, often so outlandish, that it’s resonating with many people across the country. If elected, can he do what he says he’ll do? Again… no idea. In most cases our government is a pretty slow moving machine

That said, even if Donald Trump doesn’t make it any further in the political race, he’s left an impression, raised his awareness and inspired many to await his next move in business, entertainment or in politics.

Sounds like a marketing win to us.
