Koodo's Next Move? Turning the Public Into A Star

By Christie Adams / September 24, 2008

Well, Koodo’s gone and and ruined my Hallowe’en costume for sure this time. Full disclosure: I’m one of those geeks who has a Hallowe’en costume in mind at least seven months in advance. So last winter, I declared my intentions to dress as an 80s aerobics instructor. Then along came Koodo with its roster of […]

The Maple Leaf Foods Crisis: One Month Later

By Christie Adams / September 19, 2008

It’s been a month since the Listeria outbreak at a Maple Leaf Foods’ meat packing plant so it’s a good time to take stock of how the company handled the ultimate public relations nightmare.

By Christie Adams / September 16, 2008

So it’s been almost two months into Bell’s new advertising campaign and we find, again, why an ad campaign fails without a public relations campaign to back it up. As you probably noticed, Bell fired chatty animated beavers Frank and Gordon in anticipation of the launch of its new logo. So it unleashed a new […]

Tory Mudslinging? Er, Not Quite…

By Christie Adams / September 10, 2008

Three days into the Federal election campaign, and someone has already put their foot in it. An internet spot on the Conservatives’ website notaleader.ca backfired when viewers reacted with disgust, not mirth, at an image of Liberal leader Stephane Dion getting pooped on by a puffin. I suppose the Conservatives thought it was edgy. Apparently […]

Memo to the Khadrs: It Isn’t Going To Work

By Christie Adams / September 9, 2008

Fed up with what they consider negative and unfair attacks by the press, the infamous Khadr family has launched their own website in order to rebuild their reputations and get son Omar out of Guantanamo Bay. The Khadrs, as you may know, have been vilified for their ties to Al-Qaeda and for having, what many […]
