Ypulse Essentials: Candies Campaigns Against Teen Pregnancy, The CW = Comeback Kid, DanceJam On Bebo
Posted by anastasia on 10-27-200810 days and counting until the Ypulse Youth Marketing Mashup East. I requested my absentee ballot since I'll be en route to Boston November 4th…
Candies campaigns (against teen pregnancy with a PSA set to run tonight during "Gossip Girl." And USA Today refused to run the ad) (Jossip)
- Blah Girls deals with teen sexuality (who knew Ashton Kutcher's web project would end up being "radical") (L.A. Times, reg. required)
- The CW = comeback kid (big ratings turn around this season – including for oldies like "One Tree Hill". And look closely: The girls get new phones.) (New York Times, reg. required) (Media Life Magazine) (Textually)
- DanceJam launches a Bebo app (and Gaia gets IM)
- Worries over teen hackers (high school dropouts and 10-year-olds with high IQs becoming alcoholics) (BBC) (L.A. Times, reg. required) (MSNBC)
- MySpace re-embraces indie music (Trendcentral tells us who stood out at CMJ and the RIAA wins $7K from a 20-year-old caught file-sharing as a teen. And teens can win a band to play at their prom – have no idea who is behind that competition… Update: Win the Ultimate Prom is sponsored by Grand Canyon University, one of the fastest growing private Christian universities in the country, and managed by VERGO Marketing, an educational marketing agency, both based in Phoenix, Arizona.)
- Tina Wells says… (Obama's race not a factor in the youth vote) (Huffington Post)
- New research says (we all have a case of arrested development) (MarketingVOX)
- Department store DJs (discovered by the Washington Post, reg. required. And anti-networking networking coffee events called Likemind discovered by the New York Times, reg. required)
- The 25 most expensive colleges (may suffer since more parents are choosing public over private in these financial hard times. Even so, the Ivy League brand remains strong or at least recognizable) (Consumerist) (USA Today) (Brand Channel)
- Nintendo doing well (in spite of tough times – 50 percent of Nintendo customers are female. Et tu, Guitar Hero? BTW – I played Rockband for the first time this weekend. Who knew I had talent as a drummer?) (L.A. Times, reg. required)
P.S. Harry Potter fans – new trailer alert. And a fun list of 18 other "High School Musicals" from Entertainment Weekly.
