Blue Dogs Tips In Viral Marketing via NEW & Improved ScentTrail Marketing

Blue Dogs Tips In Viral Marketing via NEW & Improved ScentTrail Marketing | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Artist George Rodrigue Painted his last blue dog last week, but the "blue dog" virus lives on sharing valuable viral marketing lessons.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Loved that little blue dog. He was so present, so curious and supportive. Cajun artist George Rodrugue painted his last blue dog last week, but he is with us still.

Rodrigue's blue dog teaches valuable lessons in how to create a cultural myth, a meme that builds on itself, is unforgettable and fun:

  • Arresting visual images help.
  • When you find the icon let it get GOOD to you.
  • Fun mixed with mystery and irony works well.
  • Good creation story is important.
  • When in doubt, paint it BLUE.
  • Let your icon become THEIR icon.
  • Turn a pattern on its head a little.

Finally moving away from the Scenttrail.blogspot.com blog I started in 2007 to learn about how Google treated content marketing. Long strange trip that saw its share of blue dogs. Thanks for the nearly 100,000 visitors, hundreds of great comments and fantastic shares. 

Like Rodrigue I couldn't have gotten HERE without a lot of help. Now that we are HERE time to let THERE go like a blue dog's ghost.
