I Present Naked to the Board of Directors

February 15, 2010 in Ad, Corporate Presentability, Language : English, Speaking Tips | No comments


I Present Naked to the Board of Directors | Source : DavidBaeza on twitpic.com


New stunning campaign from Citrix for is GoToMeeting solution. A true eyes catching ad, with an intriguing message.

We collaborate Naked | Source : DavidBaeza on twitpic.comHow can you be naked to present to the board or to collaborate with coworkers? (see picture beside from Los Angeles Airport).

You have to use GoToMeeting. It is a solution for online meeting.

The message is simple: you can do your meeting from the comfort of your home without the office dressing code (or naked if you prefer).

Citrix targets a growing trend in business. Telecommuting (not nakedness!).

Pure effectiveness. I like that campaign.


Really naked

Is there people participating to online meeting naked? According to a recent study, yes (CNBC).

About one in five UK participants in conference calls have called in while naked. Almost half have worn only their underwear while 68 percent have only worn pajamas, a survey by BT Conferencing showed Wednesday.

Is it the start of a new trend?


How would you feel to really present naked?

In 2005 Garr Reynolds post a brilliant article: Make your next presentation naked. It is not about removing clothes, but removing everything that is not contributing to the message.

Being naked involves stripping away all that is unnecessary to get at the essence of your message. The naked presenter approaches the presentation task embracing the ideas of simplicity, clarity, honesty, integrity, and passion.

According to this post, you should “Present naked to the board of directors”.


Twitter campaign

To my knowledge, Citrix is one of the first to use a Twitter hashtag in a billboard campaign (Twitter is a social media and a hashtag is a keyword helping people categorize the information. The # symbol is preceding the keyword.)

For the campaign,  Citrix have chosen the hashtag #getnaked and they are suggesting people to publish their story on Twitter.

You can search Twitter with the hashtag and see the contributions of the users.

The campaign is not targeting the technological challenged people. It is targeting those who use and understand those technologies.

Citrix is innovating with this campaign in leveraging the social media. Good move.

We will see more and more of this kind of campaign


Some fun

On the lighter side, here are some of the gems I found searching Twitter with the #getnaked hashtag.

Creative ad – A Bus Stop with a Tuque

February 4, 2010 in Ad, Corporate Presentability, Language : English | No comments


Bus Stop with Tuque in Quebec City | PRESENTability.comA bus stop wearing a tuque!! I saw one on twitpic today,

I know it is cold in Quebec City (I leave there), but this is really funny. It is real creativity.

Thanks to @LaGeeke for the information and the picture.

As you can see the tuque is related to the milk ad. It is part of the campaign “Soirée réconfortante” (free translation: comforting evening).

I found some information about the campaign and more pictures on INFOPRESSE.com (French)

How to create a magazine cutout look for your next presentation

December 18, 2009 in Language : English, Slides, Speaking Tips | 4 comments

.

Does all the corporate presentation look the same? Boring plain corporate template?

David Anderson demonstrates, in this online tutorial, how to create a different slide design for your next presentation. It is a magazine cutout look.

.

Picture: Magazine Cutout Effect

.

This tutorial is for E-learning Design and Development. However, as it is based on PowerPoint, we can use some of its ideas for public speaking.

.

.

By David Anderson. You can reach him on Twitter (@elearning) & at multimedialearning.com


UPDATE: Vivek Singh published some pertinent observations about this magazine cutout look:

1. Situation: You need to know when to use this technique and how. This template design should be used for informal situations and definitely not for quarterly review presentations. However, marketers and advertising professionals do have some more ‘creative’ liberty to use it in formal settings.

You can read his observation in his blog
