You’re in marketing for one reason: Grow. Grow your company, reputation, customers, impact, profits. Grow yourself. This is a community that will help. It will stretch your mind, connect you to fascinating people, and provide some fun along the way. I am so glad you’re here. -Mark Schaefer
This week Mattel announced a new video Barbie that has a tiny camera embedded in her chest (YouBoob?). The iconic doll has fully joined the social media movement by leading her fans through a Foursquare scavenger hunt, Facebook puzzles, and YouTube adventures. She even has a Twitter account.
Check out her tweet stream (from my imagination):
So here I am laying in a pile of naked Barbies again. Feeling a strange tingly sensation. : p
@Skipper Of course I’m bitchy. My boyfriend’s a eunuch.
Have you heard about new Blogger Barbie? Sits at the computer all day. WTF?
Just got back from the set of Toy Story 3. Potato Head was wasted again. #douchebag
@Ken No, no honey. Eunuch is Spanish word for HOT! Luv U baby!
Let’s dress up! I want to be Lady Gaga and shoot fire from my boobs!
Sitting at the Dream House watching #OldSpice on YouTube. Yeah, well my man smells like polychlorates.
I would give anything to be able to take a good crap.
@mattel So sick of pink I could hurl. Am I being sponsored by Pepto Bismol? #newcontract
Head just popped off again. Not easy texting with nose.
@Ken LOL! Polychlorates is the Spanish word for cinnamon silly! Luv U baby!
I have now been under this damn couch for a week. Need to get my drink on.
Being chewed up by the dog. Later!
For my friends around the world who are unfamiliar with Barbie, this was not real. It is supposed to be funny.
