Marketingese

Anyone who’s ever worked with marketers can relate to this. Comedian and Fortune 100 consumer product director Kevin Nalts brilliantly strings together big meaningless words as the Enlightened Stupid Marketer.

I have a confession to make. When I was younger, I thought this sort of pretentious marketingese was “cool”. My first few jobs were in marketing, so I used to talk like my elders did. Guilty as charged here.

Level Up Machinima Contest on YouTube

Unlike last year, Philippine game publisher Level Up now accepts entries for its annual machinima contest via YouTube. Smart move. Here’s one of the entries, from RF Online.

Next year, they might want to try YouTube’s contest system. I’d use a canonical event tag to folksonomically link this post to their upcoming event, but they haven’t set one yet.
