maybe a better way to inform investors...
here is an article /PR just issued by Panache Beverage. i am an investor in WDKA and still buying. they announced they are committing 85% of marketing/advertising dollars to online media vs. tradition print to build their brands. so - there is nothing wrong with the social media root. the BIG difference is their attention to the investment side. their numbers are also significantly better and the track record of success with the key players has already been established.
IF HJOE wants to be taken seriously by long term investors, they need to take this kind of approach with WS or they will be taken out before they can "make it".
Alibi American Whiskey Launches; Dedicates 85% of Total Consumer Marketing Spend to Digital
"Scandal App" and Crowdsourcing at the Center of the Campaign
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 07/01/13 -- Alibi American Whiskey, from Panache Beverages Inc. (OTCQB: WDKA), is approaching its brand marketing campaign in a unique way, dedicating 85% of its consumer marketing spend to digital, social and mobile. The campaign focuses almost solely on brand building and organic grassroots awareness around the brand's edgy positioning and desire to be a part of the conversation on all things "controversial."
At the center of the campaign is its Scandal app; an new application that allows users to capture and submit images of anyone or anything they think may need an Alibi and instantly publish an image with real time voting, allowing people to decide for themselves if an Alibi is deserved.
The free app uses crowdsourcing to determine the culprit's accountability. The app ties in seamlessly with other social media platforms enabling frictionless sharing -- once published, voting on any individual scandal remains with the original content, regardless of where its published. As more votes are cast the scales tilt and the "yes" or "no" percentages are broken down to show to the crowd's majority opinion.
The campaign will be supported with national digital media via TMZ, Spin Media and Woven Media as well as a series of content partnerships. Engine Shop developed the marketing strategy and manages all marketing, advertising and promotions for Panache.
