FOLLOW UP: Gangnam Style

Since my last post about Psy's viral Korean hit single "Gangnam Style", the track has continued to spread globally and gain even more media attention!

Psy has become the first Korean artist ever to rank #1 on the U.S. iTunes Chart. He also ranks #1 on iTunes in various other countries including Canada, Norway, Denmark, New Zealand and more!

Check out Nelly Furtado dancing to the track and singing a bit of it during a recent concert in Manila! Thanks to @Littl3Madam on Twitter for sending me the video!

Britney Spears and Ellen Degeneres are even learning the dance! Psy made an appearance on The Ellen Show to teach them the dance, introducing himself as "Psy from Korea", showing his Korean pride.

Keep on paving the way for asian artists Psy!

Ghost Goes Viral

I posted a tweet a few days ago asking followers what their favourite social media campaign was.

One of the responses came from social media and digital marketer @AspirantSG. His favourite campaign is the 2008 Raffles Place Ghost for recruitment and HR consultancy GMP, which aimed at raising brand awareness and making GMP the ideal choice for job seekers by encouraging a work-life balance. They did this by sending the amusingly haunting message that people should not work late.

What are your thoughts on this campaign?

The Future of Jobseeking

I've just come across this Youtube video whilst I was checking out @Cloud Nine Media Recruitment's website(@CloudNine Media Recruitment) and found it to be really interesting.


I was always told that when you are tailoring your CV to fit a job description, you always want it to be interesting to the reader and catch their attention amongst the hundreds or thousands of other CV's the company may receive.


To quote Graeme Anthony(@comms_anarchist), "Let's face it, communications have changed". With a social media revolution happening, there are so many ways to present yourself not only to the public, but to companies that are looking to hire.
