Marketing & Strategy Innovation Blog

With Adidas, American Apparel, and the starwood hotel opening i really just ignored it as a sort of “me too” thing. That was until I saw their introductory video on YouTube that was entirely filmed in SecondLife and provides a great introduction as to why SecondLife is a communication tool of growing importance.

Apart from the fact that this supports the message that Text100 can serve as a guide to companies around the communication opportunities in SecondLife, it demonstrates a wonderful way use SecondLife for corporate videos. Think about virtual tours of facilities, product launches, even testing product concepts. It seems to me that SecondLife is a great opportunity to help customers experience aspects of your company, your products, your ideas, in ways that are more visceral and tangible.

UPDATE: My friend Gif Constable from the ElectricSheep Company pointed out that I should really be reading his blog Text100 is an ElectricSheep client, and of course Gif blogged about this PR Machinima over 10 days ago! A lifetime in the blogosphere.
