If you watched the Academy Awards on Sunday, you’ll know that the Hurt Locker was the big winner of the bunch.  However, as a marketer I found one nomination and subsequent victory to be very interesting – the winner of the animated short film category:  Logorama.  This is a film entirely dedicated to brands.  They do a marvelous job of incorporating hundreds of logos in a compelling and entertaining short…don’t take my word for it – the entire spot is embedded below.  I’m still trying to find our Intel logo in the mix… if you find it – leave a comment with the timestamp of where in the video it is…

“When it comes to brands, 70% of bloggers are talking about them. 46% of respondents post about the brands they love (or hate), while and 38% post brand or product reviews. Part-Timers, and Self-Employed bloggers are talking about brands at a much higher rate (80%), with one in three posting reviews at least once a week.” (courtesy: Technorati)
