Motorola opens MotoQ profile on Myspace
After Pirates of the Carribbean and Burger King, it’s Motorola’s time to use MySpace as advertising platform with it’s MotoQ profile.
Media Post reports that the profile was created by Carat Fusion and launched on June 2. As of Friday, June, 9, the profile has accumulated 2,499 MySpace friends. Users are encouraged to download wallpapers, video, animated moving type, and discussion forums about the phone.
Could this be online advertising 2.0? MySpace is a proverbial box of chocolates and so advertisers are still at a loss as to how its millions of members will react to corporate profiles or balance the negative perceptions left by online predators in social networks, such as MySpace.
According to Steve Ustaris, group media director for Carat Fusion:
“Obviously, at first they were a little skeptical, just because of all the negative press MySpace was getting—but we did things like having MySpace come in and explain all the preventative and reactive measures they’ve been taking to deal with what’s been going on.”
And yeah, that Q looks yummy.
