'Let me take a selfie'

Here in the UK it is Mother's Day today and it would appear that THE QUEEN has jumped on the bandwagon of taking a 'selfie'. The well loved corgi's feature on the back of her iPhone case and other members of the royal family can be seen posing.

Whilst this photo looks convincing, they are indeed FAKE!

The photos were commissioned by NotOnTheHighsStreet.com  and artists Alison Jackson for a light-hearted Mothers Day PR stunt.

There are more pictures and youtube video (below) of the PR stunt.

140 characters twist

Disney released a tweet to announce their latest bi-coastal all night extravaganza on memorial weekend. The company took a new twist on the 140 character limit of tweets by including 140 disney characters shaped into a hashtag (picture below). The tweet told people to 'rock your disney side'. I loved the simple nature yet inventiveness of this tweet and using a trademark of disney (the characters) and humouring it to the twitter tweet limit.  

It will be interesting to see if this tactic will be used by other organisations in the future.
