I agree, the wikipedia entry makes it seem like there are great similarities, but I would feel more comfortable if some band from Pennsylvania or Ohio had produced the cover.

As a big fan of both 80s Britpop and modern Country (Sugarland are a fave), I think that they're both great. Interestingly, some of the social experiences sung about in modern country music are strongly akin to the social experience of the North in Dream Academy's original. If you take a look at the Wikipedia entry for the song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_In_A_Northern_Town), you can trace the threads of kinship. They make sense. Still, I can't see The Housemartins getting covered by SHeDAISY any time soon. I don’t know that this is quite “defacement”.

It would also be nice to include a line asking about how the proposed tactics can be integrated with what the company is already doing. Nice post Colin.

My favourite part of the video is how hard the focus group moderator is trying to not crack up. That is just excellent.

Personally I take it one step further and add in a channel audit to get a grasp on the "where & how" of their current marketing communications to see where things may be breaking down.
