The 22 (somewhat) Immutable Laws of Buzz

2

August 29, 2006 by Colin

Sean got the ball rolling with the 22 Immutable Laws of Word of Mouth, I threw in the 22 Immutable Laws of Blogging, and Tamera Kremer has followed up with the 22 Immutable Laws of Customer Engagement. Here’s my take on the 22 (somewhat) Immutable Laws of Buzz:

  1. Indie cred, commercial dead
  2. Feed your fans’ hunger for information
  3. Sponsor a “D” list celebrity event
  4. Promotions targeted to extreme niches
  5. Win their hearts: build credibility with new audiences
  6. Bright lights, big titties. Leverage celebrity connections. Or sex.
  7. A heavy ValPak buy. Just kidding.
  8. Hit the local social circuit – in outrageous clothing
  9. Lifestyle reporters: ten dollar words, ten cent facts
  10. Celebrity gifting: Local weathermen are surprisingly affordable
  11. Chase’s Calendar of Events: the art of piggybacking
  12. Car Accident or Sales Record: Just spell my name right
  13. Teen hits drive time > AOR hourly
  14. Community weeklies: filling news holes weekly
  15. When in doubt, let your publicist leak it out
  16. Post no bills: really, it’s just a suggestion
  17. Try local late night, the cpm is lower. (So is the return)
  18. Celebrity endorsements: there’s gold in the 1990 Fox television schedule
  19. Guerrilla marketing – at community soccer games
  20. Public Access Cable: the Dead Zone
  21. BOGO does not create buzz. Unless you’re a mortician
  22. All Hail Empress Oprah

Update: Bob at Flacklife has published his 22 somewhat immutable laws of evaluation.

    Liber generationis Jesu Christi

    “Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made. Behold, the church of St. Cuthbert spattered with the blood of the priests of God, despoiled of all its ornaments; a place more venerable than all in Britain is given as a prey to pagan peoples.”

    Alcuin, Letter to Ethelred, King of Northumbria
