Market Bosworth

think of the united states as one big black market. or think of it as the underground railroad. it's not really there, but you know it's happening.

it's basically where anyone trades goods or services for money. this money is untaxed, and unregulated, generally involving products such as narcotics, prostitutes, or even booze. it's possible the greatest market ever conceived.

Tom: Wanna go to the black market this weekend?
Billy: By which you mean go to the red light district and get some hookers?
Tom: No I meant go to you're dealer and get some heroin.
Billy: Oh, why didn't you say so?

spiral marketing

A marketing campaign often designed (although not necessarily) as a larger game, challenge, or treasure hunt. Begins life focused at a small, tight core group and spirals its way out in a predictable and controllable fashion into the mainstream consciousness. The eventual goal is to create as much user-generated excitement and subsequent media interest as possible, while only spending marketing dollars on the product itself. First coined by Frank O'Connor of Bungie.

Wow, that spiral marketing campaign was innovative and ground-breaking!

interstitial marketing

the process of coining new marketing buzzwords to fill the gaping void that has been left by the fact that "viral marketing" as a buzzword is now too cliche.

Political campaigns are now resorting to interstitial marketing to spread their message amongst young voters.
