I know it might sound crazy, but sometimes we all think about crazy things, aren't we :) So, my crazy idea, actually it might be not so crazy, in fact many colleagues in Linkedin expressed their support and courage in this social endeavor :)
So, let me explain, recently I created a very short and clumsy Youtube (didn't find more appropriate word for it) presentation with tribute to Milla for her spectacular role in Resident Evil franchise on the premiere of four part: Afterlife.
Being a social media enthusiast my believe (proven by practice in business world) is that social media can help you to reach almost everyone, almost everyone, if he:
1. Participates in SM himself - not through agents
2. Not political, military, UFO-scientifical special department agent....bla bla bla
3. Know what is the Internet
Applying my passion to Social Media in my work I saw incredible results in getting in touch with people who was unaccessible otherwise, so full of optimism I started discussion on Linkedin.
Is Social Media powerful enough to help me reach Holywood star?
In which I asked other professionals if Social Media has enough potential to help me realize this "crazy" aim. To my surprise I found quite a positive reactions, with quite a realistic agendas on how to implement it.
But still, I think it's not so easy...and will take a lot of efforts, reasonable efforts (excluding rains of messages and status updates). I need a strategy - real-word practical strategy!
Started from analysis I found that Milla or her authorized profile on Twitter being a Ukrainian-born doesn't have any Ukrainian she follows, she has a Russian - popular comic guy Ivan Urgant (who I like as well) and one more, but no Ukrainians, so I wrote her about it :)
Question: do you give any chance for my Twitter soon being followed by Mila?
I would be extremely glad to know opinion of other colleagues as for the feasibility of this "crazy" idea and steps that can help me.
Here is the tribute itself, hope it makes you smile at least once :) Thanks!
I remember considering this some time ago when I embarked on a marketing campaign. Not because I wanted to contact someone 'famous' on a whim but because I wanted them to get involved in my project.
ReplyDeleteUltimately, if you are trying to contact someone who doesn't want to be contacted, you need to have a good reason if you wish to be heard. I've had plenty of success contacting popular actors and musicians simply by approaching their agents sensibly. It's really not that difficult.
Of course trolling Lily Allen's blog or tweeting Stephen Fry is all well and good, the trick is how to be heard amongst the noise.
So it's not a crazy idea, people do it all the time, but I expect you will be considered crazy if your only goal is to make them see a pointless message for the sake of your blog / ego. Good luck!
