[arg_discuss] Topic of the Week June 29: How's the SIG?

[Julien Aubert]

I've been working in the wine industry. We had a Wine Industry Union who was
working to increase the global demand in French Wine in the world. They were
doing studies, press review, advertising, events,website. This list work in
the same way for me. And do fine.

I lurk since almost a year now. This is list is really great because I can
read discussions about the will of ARGs between people I follow on Twitter
or blogs "the legends of ARGs" discussing. This is meaningfull. I remember I
liked a lot the discussions about the typology of the ARGs, it actually
drove you further... talking about games, story-telling, etc...

I hope to find more and more case studies and statistics more generally
feedback about ARGs. When I try to sensitize people behind brands in France,
they always say we don't have enough facts and numbers. I know this is not
the real problem with getting marketing executives into a project but this
always help.

Thank you a lot ;)
