There are superb examples scattered all over. The problem is, they're scattered all over. Perhaps we should start a thread for Maurice featuring the best of the best so he has something to easily pick from.

I always think of this one http://www.subaru-global.com/news2011n001100.html as one of the most memorable.

One area I would like to get feedback on is how do we get the right things happening on facebook? Advertising is way beyond our budgets in general and not very effective unless we have a very specific call to action (e.g. upgrades), as a result most advertsing is driven by sales promos. However I actually think there are better and more viral ways of getting the word out. Recently we have been having more success with SM. We have had a lot of success with our Softimage page (now at over 20,000) as well as the Digital Media page http://www.facebook.com/AutodeskDigitalMedia , which for the reasons described here, is becoming a bit of a second Softimage home.

That's great to hear! I'd have to agree, SI is a fantastic and very complete solution for small to mid size shops. Hopefully, there is some targeted advertising in this area.
