Further to this thread, I was trying to inventory all the places where people could see/encounter Ubuntu, if there was a solid marketing campaign in place:
- print (magazines, newspapers, etc.) - online placements (e.g. Google Ads) - tv commercials - paid tv placements (inserted into shows) - radio - billboards - posters - blimps and aerial craft - paid movie placements - team and venue sponsorships - community events/markets - street marketing - industry (trade) shows - store display - splash-screens on pre-installed systems (e.g. Ubuntu Light) - product co-branding (e.g. an ad on another product) Rather than pick favourites or debate the merits of one medium over another, please add to this list in the hopes of making it exhaustive. Where do you currently see our competitors' product grabbing your attention?
