Lame Marketing

Amanda Greer writes a blog on artsjournal.com on the marketing of classical music, called "Life's a Pitch".  She posted an entry on the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, commenting on how atrocious the marketing style of the group is for an otherwise really innovative orchestra.  I took a brief visit to the overly pink and cutesy website, which, at first glance, reminded me of the websites of companies targeting their products at pre-adolescent/teenage girls.  There is a video page that introduces some really fantastic projects that the BP presents; yet unfortunately, the form of presentation of the videos is really lame!!! (In my opinion, at least)  The first one is titled "I love BP".
