2 bloggers with 2 balls @ Coke Euro 2008 Campaign launch

The days in Malaysia are not exactly the same anymore, in recent years, bloggers have become more influential. Especially after the election in last month, people from various parties, organizations, companies opened their eyes and start to admit to the influence of bloggers. In their posts, Bloggers may be part of the media doing the job of promoting and advertising indirectly.

And so, more and more bloggers are invited to attend Press Screenings, Media Events, Campaign/Product Launch and etc.

Yesterday, i went to the launch of Coke Euro 2008 Consumer Campaign as part of the media, as a blogger.

Robb from Nuffnang was the one who sent out the invitations to a few bloggers and it turns out that i'm the only one who is interested in the invitation + free at that time.

I wouldn't say i'm a hardcore soccer fan, but i do watch soccer and i do have a team where i support which is the Red Devils, so i decided to go to this event when i saw the mail.

going to the place wasn't difficult for me, but finding a place to park is, luckily, i reached in time and found a place to park and met Robb there.

On the way in, being a"frog under the well", i saw quite many people from the media, all with tags, cameramen, reporters from TV3, NTV7 and etc.

Well, frankly speaking being part of THEM is quite weird,

I DO NOT HAVE A TAG, NOR A NAMECARD, I'M JUST A BLOGGER ><

speech by Ms Jasmin Vinculado [Marketing Manager - Spore/Msia]

a short advertisement about Euro2008 by Coca-Cola came up after the speech
and so, Robb and i were the only bloggers there......
