sanofi aventisShirley Ledlie is a cancer survivor who claims to have experienced permanent hair loss from SA’s cancer drug Taxotere.

Motrin MomsOne Friday afternoon, the brand managers at Motrin launched a light-hearted video that they hoped would quickly become viral. Moms, it turned out, didn’t find the ad funny. They were offended. They said it felt like Motrin was picking on new moms. That Motrin didn’t understand. That it wasn’t painful. And, importantly that they wouldn’t be buying Motrin again ever.

US Air Flight 1549On January 15, 2009, around 3:40 in the afternoon, US Airways Flight 1549 crashed in the Hudson. Ten minutes later, the first pictures of the accident appeared on Twitter.
Although US Air quickly caught up to the story, in the crucial minutes after the accident, the brand was following, not leading, the information flow.
