Last week I launched an open call to bloggers to ask questions and do a “virtual interview” with me about the book. I had 55 bloggers take me up on the offer and I recently went through the list and highlighted what I thought were the top 12 interviews. You can see the list below, and vote for your favourite in the poll below. The top five vote getters (and the #1 write-in vote getter) will all get signed copies of the book, and the Blogger with the most votes will get a $100 gift certificate from Amazon.com. Enjoy the interviews and happy voting!

Hi Rohit, you asked for some suggestions for using sound in your marketing outreach. The book has a strong visual idea, but what does it sound like? Source a unique, meaningful sound. This could be a piece of music that is identifiable and individual to PNI (remember: are you marketing your brand, or the music artists?). Or it could be a soundbite - how about a combination of an unwinding clockwork chicken ending with a power-chicken fanfare (I’m thinking Foghorn-Leghorn, or a great line from ‘Chicken Run’ - but that might be taking the analogy too far!). Once you have your sound, use it consistently but selectively to ‘audio brand’ PNI in the same way you would with a visual identity. For example, you could use it podcasts or videos, audio book (Kindle here you come!), on Camtasia videos or webcasts, or in a short opt-in audio greeting on your PNI site. The skys the limit!
Thanks for putting me into the top 12. I’ll be glad to get some votes and win the book. Cheers, Ronna
