Three Unbelievable Ways Internet Marketing Has Been Used By The Military

A couple years ago the Navy took a black eye for advertising on gay Web sites. Gays are not allowed to serve in the Navy if they are open about their sexual orientation. Campbell-Ewald, the Navy's advertising agency responsible for the campaign, quickly came under fire. Apparently the agency was not aware that Glee.com (a well-known social networking site for gay and lesbians individuals) was added to the campaign by a network provider. Subsequently, the Navy promptly put their account up for review. Ultimately Campbell-Ewald was able to keep the business.

The U.S. Navy used social media to connect proud Moms of enlisted soldiers with anxious Moms who are apprehensive about having their sons and daughters join the Navy. The effort was conceived by Campbell-Ewald and launched into NAVYforMoms.com - a social networking site that allows frank discussion between loved ones of Navy members. The site won an Effie Award for it's effectiveness in delivering results. Effie Awards are given to marketing campaigns that have proven to drive results.

The Army has a Facebook-like social media site called milBook. It's a social networking tool for Army personnel that allows them to share news, photos, and comments with fellow soldiers. The site is hosted securely behind a firewall, so Army soldiers can discuss sensitive information without civilians reading it. MilBook was launched in late 2009.
