&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNcWRbh8wQA" target="_blank"&gt;Marina Abramovic meets Ulay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“En los años 70, Marina Abramovic mantuvo una intensa historia de amor con Ulay. Pasaron 5 años viviendo en una furgoneta realizando toda clase de performances. En 1988, cuando su relación ya no daba para más, decidieron recorrer la Gran Muralla China, empezando cada uno de un lado, para encontrarse en el medio, abrazarse y no volver a verse nunca más. En 2010 el MoMa de Nueva York dedicó una retrospectiva a su obra. Dentro de la misma, Marina compartía un minuto en silencio con cada extraño que se sentaba frente a ella. Ulay llegó sin que ella lo supiera, y esto fue lo que pasó”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Super Bowl ads, as we all know, were a &lt;a href="http://keithrbyrne.tumblr.com/post/42278539619/a-disappointing-post-on-the-disappointment-of" target="_blank"&gt;grave, grave disappointment&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The consensus “winner,” at least among agency folk, was Oreo. Their “real-time” response was &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/04/oreos-super-bowl-tweet-dunk-dark_n_2615333.html%20%20%20" target="_blank"&gt;rightly praised&lt;/a&gt; for being clever, fun and perfectly timed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then came the Oscars, and scores of brands had their own social…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Translation: Whatever. We don’t get social media.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Unscripted mishaps that occur live, during mainstream news events can be the trigger for a point-release avalanche-style marketing campaign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Point-release avalanches start when a natural or man-made disturbance triggers a point source fracture at a localized spot, but then fans outward as it descends, picking up size and speed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sen. Rubio’s cottonmouth was the point source for what could have been the start of a much greater campaign, as awareness of the brand was suddenly thrust onto the national stage. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But you have to be ready for it, and get it.&lt;/p&gt;
