If you think the NBA is smart, keep in mind that brackets to pick hot babes is something we’ve been doing in radio for years. For this March Madness season, the NBA is using online voting to help pick the best Dance Team. Jacobs Media clients have used NCAA-style bracketing for everything from choosing the best Rock bands to Rock Girls’ voting. The Bone in San Francisco wrapped up their Rock Girl competition last week with an incredibly successful campaign that has generated over one million visits and thousands and thousands of new sign-ups. Now that’s democracy at work. (Thanks to Keith Cunningham for noticing this campaign.)
