50 Shades of Grey Blackberry subtle advertising effectiveness

Its the talk of the town - well at least in Sri Lankan twittersphere. She was the pioneer in driving the hype for the book in Twitter and i was given  a chance to glance through the pages.


Following is the part about Blackberry - Dont know if the author E.L.James(Female) got paid for it or just added to show prestige of Grey using a Blackberry.



In a time where RIM is going down the drain, having doubts about aquisition and this "Blackberry going down" news is all over the media, she tweeted this
And i asked her whether it was because of the book, following is the tweet and thats enough for me to prove the effectiveness of advertising. Period.

  2. She did write the first book ( that I know off, dunno about number 2 and 3) in a Blackberry. So I guess that's why she advertises it.
