The Epica Awards have been assigned recently. Among the others, you should have a look at the winner for the best mobile marketing campaign. The agency is one of my favourites, Forsman & Bodenfors very well know for a lot of cool things done on the Web for Ikea. This time they worked for AMF Pension with the aim to encourage people to start thinking about their pension while they were still relatively young.

Outdoor advertising invited passers-by to take a picture of themselves with their mobile phones and to MMS it to the pension-provider. A few minutes later AMF sent back a picture showing how the person might look when they are 70 years old.

Interesting!

It is interesting to see pension companies doing innovative marketing. A few months ago insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield impressed me with their innovative campaign: http://www.culture-buzz.com/blog/When-Insurance-Meets-Street-Marketing-1824.html

Who says pensions and insurance are boring? :)
