This is an hilarious and brilliant way to promote your beer in Argentina, by Del Campo, Nazca Saatchi and Saatchi for Andes. Any description i provide wouldn't be worthy of the campaign itself, so check this video out to see what is it about:
Everybody needs a website. Even a banana. Chiquita has recently launched an heavy Flash website to promote its bananas. To be honest the website has nice visuals but it's pretty dull in contents. A banana is a funny product, there are so many things to invent with it (don't get me wrong!! :-) that I would have expected Chiquita to crazy and use more irony.
Did you know that behind Google there is an old, fast and wise librarian? See it yourself at www.insideyoursearch.com. Of course she's fast and effective because she eats Weetabix...
I can't help having contrasting feelings about this campaign. At first I found it smart and simple, but now I'm not sure about the idea of relying on another brand popularity to sell another brand. I find it kind of weak and surely applyable to more brands than just Weetabix.
Martini Netherlands released this entertaining film, featuring some pretty people having their 'Martini Moments'. Interesting is the fact that it is a web only film, which is still pretty unique in Holland. When distributed right, such film can set the emotion around your brand, which can be very valuable. Hope to see more..
Pt 2 of Birds Vs Humans this afternoon. I was delivered a locked wooden box which had a tag on the front that asked me to revisit the website. Once I did that I was given a code to unlock the box. Inside was a stack of fresh apples and a cooler filled with ice and bottles of the new cider 5 Seeds. The facebook page also had further content uploaded revealing the creative idea behind all the hype. Cool hype campaign and looks like the production values are huge! The agency is Holler.
Absolut is one of the brands that better understands the concept of branded content, and this new site for their "Rock edition" vodka bottle, called "You're with the band", is another proof of that: a documentary made by Danny Clinch on how's the life of a rock band such as Wolfmother (site by Great Works)
I just came across this cool new campaign for a new apple cider in Australia. To celebrate the release of Tooheys Extra Dry 5 Seeds, Holler Sydney have developed a teaser campaign, hiding giant apples all over Sydney for the next 10 days. Track one down and you've got a shot at picking up one of the prizes.
Clues as to the apple's whereabouts are given out through the 5 Seeds Facebook page and Twitter stream where you can also follow the tag #applehunt.
It's nice to see agencies blurring the line between online and offline, utilising the increase of web-ready mobile devices, allowing people to take the campaign with them onto the streets and away from their computer.
NYC law requires restaurants with over 10 locations to label their menus with calorie totals. But, do you think you can estimate the right amount of calories in these places? Calorie Confusion is an interesting app done by Matt Daniels to gain some perspective on the need of data transparency.
With a similar quality of production but much less playable than the year before, it's more of a visual experience than a game, apparently i need a Doritos bag to finish playing, somebody help me?
From Australia, Wicked Energy is an energy drink whose bottle has been illustrated (don't know if just for this campaign) by different tattoo-related artists. Quite straight and simple, the site also includes beautiful downloads and even a game, so you can play being the dragon trying to reach the top of the bottle.
