Digital advertising and marketing: only the best ideas worldwide, since 2003

Beautiful experiments about Internet gifts and stolen pixels

on December 20, 2010 by Daniel Comments

I love these little projects without brand, experiments with an interesting point of view about how users or media behaves, often understanding that better than most of the brands out there. First of them is Gift a follower, a nice way to reward (in the form of a surprise bag) one of your many followers-friends in social media space at a $1 rate. 100.000.000 stolen pixels is an interesting experiment from Kim Asendorf, stealing pixels from another sites in order to create an archive-directory of them. Would be nice applied to other elements of digital media space, like stealing pixels from horrible banners to make them “in jail”, or things like that

Hotmail Spain: to change so you could like them more

on December 20, 2010 by Daniel Comments

This one is a clever one, from DoubleYou for Microsoft in Spain. To talk about the new developments and capabilities of Hotmail service, and based on the claim “we’ve changed so you’d like us more”, a 30-day real-time campaign was created, with a boy trying to change (asking users for help and collaboration) so he could get her girlfriend back in love with him again: The product is then shown, as a medium for the boy to achieve something and not as the main thing of the campaign, i love this. There was some discussion about if the story was true or faked, and although i think it’s true, does it really matter? the content and the organic nature of the whole thing makes it entertaining enough as to be one of the cutest thing i’ve seen coming from Spain lately.

A different (available) shoe everyday, no matter what the weather is, is the concept for this lovely iPad weather application done by HerraizSoto&Co for Camper, called “Have a Camper Day”, where meteorological elements have been made from pret-a-porter materials, and then turnedinto musical instruments that react to touch.

Paradores Ice Xmas

on December 13, 2010 by Daniel Comments

I like this action from JWT/Delvico Madrid for Paradores (a tourism partnership in Spain) because is so simple and because you wouldn’t expect that client doing this kind of stuff. If you feel like going on vacation, give it a try at Ice Xmas. Post your bet about when you think this giant ice cube will melt and win the key (that opens unique rooms to spend Christmas time) trapped inside of it:
