Carlsberg put friends to the test

Jaguar’s F-Type Short Film

Social is dead without content

Oreo is one of the best examples of ‘social content’ I’ve seen recently.  It heralds a new approach to content creation that’s real time and reactive… but instead of a oneshot approach it’s in a programme format.

We’ve already written brands & open conversations here.  What’s interesting is that Oreo has developed a content programme over 100 days designed to tap into any memes or cultural trends that present themselves.  I love the great craft skills – it’s nice to see great art direction and copy. Take a look at the case study below for more.
