Posted in: UncategorizedVolvo | Strongest Truck
Posted in: UncategorizedA fabricante de caminhões Volvo Trucks lançou um advergame como ferramenta coadjuvante na campanha para apresentar seu novo modelo FH16. Apesar de ser uma frente secundária na campanha, o game interativo possui uma fácil navegação e um objetivo simples: correr contra o tempo e deixar o seu caminhão Volvo FH16 mais forte e potente. O que facilita atrair um grande número de pessoas curiosas.
O hotsite que abriga o advergame, afirmou que irá dar prêmios aos jogadores que obtiverem os melhores desempenhos no jogo. Revelou, ainda, as datas em que os prêmios serão entregues, e está listando o ranking dos donos das melhores pontuações.
Os prêmios consistem em acessórios de moda, como jaquetas e camisetas fabricadas exclusivamente para o lançamento da nova linha de caminhões da marca. Os acessórios são da Volvo Trucks Collection, que por sinal eu havia escrito sobre (aqui) no INvertido.

As we watch time and cost trends curve up, it's easy to freak out. Our precious concepts seem in danger of collapsing under the operational burden of too many moving parts on too many screens. Our friends in the software field had this same freak-out in the '90s and they came through it OK, but transformed. I see lessons.
