Coraline: Interactive Window

6a00d8345230d269e20111684fa29f970c-550wi.jpg

Praticamente toda a blogosfera já comentou sobre o cultuado romance “infantil” Coraline, uma obra “timburtoniana” de Neil Gaiman. Vou tentar ser um pouco diferente, e mostrar como foi e continua sendo aplicado o papel genial  do marketing para divulgar o filme.

Tudo começa com o convite a Wieden + Kennedy, a agência mais respeitada do mundo, coordenou todas as ações de mídia e não mídia para Coraline.

Em uma das ações (não mídia), está a minha predileta: janelas interativas espalhadas por sete cidades importantes dos EUA. As janelas, produzidas em parceria com a Inwindow Outdoor, tinham formatos de espelhos, dando às pessoas a simulação de estarem com olhos transformados em botões pretos.

A questão é que, ao encontrar uma dimensão lúdica e cheia de fantasias, Coraline percebe que as pessoas não têm olhos. No lugar de pupilas, há botões pretos, indicando que aquelas almas foram parar em algum outro espaço.
