AC/DC | Caça ao Tesouro

acdc_logo.gifEssa vem direto da fonte. Acabei de receber um e-mail vindo da Tribeca, agência de marketing alternativo de Paris, na França, que conta sobre a última ação lançada por eles.

Trata-se de uma promo diferenciada, onde dois supostos líderes de uma tal de “Front de Liberation“, aparecem em um vídeo no Youtube dizendo que roubaram os últimos 8 tickets para o show tão esperado da banda AC/DC, em Paris, que acontece no dia 27 de fevereiro.

O vídeo, com mais de 4 minutos de duração, mostra, ainda, os sequestradores escondendo, por 8 cidades da França, os tickets do show. As pistas foram dadas.

E olha só que genial. Qualquer um que estiver na França, está sendo desafiado a encontrar esses tickets. Achou, ganhou.
