Sony Bravia Zoetrope

Le nouveau spot de la célèbre saga Sony Bravia, toujours avec l’agence Fallon. L’idée phare de la vidéo : un Zoetrope géant, l’ancêtre du cinéma, afin d’expliquer de manière ludique le temps de rafraichissement d’une télévision et l’atout “MotionFlow” de la Sony Bravia à 200hz.

Frito-Lay lança série animada para internet

womans.jpg

A pergunta é: Pode uma marca de produtos calóricos utilizar um conceito irreverente e, ao mesmo tempo, impondo um apelo de saudabilidade em sua comunicação aos consumidores? A resposta é: Tentar até pode, e não é impossível.

E é exatamente isso que a Frito-Lay, a divisão snacks e salgadinhos da PepsiCo, que hoje obtém uma linha de lanches “conscientes” (cozidos e de baixa caloria), como é o caso de Lay’s, Fritos, Ruffles, Doritos, Cheetos e Tostitos; alguns deles com apenas 100 calorias por pacote.

Apesar dessa nova linha, as mulheres têm sentimentos não muito positivos pela marca Frito-Lay – principalmente pelo fator de ela já estar muito associada a fritos e gordurosos. O público feminino compõe uma fatia muito pequena de consumo dos produtos da marca.

Por este motivo, a marca está lançando a sua campanha “Only in a Woman’s World“, que tem foco total em mulheres norte-americanas.

A campanha é toda conduzida por quatro personagens animadas: Anna, Cheryl, Maya e Nikki. E elas estarão em todas as peças publicitárias; seja na mídia impressa e/ou na televisão. Porém, a maior aposta da marca está sendo a internet.

Eles lançaram o hotiste (Awomansworld.com) que conta games e outras funções interativas, além de uma websérie onde as garotas falam sobre alimentação (sempre dando aquela “puxadinha” para Frito-Lay) e, ainda, discutem sobre namoro, homens, moda e coisas do tipo. Algo ao estilo “Sex and the City“, como bem comparou o The New York Times.
