The Flydealism Campaign of Virgin America Airlines

600thmIt is a moniker but it is something relevant to their whole intent. Virgin America is flapping its wings and titling it the Flydealism campaign to help reinvent the domestic airline experience and ban mediocrity from the skies. The campaign was created by Virgin America’s advertising agency-of-record, the San Francisco-based Eleven Inc.

The Flydealism campaign has a rolling launch, starting with print ads and Web banners, followed in mid-March by bus shelters, out of home (OOH) and wild postings. In late April, the campaign will include image-driven print and OOH. The campaign is multilayered, with brand-oriented outdoor and direct online. The iconic Virgin America flag is a central element in the work, used both as a visual rallying cry and a creative signal to communicate special offers and deals to guests. The flag will be used in creative elements and in station marketing efforts.

Virgin America offers low fare flights that appeal to today’s tech-savvy business and leisure travelers. The airline offers power outlets and touch-screen Red(TM) entertainment platforms at every seat. The Red system allows guests to control their own in-flight experience, with a touch-screen food menu, live TV, movies, seat-to-seat chat, a play-list of thousands of MP3s, videogames and more. Already launched on 13 aircraft, by the second quarter of 2009, the carrier will be the first U.S. airline to offer in-flight Internet on every flight.

RedBrick Pizza Announces Franchise Stimulus Package

redbrick2To perk up and reel in some potential investors for RedBrick Pizza franchises, RedBrick Pizza Worldwide Inc., has announced an interest free financing to qualified Master Developers for up to 50 percent of their Master Franchise fee.

“This represents the majority of a Master Developer’s investment in order to own a geographic territory,” says Jim Minidis, President of RedBrick Pizza Worldwide, Inc. “Years ago we had missed the opportunity to become a developer with a national sub-chain and decided RedBrick Master Development was an incredible opportunity to get in on the ground floor,” says Howard A. Johnson, RedBrick’s Master Developer of Maryland.

RedBrick Pizza is the leading fast-casual pizza franchise, now with cafes in 11 states and Canada.

Realidade aumentada reinventa mercado de cards esportivos

Existe reinvenção em todas as indústrias, até no tradicional e icônico mercado de cards e figurinhas. A Topps é uma das pioneiras em cards de jogadores de baseball, fundada em 1938, e responsável por criar toda uma cultura e uma legião de colecionadores aficionados em torno do produto.

Durante muito tempo foi um negócio estimado em 1 bilhão de dólares, mas que vem encolhendo cerca de 200 milhões de dólares anualmente, segundo a Major League Baseball Properties. Ainda que tenha tentado inovar e gerar uma rede social online em torno dos cards, a Topps acredita que a internet acabou tornando o ato de colecionar papel um tanto ultrapassado e sem sentido para os garotos de hoje.

Topps

Sendo assim, a empresa se uniu com a francesa Total Immersion para lançar uma nova linha de cards de baseball: a Topps 3D Live. Nada mais é do que colocar um pouco de tecnologia no papel, e assim dar novo fôlego para toda uma indústria.

Através de realidade aumentada, basta colocar o cartão em frente uma webcam para fazer o jogador ganhar vida. E quando falo em ganhar vida, não é apenas ter um modelo 3D se movimentando na tela, mas também com a possibilidade de interagir e comandar o jogador. É possível até gerar disputas de um card com o outro, já que o software reconhece as informações de habilidade de cada jogador, mostrando quem é o melhor.

Assista o vídeo abaixo para entender melhor. Inspirador, para dizer o mínimo, e um belo exemplo de como usar a tecnologia a favor do produto, não apenas porque está na moda.

Ariel’s “stained-glass” citylights

Even a simple bus-shelter might be turned into a temple of bright colours.  Saatchi & Saatchi Warsaw prepared this amazing outdoor campaign for P&G’s Ariel Color detergent in 2007.  Glass panels of intensive color and simplified design typical for real stained-glass were installed into backlit citylights to convey the key product benefit – retension of color intensity.  The luminous artwork displays daily routines: a woman cleaning her evening gown, a woman hanging out her laundry and  a basketful of  redeemed laundry in the sun.

Swarovski.TV

swarovskytv.jpg

Hoje em dia, só é conservador quem quer! A Swarovski, por exemplo, famosíssima pelos seus diamantes super caros e desejados pelas celebridades do mundo inteiro, acabou desenvolvendo uma plataforma de conteúdo aúdio-visual invejável a qualquer marca que se auto intitula “cool” e “hypada”.

Estou falando do Swarovski.TV, uma espécie de Youtube da marca, só que altamente interativo e construído através de uma identidade visual única e respeitável.

Agora, todos os consumidores da marca poderão acompanhar o que rola no backstage de eventos de moda, design e cultura, onde a Swarovski apóia e coloca seus créditos.

Depois do Audi.TV, que também já falei (aqui), este é mais um exemplo do chamado “Branded Television“.

Lewis Hamilton “pilota” um F1 usando um Blackberry Storm

Lewis Hamilton é garoto propaganda do BlackBerry Storm e também da Vodafone. Então que tal juntar tudo e fazer o piloto inglês dirigir um Fórmula 1 através de um celular?

Instalando um receiver BlueTooth, controlaram um carro de brinquedo. Não satisfeitos, fizeram o mesmo com um McLaren de verdade e colocaram Hamilton para “pilotar”.

A discussão se o viral é fake ou não já atingiu níveis astronômicos. Obviamente, tudo não passa de uma brincadeira da Vodafone, mas eu só sei que no vídeo abaixo tem um carro de F1 andando sem piloto dentro…

Cleanliness is Next To…

When it comes to print ads, cleanliness is next to revenue as far as I’m concerned. Be careful about adding pictures, symbols and other noise that detracts from your main message. Sometimes the best art is just a simple logo.
