Farrah Fawcett in Hospital

Fawcett, FarrahFormer Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett, the actress who gained noticed as Jill Monroe, has been reportedly admitted to a hospital. There were no updated reports as to why she was admitted but apparently it all sums up to her long battle with cancer.

The 62-year-old Charlie’s Angel, who was first diagnosed with the disease in 2006, has been hospitalized in Los Angeles since Thursday. After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, doctors said Fawcett was cancer free in February 2007, only to see the disease return three months later.

Later that year, she and ex-husband Ryan O’Neal traveled to Germany for embryonic stem cell cancer treatment, an alternative method not available in the United States.

Skol Sensation | Brand Experience “Redondo”

skolsensation.jpg

Acordei hoje e descobri que a festa da noite de ontem não foi um sonho, sendo que bem poderia ser. O Skol Sensation está na minha lista de uma das festas noturnas mais incríveis que eu já presenciei. Não apenas pela festa em si (isso rende um posts no INvertido), mas também pela enorme “experiência sensitiva” proporcionada pela Skol ao seu público.
Um público que, por sinal, não via razões negativas em pagar R$5,00 para ter em mãos um copo de Skol gelada, a cada minuto. Era tudo muito lúdico, diferente de tudo que eu já tinha visto nessa vida. A Skol retribuiu o sucesso de sua marca, entregando a todos um verdadeiro exemplo de Brand Experiênce “Redondo”. “Redondo” porque conseguiram fortalecer o contato com todas as pessoas presentes de maneira indescritível, ou melhor, perfeita.

Mas não acabou por aí, nem mesmo começou apenas com isso tudo, o Skol Sensation foi além. Provou que é capaz, nos dias de hoje, de se criar e efetivar uma comunicação 360º pertinente. Comunicação na Rua, na Internet, na Televisão e em tudo mais que era ponto de contato. E se tudo nesse mundo é mídia, até vestuários foram usados como veículo de comunicação para promover o evento.

Posso garantir que este foi um evento inesquecível pra mim e pra todos os demais que foram até o Anhembi, acompanhar esta “crazy party”.

Com o Skol Sensation, a Skol conseguiu fixar sua presença na mente de mais de 40 mil pessoas, de maneira super positiva e com uma vibe extraordinária, em apenas uma noite. Foi um tiro certeiro e de grande sucesso. Deu água na boca? Deixo pra vocês uma pontinha do que rolou ontem:

Jazz Radio – undoubtedly not for everybody

Jazz music may become difficult to bear for some people. This print campaign for Jazz Radio focuses on the idea that some people literally throw up with jazz while others enjoy it. The slogan for the campaign:  Not for everybody – supposedly it should make jazz freaks feel distinguished and appreciated for their great taste in music.

New Fruit20 Makes a Big Splash

fruit2oFlavored water gets a new look from one of the very first brands to hit the market as Fruit2O announces the re-launch of www.fruit2o.com. The site, which was completely overhauled, not only has a splashy new look, it also delivers more robust user content and additional features and information.

“The relaunch of www.fruit2o.com marks a big milestone for Fruit2O as we redefine the Fruit2O legacy and refocus the brand on our heritage in fruit,” said Dave Zellen, brand manager for Fruit2O. “From this point forward, the story of fruit and the refreshment of water will be integrated into everything Fruit2O communicates to consumers. We expect this new web platform to serve as the communications hub for all ongoing marketing efforts including public relations, sampling, events and special offers.”

Fruit2O enlisted Enlighten, an Ann Arbor, MI-based web design company to revamp the site. The agency’s primary role in the redesign project was to use the experiential, emotional, and performance building blocks of the brand to inform and engage the consumer while communicating the overall character and equity of Fruit2O. Enlighten also created a refreshing new design, information architecture and provided Fruit2O with the ability to add new and relevant information.
