Coca-Cola | The Organ Player

Coca Cola Organ Player

A Coca-Cola consumiu substâncias de procedência ilegal e ficou malucona. É só o que consigo pensar depois de ver o novo filme de verão da marca para o mercado britânico, que estréia hoje, 7 de maio.

A criação da Mother traz um orgão habitado por criaturas esquisitas movidas por Coca-Cola. Os monstrinhos são na verdade marionetes, e não computação gráfica, manipuladas por duas pessoas. Com pós produção da Moving Picture, a atmosfera anos 1970 é proposital.

Remember Monday? ABC Won that Night, Too



MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — After data delays due to difficulties in processing ratings, Thursday's release of Monday's data indicates that Nielsen is catching up. So too, it seems, were the networks in close competition to lead Monday's ratings race, as ABC, CBS and Fox generally had shows hold their season to date original episode ratings better than most May sweeps days that have seen significant under-delivery. But for those playing catch up, ABC won Monday night.

Barbados: dias de sol ou seu dinheiro de volta

guarantee.jpg

Viajar para a ilha caribenha de Barbados é ter a segurança de que se vai aproveitar ótimos dias de sol. Caso isso não acontecer, o governo da Ilha dará todo o dinheiro da estadia e passagem de volta aos turistas. É o que eles estão prometendo agora. Acabaram de lançar a campanha “The Perfect Weather Guarantee” que inclui até um site onde é possível reservar sua viagem por lá e ter ótimas razões para não pensar duas vezes antes de escolher seu destino turístico de veraneio. O desespero deles por atrair turistas vai além do que você imagina: a garantia de entregar o dinheiro de volta será feita caso a temperatura seja menor do que 78º Fahrenheit, enquanto os turistas estejam hospedados na Ilha.

Achei uma idéia um pouco afoita, mas não deixa de ser uma estratégia positiva que vai mobilizar um bocado de viajantes endinheirados. E você, o que achou?

Pearle | The Steamy Room

pearle.jpg

A mensagem aqui é bem simples: às vezes é melhor usar lentes de contato ao invés de óculos! Esse é o conceito da divertida brincadeira interativa apresentada pela ótica belga Pearle. A ótica vende lentes e óculos de todos os estilos, mas neste caso, a prioridade é mostrar que a nova tecnologia implantada em suas lentes não deixam que elas embacem com o vapor – diferente do que acontece normalmente com os óculos.

The Steamy Room: Escolha um personagem (uma mulher ou um homem) e vá desembaçando a lente do óculos para poder ver o que se passa diante de você. É instigante e sensual ao mesmo tempo. No final da brincadeira você ainda pode montar um e-card colocando sua foto no meio das lindas garotas (ou dos garotos), e mandar para um amigo.
