Quicksilver crash your browser

quick.jpg

Adorada por skatistas do mundo todo, a Quicksilver é uma marca que precisa sempre buscar formas de comunicação alternativas para não perder a atenção de seus consumidores. Por isso, vira e mexe eles lançam alguma campanha ou ação diferentona. A última segue a linha das já tão conhecidas intervenções em páginas do browser. Assim como foi feito recentemente pela Honda, no Vimeo (aqui). Ao entrar no hotsite, cinco dos mais renomados skatistas dos Estados Unidos, inclusive o famoso Tony Hawk, participam de um clipe que mostra algumas manobras. Poucos segundos depois eles saltam da tela e começam a percorrer e quebrar tudo o que vêem pela frente. No final, um skate é tacado contra você, e o vidro de seu browser é “quebrado”.

Mobiliário da Nike controlado pelo iPhone

As possibilidades provenientes dos meios digitais e interativos estão alcançando níveis cada vez mais avançados. A empresa de mídia exterior CBS Outdoor em parceria com a agência britânica de marketing interativo Clusta, apresentou um projeto para Nike, semana passada, durante a conferência Media Playgroung.
A plataforma apresentada integra mobile + mídia exterior, conectando um usuário de iPhone com a exibição projetada em um mobiliário urbano, via WiFi ou 3G.
Com esta plataforma os usuários podem fazer o objeto, no caso a imagem de um tênis da Nike, girar de um lado para o outro, aumentar ou diminuir de tamanho, e ainda fazer o tênis e a imagem mudar de cor, tudo pelo seu iPhone pessoal. Em breve, os desenvolvedores buscarão outras alternativas, como integração com SMS, códigos bi-dimensionais e etc para gerar mensagens de texto ou imagens/vídeos para cada aparelho móvel que interagir com a peça. Mais uma saída que pode deixar o e-commerce do futuro ser ainda mais criativo e divertido.

Can Marketers Produce ‘Digg-Worthy’ Content?


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Founded in late 2004, social news site Digg helped define Web 2.0 at the outset and made a celebrity of co-founder Kevin Rose. Since then, it has inspired a host of imitators and quite a lot of speculation over when or how it would become profitable and if or when it would be acquired. Now the site is launching Digg Ads, its bid to move away from static banners and apply the social nature of the site to advertising.
