Kangaroo Cabs: Magic Mirror

magic-mirror

To promote the service of a cab company, in bars and clubs. The message they wanted to communicate was have fun but keep in mind the dangers of drunk driving. Making sure that their communication has no impact on liquor sales of the barclub was another challenge. The solution was the “magic mirror” wich hung in rest rooms. It like any ordinary mirror but transformed its image when a person went closer to it. The picture of a person who has met with an accident would appear with the message “take a cab” and the contact number of the cab company.

Why I Started a Small Advertising Agency


I believe in great ideas and I believe that there aren't enough of them. I believe that the advertising business today is more about execution and technique than about ideas, and especially so since the emergence of digital advertising and social media.

Why YouTube Will Sink or Swim With Obama Girl


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Forget Hollywood. YouTube's future lies less in "Desperate Housewives" and more in low-budget fare from producers such as Next New Networks, Machinima, Howcast and MondoMedia. That's because for all the sound and fury over studio deals, long-form content just isn't that popular on YouTube. Rather, it's the so-called midtail content, which fills a niche somewhere between studio-produced and user-generated fare, that's exploded.

Transformers 2: Michael Bay dirige comercial para LG

Transformers LG Versa

Para promover a edição do celular Versa temática do filme “Transformers: A Vingança dos Derrotados”, a LG estreou um comercial nos Estados Unidos dirigido pelo próprio Michel Bay. São 30 segundos de produção hollywoodiana, em que Optimus Prime confunde o Versa do protagonista com um Decepticon.

Aliás, isso me faz pensar que a Paramount trocou a parceria com a Nokia pela da LG nessa sequência de “Transformers”. Pra quem não lembra, a fabricante finlandesa protagonizou o que é, para mim, um dos maiores exemplos de product placement da história no primeiro filme, em que um N93i se transformava justamente em um irritante Decepticon.

A campanha inclui ainda o hotsite lgnest.com, que traz downloads, promoção e um advergame investigativo que interage com o celular do jogador. É na verdade uma missão da N.E.S.T. (Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers), a aliança entre humanos e Autobots.

A criação do filme é da Young & Rubicam de Nova York, com produção da Digital Domain. A parte online (game + mobile) ficou por conta da Publicis Modem & Dialog de San Francisco, com 3D da brasileira TaxiLabs.
