Muito parecida com a idéia do aplicativo da Heineken, a Carlsberg está lançando na Suécia um serviço de busca, via mapa virtual, de localidades onde ocorrem as melhores festas, baladas e eventos do país. O serviço está em fase beta, tanto para computador quanto para mobile – via iPhone, ambos (FREE). O usuário pode também convidar amigos para se formar uma rede de encontros e descobrir, de forma antecipada, pra onde eles estão indo curtir a “balada”.

O serviço ainda integra Facebook e Twitter. Sendo assim, todos poderão enviar mensagens diretamente para o mapa sem precisar entrar no aplicativo. Dependendo das novas necessidades dos usuários, a Carlsberg promete inserir outras funcionalidades no aplicativo, em muito breve. A criação é da Great Works.

Dia 4 de julho, o novo modelo conversível do Fiat 500 começa a ser comercializado em algumas regiões, principalmente na Europa. E para promover, na França, o Fiat 500C, a Agence One decidiu utilizar a plataforma do Google Street View como melhor forma de adaptar o conceito de sua campanha “Happy Me“, na internet.

Utilizando o mouse, o usuário pode navegar (360º) por cidades, como: Paris, Londres, Milão, Turim, Nova Iorque e outras – como se estivesse dirigindo um Fiat 500C. Através das setas visíveis no software, ainda se pode conhecer detalhes de ruas e avenidas próximas ao Big Ben, Torre Eiffel e outros famosos pontos turísticos do mundo. Cool!
