Onde Está Dexter?

Dexter

O canal Showtime encontrou mais uma maneira criativa de utilizar a ferramenta de anotações do YouTube. Em uma ação para promover a estreia da quarta temporada de “Dexter”, dia 27 de setembro, a emissora criou uma espécie de “Onde Está Wally?” com vídeos.

Em “Where’s Dexter?” você procura o personagem de Michael C. Hall no meio da multidão, e clica na anotação correta para passar para o próximo nível.

Bem simples e divertido, pena que a brincadeira é curta.

Dexter The Game” para iPhone já está disponível no iTunes, aqui, antecipando e promovendo a 4a temporada que estréia no dia 27 de setembro, pelo menos nos Estados Unidos.

Dependendo de pontuação, o usuário que tiver um desempenho mais desejável poderá participar das gravações da 5a temporada, e, ainda, ser convidado para almoçar com o escritor da série, Jeff Lindsay.

McDonalds: Free Coffee Pole, Bus shelter

mcdonalds-free-coffee-bus-shelter1

As part of a national campaign promoting McDonald’s restaurants, a downtown Vancouver lamppost became part of an out-of-home (OOH) optical illusion, appearing to pour coffee into a giant cup on the sidewalk.
At the time, McDonald’s was giving away free small cups of its brew for a two-week period, in an effort to attract new breakfast customers. Ad firm Cossette’s Vancouver office developed the concept for a lamppost near 6th Avenue and Cambie Street. The post was wrapped in brown vinyl to resemble poured coffee, while an oversized carafe was attached to the end.
Elsewhere in the city, a transit shelter was turned into an ‘hourglass,’ with an ever-diminishing number of coffee beans reminding customers of the promotion’s short-term nature.
