Quando uma marca decide comemorar seu aniversário na internet, ela consegue trazer o consumidor para mais perto dos momentos especiais proporcionados por ela, principalmente quando se utiliza as redes sociais.

Atenta a isso, a Jack Daniel’s também encontrou uma forma divertida de comemorar seu aniversário de 159 anos.

No Facebook, a marca de uísque criou um app que permite realizar brindes virtuais.

A nova ferramenta, batizada de “Give a Toast“, permite enviar bebidas virtuais a amigos ou familiares para assinalar qualquer ocasião que seja relevante.

No entanto, a aplicação só pode ser utilizada por membros do Facebook com mais de 21 anos.

Uma hashtag (#ToastJack) foi plantada para dar um gás na campanha de aniversário via Twitter.
A marca recorre ainda ao Google Maps para indicar a localização exata dos usuários do Twitter que estão trocando “brindes virtuais”.

O trailer de Scooby-Doo: The Mistery Begin você pode ver a seguir:

A estréia acontece dia 13 de setembro no Cartoon Network norte-americano, e o DVD será lançado nos EUA dia 22 de setembro. No Brasil, o longa deve chegar em DVD somente em novembro.
