O quesito transparência sempre foi importante para a integridade das marcas. Com a internet, possibilitou-se muito mais para que este ingrediente fosse levado a diante. Imaginando que os consumidores querem saber tudo sobre os produtos que eles consomem, as marcas precisam se adaptar. Por isso, lá na Espanha, através da agência Sra. Rushmore, a Coca-Cola está promovendo os benefícios da produção e distribuição local de seus produtos. Hoje, muito se fala em priorizar a localização, pois consumir algo produzido localmente implica em um benefício ao meio-ambiente.

Aliando a tendência da transparência e a da localização, a Coca-Cola da Espanha está com um novo hotsite que possibilita o consumidor acompanhar de onde vêm a Coca-Cola que ele está consumindo.

Basta entrar em [www.siguetucocacola.com] e digitar o código que se encontra nos verso da embalagem. Se o código for válido, um mashup do Google Maps mostra em qual fábrica a Coca-Cola foi produzida.

Por enquanto, a mecânica só é válida entre os consumidores espanhóis.

A Unilever introduziu na Argentina uma nova fragrância de Axe chamada Axe Music Star. O que é realmente curioso na campanha promocional do produto é que a embalagem do novo desodorante se converte virtualmente em uma guitarra ou uma bateria em que os jovens podem utilizar como se os instrumentos fossem um joystiq e, assim, brincar e competir com seus amigos que também estão na frente do computador.

O uso da realidade aumentada para promover o novo produto é criação da Ponce Buenos Aires, que se complementa com um comercial de televisão [assista abaixo, logo após um vídeo demo da realidade aumentada].
