Apple vs. Microsoft: Round Windows 7
Posted in: UncategorizedVeja a ironia das coisas. Ontem, que foi o lançamento oficial do Windows 7, a Apple mandou pro ar três novos comerciais da extensa campanha “Get a Mac”, cutucando, é claro, o novo sistema operacional da Microsoft. Você pode assistir os três no player abaixo, na sequencia:
Já a Microsoft, em sua campanha para o Windows 7, reforça a atuação dos usuários no desenvolvimento do novo produto, falando de ideias e colaboração. Criação da Crispin Porter + Bogusky.
A briga entre Apple e Microsoft ganha mais esse capítulo, no exato momento em que o Windows 7 está sendo considerado o melhor sistema operacional da empresa de Redmond. OK, pode não ser um grande elogio pra quem antes tinha o Vista no mercado, mas definitivamente o novo Windows coloca a Microsoft novamente nos trilhos.
Já a Apple, acredita que não precisa fazer mais nada além de piadas com os velhos problemas e a falta de confiabilidade do Windows. A campanha “Get a Mac” rendeu excelentes momentos, mas a fórmula já cansou. Sinais já demonstrados nas inciativas anteriores com o conceito.
Não é uma discussão para fanboys de um sistema ou de outro. Eu mesmo sou usuário de Mac e PC em diferentes momentos do dia. Não largo meu MacBook por nada, mas por outro lado encontrei um Windows 7 leve e bonito impossível de imaginar em anos anteriores. Como afirmou a Wired em sua análise, 7 é o número da sorte da Microsoft.
É uma questão de comunicação, de futuro. Até quando o tom arrogante vai continuar sustentando o ponto da Apple? Longe de ser politicamente correto e de querer que a maçã de Cupertino siga o rumo paz e amor e sustentabilidade, como eu disse, “Get a Mac” rendeu comerciais hilários e importantes nessa briga. Mas juro que gostaria de ver a TBWA\Media Arts Lab com um novo briefing nas mãos.

Beau Rivage Resort – Baggage belt
Posted in: Uncategorized“We needed to promote the property using a baggage carousel at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. The strategy was based on a key insight: After traveling to the airport and enduring a long flight, travelers welcomed a bit of calm. The idea was to create a refreshingly tranquil oasis for the weary passenger, mimicking the cool water of Beau Rivage’s tropical pool. The baggage belt was transformed into a swimming pool complete with swimmers and playful slogans. The result was a total change in how people react around the hectic space of a luggage belt.”
