Ralph Lauren: Interactive Fashion Show

rl-interactive.jpg

A Ralph Lauren não está apenas no topo das grifes mais luxuosas, como também lidera a lista das mais inovadoras do planeta.

De vitrines interativas à códigos QR em anúncios e catálogos, a grife não dispensa uma boa tecnologia.

Sua última aposta na interatividade é mais um incrível exemplo de como a marca está preparada para seguir inovando a ponto de se destacar entre as demais.

Pela primeira vez, a marca hospedou um desfile em seu site. Mas não é só isso.

Na passarela, modelos mostram a coleção Primavera 2010, enquanto as espectadoras, em suas próprias casas podem, literalmente, “comprar” qualquer uma das peças apresentadas no desfile. Além do mais, comentários sobre o desfile são feitos por editores de moda das mais importantes magazines, que também estão abertos a tirar dúvidas das pessoas através de uma espécie de Q&A.

O projeto é mesmo tão fascinante que poderá facilmente se encaixar em um benchmark de e-commerce.

Carlton Draught canta as partes do corpo que “precisam” de cerveja

Carlton Draught Made From Beer

Abandonando sua tradição de super-produções, a cerveja australiana Carlton Draught estreia uma campanha menor em custos, mas ainda grandiosa em ideia.

São sete filmes que mostram que cada parte do corpo de um homem pede por uma ida ao bar, mais especificamente, por uma cerveja. Um trio musical folk narra situações do cotidiano, cantando sobre partes como uma perna, cotovelo, nariz, um “weenis”, etc, que lembram uma boa desculpa para beber Carlton.

Toda a campanha pode ser assistida no site anyexcuse.com.au. Um bobo e divertido humor, com cara de Cannes Lions em junho.

A criação é da Clemenger BBDO, com produção da MJZ.

Puma | Journey of Football

Puma Journey World Cup

Com a chegada da Copa do Mundo, a Puma reforça seu apoio pelas seleções africanas com a campanha “Journey of Football”.

É aquela mania de reunir em um mesmo clipe imagens de futebol, torcedores comemorando e tons emocionais proporcionados pelo esporte. A diferença é que como é na África, tudo precisa ser excessivamente desaturado e amarelado.

Hacking SXSW: Who Needs the Panels, Anyway?


I've been blacklisted by the organizers of the South by Southwest Interactive conference, which just wrapped up earlier this week. Despite pitching panels and explaining my media credentials, they denied me entrance to the show. So I had no press badge, no credentials and no access to the show. But as it turns out, you really don't need official credentials to get a lot out of SXSW.

Ad Spending Dropped 12% in 2009, but Things Are Looking Up

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Overall ad spending in the U.S. fell 12.3% in 2009, according to a new report from Kantar Media, triple the rate of decline from 2008. But last year's ad-sales drop was moderated somewhat by a fourth quarter in which nearly all media improved on their performances from earlier in the year. And things seem to be looking up further still — depending on what happens with consumer spending.
