Chevrolet faz parceria com Gowalla no SXSW

gowalla.jpg

Se tem uma coisa que eu gosto muito de postar aqui são novos meios de comunicação/relacionamento explorados pelas marcas.

E neste mês, Austin, no Texas, vai abrigar o SXSW, ou South by Southwest, famoso festival internacional de novas tendências no mundo da tecnologia, música e cinema. 

Alguns dos patrocinadores da edição 2010, que acontece entre os dias 12 e 16 de março, começaram a apresentar propostas para marcar presença.

A Chevrolet, por exemplo, vai usar sua presença no evento para obter idéias sobre novas práticas e tecnologias emergentes, inclusive para explorar estes tais novos meios de comunicação/relacionamento.

Quando usuários do Gowalla (serviço de geolocalização mobile similar ao nosso querido Foursquare) derem um check-in em qualquer lugar de Austin, eles irão receber mensagens de texto com ofertas da Chevrolet, como uma carona exclusiva em uma perua Equinox novinha caso eles estejam desembarcando no aeroporto da cidade.

Assim como o Foursquare, estes serviços de geolocalização estão sendo bem vistos por muitas marcas visionárias, pois possibilitam uma conexão diferente com seus consumidores.:: Via My Good Buzz

Marketers, Get Back to Boring


Maybe things haven't changed that much at all. Maybe what's missing in our "social" marketing transformation is the really boring and basic stuff. Maybe dull drives digital. Maybe fundamentals face us forward. Maybe boring is breakthrough.

Visa | Go Fans (2010 FIFA World Cup)

Visa Copa do Mundo World Cup África do Sul

Em sequência na campanha temática “Go Fans” para a Copa do Mundo 2010, a Visa estreia um novo filme e material impresso. Ambos com assinatura customizada para cada país, ou seja, no Brasil, vira “Go Brasil”, e assim com cada uma das 32 nações classificadas para o torneio.

O filme “Anthem”, abaixo, foi dirigido por Jake Scott, filho de Ridley Scott, conhecido pelo clipe de “Fake Plastic Trees” do Radiohead, e que recentemente lançou o longa “Welcome to the Rileys”, estrelado por Kristen Stewart e James Gandolfini.

É o tipo de campanha padrão, que invariavelmente aparece em época de Copa do Mundo. Mas veja bem, tem um texto bonito narrado pelo presidente-Deus-NelsonMandela-fugitivo-diretordaCIA-etc Morgan Freeman, falando da emoção do maior evento esportivo do planeta, então, você vai querer ver.

A criação é da TBWA\Chiat\Day, com produção da RSA Films.

Which 2009 Magazine Ads Were Tops With Young Men and Young Women?



MRI Starch Communications looked at which 2009 consumer print ads caught the attention of young men and women. Our slideshow of print ads that had the most "stopping power" among young men and women reveals there are some differences, as you might expect, but when it comes to a crisp glass of imported beer, or a close-up of a flatbread melt, apparently we aren't so different after all.

Corporate Branding Goes Rogue


Social media is not just another tactic to be tacked onto the proverbial backside of a corporate identity system. It needs to be recognized for what it is — the disruptive technology that radically changes the game.

How Will Industry Vets React to ‘Mad Men’ Dolls?


Considering some of the anger expressed by old-school Mad Men over the show's treatment of history, we wonder if some will shell out $75 for a Don Draper only to stick pins in it.
