Hyundai produz comercial sem emissão de carbono. Ou pelo menos tentaram.

Hyundai

Na semana passada, falei aqui do comercial sustentável da Volkswagen, feito com material reciclável e esforço humano.

A Hyundai também diz ter feito um, e esse não com a cara mambembe do filme da VW. Utilizando energia solar e assistentes de produção trabalhando sem parar, fizeram o menor uso de energia possível e o comercial teve “zero emissão de carbono”, segundo a marca.

Nos comentários do post da VW, ninguém caiu nessa história. Então acredito que o da Hyundai também não deva te convencer que eles estão preocupados em salvar o mundo.

Giving It Away Isn’t Good for the Client-Agency Relationship


Oops, I did it again. I gave away our services to a client who "desperately" needed us to deliver things way outside of the scope of our agreement. These deliverables, I was told, would be the sure ticket to gaining awareness for the programs and ultimately securing the appropriate amount of funding and head count for the program in the next fiscal year.

Impossível “rejuvenescer” sem o digital

Como parte do esforço arrojado de branding para reposicionar as cenourinhas crocantes Baby Carrots, a CP+B e a unit9 desenvolveram o Xtreme Xrunch Kart, um mobile game que faz uso do microfone do iPhone.

Segundo a descrição App Store:

Radical aerials. Badical explosions. Are you XTREME enough? Then grab your baby carrots, you’re gonna need ’em bro! Strap into your rocket-powered shopping kart and blast through five different XTREME levels. Crunch into actual baby carrots near your mic to unleash unholy speed bursts and perform XTREME aerial tricks. Wicked!

For best results, crunch your baby carrots about six inches from the microphone, play in a quiet spot, and plug in your headphones.

Além do mobile game, um novo site, mais moderno, dinâmico, cheio de conteúdo e inspirado nos sites de marcas mais “cool”, pois também utiliza uma boa integração com redes sociais, faz parte da estratégia de presença digital da “nova” Baby Carrots.

Para quem não se lembra, esta campanha de reposicionamento de marca teve a intenção de tornar o produto mais atrativo para crianças e jovens, um público geralmente acostumado com junk e fast food.

A partir de agora, portanto, as novas embalagens das cenourinhas crocantes Baby Carrots são vendidas em forma de saquinhos iguais aos de salgadinhos e também podem ser encontrados em vending machines.

Como se vê neste caso, mesmo se a estratégia de branding prezar pela inovação por si só, fica impossível ignorar os meios digitais, ainda mais quando o rejuvenescimento da marca e do target fazem parte do brief.
