First Ever Barbie Ad — A simpler time to be sure.

I love the jingle, I love the look of the thing, I love the fact that the big voice announcer-style is STILL with us. Saw it here.

Allianz – Live Frog

Frogger é um joguinho simples desenvolvido pela Konami em 1981.
O sapo que tem 30 anos tinha tudo pra estar morto mas até hoje deu sorte por ai.
Essencialmente é um jogo onde você controla o sapo usando as teclas direcionais para cima, esquerda, direito e para baixo, e sua missão é atravessar uma avenida cheia de carros e caminhões sem ser atropelado.

Eis que então a Ogilvy cria o app de Facebook Live Frog para Allianz Seguros.
Usando uma câmera que transmite ao vivo o trânsito maluco da Marginal Pinheiros em São Paulo, chama atenção para os acidentes que acontecem numa cidade grande e usa a imagem como ambiente do jogo. Você controla o sapo ilustrado e cada vez que é atropelado, passa por uma dica de segurança da Allianz.

A execução é ótima, e você posta seus pontos no seu wall chamando os amigos para jogar.
Idéia simples e super bem feita, inclusive pensando nos raros momentos onde não há trânsito – permitindo jogar com imagens gravadas. Tudo isso ainda curiosamente num prazo off-cannes. Ano que vem vai pra lá né?

Acesse o app e jogue. http://apps.facebook.com/livefrog/

Sampling e envolvimento no Facebook

É perceptível o avanço das estratégias de F-Commerce. Algumas mais ousadas, outras menos: Vendas diretas, compras coletivas e até Tryvertising aparece por lá. São provas de que esse novo modelo de varejo online já é uma realidade.

Mas o que vale compartilhar aqui sãs as boas ideias, como esta da promo lançada pela rede de fast-food libanesa B2B (Breakfast to Breakfast), de Beirute.

No mural da página da B2B no Facebook, eram postadas fotos de lanches e os fãs da página eram convidados a “marcar” as fotos. Os que primeiro “marcavam” as fotos, ganhavam a oferta. Essa é a razão do nome da promo: “Tag & Win”.

Enquanto realizava a promo, que há pouco foi encerrada, as pessoas ajudavam a viralizar a marca e promover a FanPage da B2B para seus amigos, naturalmente.

Assim que eu gosto! Por isso costumo dizer que a simplicidade é a melhor amiga do engajamento.
