Slap-tap. Slap-tap. Slap-tap. These are the sounds that echo through the Doner Cleveland office any given day of the week and have become as commonplace as the humming of the air conditioning. What started out as simply filling an empty space with a spare ping-pong table has turned into an agency obsession, with Doner’s president even being known to don court attire and challenge the agency¹s best ponger. So naturally, the St. Pat¹s Day Battle of the Paddles is the Cleveland crew’s excuse to get together, toss back some cold green ones and take it to the table ­ tournament style. This poster series was displayed around the agency encouraging employees to participate for their chance to paddle their peers while doing a little pre-St. Paddy¹s Day celebrating.

Semana passada um ex-chefe — que considero um dos meus mestres — me mandou o link do seu novo projeto, Citymaps, que só tive tempo de ver hoje. É um serviço para ajudar as pessoas a encontrar coisas legais para fazer no descolado termo “hiper-local”.

Mas o que me impressionou mesmo foi ver um mapa de grandes cidades (o serviço já cobre NYC, São Francisco e Austin) sobreposta por uma gigante camada de marcas. Num país onde as franquias e cadeias de lojas abundam o mapa fica mais impressionante (em São Paulo teríamos “Padoca do Zé” por todo lado). Estamos mesmo cercados pelas marcas, não tem pra onde correr.

Vai no mínimo ficar bem legal num PPT. Ou um jogo “coloque o máximo de Starbucks na mesma tela”.
