The Orange Owl: Inside-Owl

inside owl dash

How a simple goodie bag became a mini vanity table. How did we get The Orange Owl’s homemade bath and spa products into the hands of celebrities (and not their entourages) at the MTV Movie Awards Gifting Lounge? By designing an engaging give-away that celebs didn’t want to part with. We created a goodie-bag that turns inside-out to form a nifty Orange Owl mini vanity table. To display the goodies and drive traffic to http://www.theorangeowlshop.com Did it work? Like a charm. Curious about the owls on display, celebs thronged the stall. A hundred bags were grabbed in under two hours. (With four hours left to go in the event.) And most celebs didn’t even wait to get home before trying it out!

“Branded”, as grandes corporações viram inimigas da humanidade no cinema

Nem só nazistas, comunistas e povos árabes alimentam os vilões nos cinemas. Nos últimos anos, as grandes corporações tem assumido muito bem esse papel em filmes de diretores e atores renomados.

O filme russo “Branded” é uma ficção científica, mas explora ainda mais o tema ao retratar as marcas como inimigas da sociedade, e não apenas no sentido figurado.

No distópico mundo do longa, as empresas dominam as pessoas por meio de propagandas, incentivando o consumo desenfreado e descontrolando o apetite da população. Um cidadão vai tentar revelar a conspiração por trás de tudo, com referências a diversas corporações reais.

Poderia ser uma discussão interessante, mas a coisa parece que desanda ao mostrar que as marcas são, na verdade, forças alienígenas ocultas. Só assistindo pra saber, pelo menos tem o Max Von Sidow. “Branded” estreia nos Estados Unidos no dia 07 de setembro.

Assista o trailer abaixo:

Adidas coloca camera escondida dentro do provador e surpreende torcedores do Ajax

Para o lançamento do novo uniforme do Ajax, a Adidas realizou uma pegadinha com os torcedores do time em Amsterdam.

O desavisado fanático ia até o provador da loja experimentar a nova camisa, e bum!, de repente estava numa festa com os jogadores do time.

Antes que se critique da camera dentro do provador, os próprios participantes da ação comentaram no YouTube que assinaram autorização. Depois que um time de futebol inteiro já viu, vai reclamar do que também?
