Viajando mais de 5 mil quilômetros sem dinheiro, só com Heineken

Em Cingapura, a Heineken lançou um projeto de branded content envolvendo uma jornada de 5187 km – entre a Mongólia até Taiwan, onde acontece o festival de música Sensation.

Entre tantas outras propostas iguais já realizadas por marcas, essa tem um componente mais divertido: O mochileiro vai ter que completar o trajeto sem dinheiro algum, carregando apenas Heineken na bagagem.

Abaixo você pode assistir a primeira parte da viagem. O viajante chegou até Shangai, na China, pedindo carona e pagando com cerveja. Mas ainda faltam 3537 km para o destino.

A ação, chamado The Passport, inclui uma promoção que vai levar consumidores para o festival em Taiwan.

Jess Time: Google promove Chrome com mais um comercial paternal

Quando fiz um Top 10 comerciais para o Dias dos Pais no mês passado, dois filmes recentes do Google entraram na lista. E realmente parece que eles encontraram na paternidade uma grande fonte de inspiração.

Não que esse novo comercial (acima) se compare aos dois anteriores, mas é novamente o Google exibindo a conexão entre pai e filha, que estão distantes geograficamente, através de suas ferramentas.

De trilha sonora, “Broken Chair” de Chris and Thomas. A criação é da BBH New York.

Google Chrome, Dead Mom Bring Daughter Closer to Father

Google Creative Lab and BBH New York have added to their long-ish running “The web is what you make of it” campaign which demonstrates how Chrome and other Google products can make life easier. This latest entry takes a look at the relationship between a daughter in college and her father and they both cope with the recent loss of mom. It’s playful like other campaign entries but carries a bit of a bittersweet tone that may resonate with some better than others.

Nicole Kidman, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Moore, baseball legend Willie Mays and other Hollywood celebrities have lent their voice to a new PSA for Futures Without Violence’s Respect Challenge. The PSA calls importance to role models in young people’s lives.

The Respect Challenge was made possible by AKQA who provided strategic consultation and secured $400,000 in donated online advertising space for the campaign and contest, by Wildfire which volunteered its services to design and implement the Facebook application and by America Online’s in-house creative team who offered their services to create online banners and advertising units.


Weight Watchers to Steal Jessica Simpson’s Amazing Cleavage

jessica_simpson_weight_watchers.jpeg

A few months ago when Jessica Simpson tweeted, “Just taking a walk around the block. Street legal?”, along with a picture of her pushing her new baby in a stroller, the world was treated to the enormity of her post-pregnancy boobs. Already a DD cup (according to her father, no less), Simpson ballooned to a much larger size, appearing double the size of her pre-pregnancy DDs. Of course, Simpson’s breasts weren’t the only part of her body that grew in size. Jessica is big all over now which, perhaps, is why she’s hooked up with Weight Watchers again and can be seen in a new commercial for the brand.

In the ad, which crops most of Jessica out, Simpson says, “It’s working. I’m on my way. And it feels amazing. Really I just want to be a better version of myself.” If you ask us, Simpson looks great no matter what size she is.


A torturante contagem regressiva do Led Zeppelin

Há alguns dias, o Facebook oficial do Led Zeppelin vem provocando os fãs da banda com teasers em contagem regressiva.

Five, IV, III, II e hoje, o suposto “I”. Mas é só mais tortura.

O vídeo é um teaserzinho de 15 segundos, onde só ouvimos um público ensandecido.

O que isso nos sugere? Alguns fãs estão dizendo que é o lançamento do DVD do simbólico show feito no O2 Arena.

Outros mais esperançosos – como eu – rezam para que venha aí o anúncio oficial de uma World Tour.

Só nos resta esperar pra ver.

Mas, seja lá o que for, uma coisa é certa. Poucas são as bandas que sabem – e conseguem – deixar seus fãs tão ansiosos como esta. Mérito óbvio do seu próprio legado (uma das obras mais respeitáveis e inigualáveis da história do rock) e da carência por um rock decente, da qual infelizmente padecemos hoje.

Que venha o show do Led Zeppelin. Ao vivo ou no DVD, já estamos ansiosos.

Descubra quanto custaram alguns logotipos famosos

O site StockLogos publicou, recentemente, uma lista mostrando quanto custou para algumas das principais marcas do mundo seus logotipos. Os valores são surpreendentes. Alguns, por serem baratos demais – é o caso do Google original, que aparece com custo zero, já que foi criado em 1998 por um dos fundadores da empresa, Sergey Brin. Outros, por serem incrivelmente caros. Mas, daí entra aquela questão: como precificar seu trabalho? Se levarmos em conta que aquele logotipo terá ampla exposição, especialmente quando representa marcas de grande alcance mundial, será que $ 100 milhões realmente é caro demais?


O logotipo original da Coca-Cola foi criado por Frank Mason Robinson, em 1885. Como ele era escriturário da empresa, o custo foi $ 0.

Recentemente, o logotipo do Twitter passou por mudanças. Mas, lá em 2009, quando foi criado por Simon Oxley, ele custou $ 15.

Carolyn Davidson criou o logo da Nike em 1975, por $ 35. Alguns anos depois, a Nike também cedeu 500 opções de ações para Carolyn, que atualmente valem mais de $ 600 mil. Mesmo tendo passado por algumas modificações ao longo dos anos, o conceito original sempre foi mantido.

Steve Jobs pediu a Paul Rand que criasse ao logotipo da NeXT em 1986. Para isso, ofereceu $ 100 mil ao designer.

Wolff Ollins assinou em 2007 o logotipo da Olimpíada de Londres. Preço: $ 625 mil.

$ 1 milhão foi o preço cobrado pela Arnell Group em 2008 pelo novo logotipo da Pepsi.

O logo da BBC passou por um redesign em 1997. O preço? $ 1,8 milhão.

Em 2000, a Landor Associates cobrou a bagatela de $ 100 milhões pelo novo logo da Accenture.

Comedian Asks For Hereditary Breast Cancer Support

tenenbein_brca.jpeg

Comedian Steve Hofstetter, whose birthday is today, decided to use the day for something serious. He made a video discouraging his 8 million followers from birthday wishes, instead asking for donations to a cancer org that helped his wife during a difficult time.

Eighteen months ago, Hofstetter’s wife, Sara, was diagnosed with BRCA, a genetic mutation linked to breast cancer. Over the past year, Sarah underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. She has recently fully recovered and has reduced her chances of getting breast cancer from 85 percent down to two percent.

Hofstetter would like to thank the organization, FORCE, that helped him and his wife through these difficult times by asking everyone to donate one dollar for the cause. We thought having been affected by the C word ourselves (no, not that C word, dummy), we’d help spread the word as best we could.
