Chilenos da MayoDigital criam belas ações para o YouTube

Desde que começou a história da obrigatoriedade de assistir ao menos 5 segundos de propaganda no YouTube antes de ver o vídeo que você escolheu, muita gente anda revoltada. Já vimos até tentativas de mobilização nas redes sociais. Mas onde alguns veem problemas, outros veem oportunidades. Foi o caso dos chilenos da MayoDigital, que pelo quinto ano consecutivo foi considerada a melhor agência criativa digital do IAB Labs.

Eles perceberam que o botão de pular o anúncio tinha um grande valor, então resolveram utilizá-lo para comunicar algo realmente importante: um guia de práticas sustentáveis que ajuda a preservar os recursos naturais do planeta.

Água, energia elétrica e gás: após 5 segundos, você poderia escolher entre pular o anúncio ou mudar seu comportamento. Em uma semana, as pessoas optaram por mudar seus comportamentos, em vez de pular o anúncio, mostrando que em 5 segundos todos nós somos capazes de abandonar hábitos ruins. E, mais importante, que as mudanças começam em casa. É só aí que somos apresentados ao anunciante, a Sodimac, que comercializa materiais de construção.

Geralmente, quando vemos projetos assim, sempre bate uma curiosidade para ver o que mais foi feito de bacana pela agência. E o vídeo mais recente da MayoDigital no Vimeo é um soco no estômago de quem gosta de animais. A agência resolveu criar uma ação para dar voz aos cachorros de rua da cidade de San Joaquín Chile, que estavam sendo mortos por funcionários municipais.

A MayoDigital subiu um vídeo no YouTube mostrando imagens da matança e convidando as pessoas a fazer o download de colares com QR Code para colocá-los nos cães de rua de sua comunidade. Quando alguém fotografava o código, aparecia uma mensagem que denunciava o que estava acontecendo. A

A ação foi tão divulgada que resultou, entre outras coisas, em uma ação criminal contra o prefeito de San Joaquín, Sergio Echeverría. Com certeza, ações como essa são muito mais eficientes do que só encher a timeline com imagens de animais sendo torturados e não fazer nada na prática.

Infográfico animado mostra explosões nucleares entre 1945 e 1998

Entre 1945 e 1998, ocorreram 2053 explosões nucleares ao redor do globo terrestre. Bem, este é o número divulgado. E é o que mostra 1945-1998, uma animação criada pelo artista japonês Isao Hashimoto. Apesar de não ser um vídeo novo, ele permanece bastante atual. Hashimoto converteu um mês em um segundo e dispensou palavras para que a mensagem pudesse alcançar qualquer pessoa no mundo.

As luzes que piscam no mapa mostram quando, onde e como os experimentos nucleares foram conduzidos. Como se fosse um vídeo-game, os países responsáveis são apontados com uma espécie de pontuação ao lado de suas bandeiras.

Mercedes-Benz: Slider

We made the slider a navigation bar

Mercedes-Benz launched its first iPad campaign in Israel. The campaign needed to promote Mercedes left brain & right brain print ad. Left side – refers to the logical side of the brain, the side of following the way and the Right side refers to a more creative side of the brain that creates the way. We needed to turn the ad into an interactive iPad experience, without changing or editing it. In order to do this we used iPad’s most recognizable feature – the Slider, but we put a twist that changed its influence and behavior and created immediate engagement with the users. The slider became a two sided Navigation Bar with the sentence “follow the way” on the left side and “create the way” on the right. We created a display in the landing page that changes according to the direction that the user decided to slide. Each side displayed the Mercedes-Benz E class car in a different background according to the ad. Sliding to the left side showed the Mercedes-Benz E – class in a clear and classical background and sliding to the right showed it in a more creative and vivid background. Regardless of the side they chose, there was a form to fill out for a test drive. The intuitive use of the slider created a connection between the campaign concept and the user’s iPad experience.
