I’d like to Buy the World A…Volkswagen?

vw_sb_13_get_happy.png

Sorry. We can’t help it. While we like this Deutsch LA-created Volkswagen Super Bowl teaser ad which gathers together a cavalcade YouTube freak outs for a come-to-Jesus-like moment with reggae musician Jimmy Cliff, we can’t help but conjure visions of Coke’s 1971 classic “I’d like to Buy the World A Coke” commercial. Oh wait. It was intentional. My bad.

The teaser, which leads off with clips of the Eharmony cat-hugging woman; the sad Packers fan; “Boogie,” the guy who destroys his Xbox because someone called him fat; the baseball coach who throws a tantrum at an umpire; the screaming politician; and the sports mascots who fight each other, ends with them all coming together in a field as Cliff sings a rendition of “C’mon Get Happy? from the Partridge Family.

And so it would seem all one now needs to be happy is a new VW. Great but what is the ad saying here? The cost of happiness just rose from, say, $1.50 to, say, $22,000? That’s pretty steep. While we own a VW and don’t drink Coke, we still think we’d opt for the cheaper solution. Then again, we already own a VW, hence, we’re already happy and don’t need a Coke. Sorry, Coke.

Jornal de Tóquio cria aplicativo de realidade aumentada pensando no hábito de leitura das crianças

Hoje, os pais leem o jornal enquanto os filhos jogam, conversam e se atualizam pelo smartphone. No futuro, quem estará lendo o jornal? Haverá papel para ser lido?

Pensando em proteger o jornal impresso de uma possível extinção, o jornal Tokyo Shimbun criou, em parceria com a Dentsu, o aplicativo de realidade aumentada Tokyo AR com o objetivo de transformar o hábito de leitura dos filhos e, de quebra, unir a família.

Para uma leitura compartilhada com a família, e ainda contribuir para a educação e o aprendizado dos filhos, o jeito era tornar o jornal mais atrativo para as crianças. A estratégia foi criar uma plataforma diferenciada que fizesse da leitura uma atividade mais interativa.

Usando realidade aumentada para dar vida ao texto, o usuário só precisa apontar a câmera do celular em cima das marcações do jornal, e personagens de cartoon aparecem para guiar a leitura, com balões de comentários e títulos animados.

tokyonewspaper-3 tokyonewspaper-2

Tokyo AR traz uma abordagem similar ao Shortcut App, pois o usuário ainda não quebra a barreira de precisar fazer um download de app, mas o uso é bem mais simples e prático que fotografar um QR code.

A diferença é que, dessa vez, a interatividade é agregada ao papel no próprio conteúdo jornalístico, e não no espaço do anunciante.

GoDaddy Releases First of Two Super Bowl Ads

godaddy_sb_13_yourBigIdea.png

Last year, about a third of Super Bowl advertisers released their commercials prior to the game. Will we see the same this year? Already Coke and Audi have released teasers along with Toyota. And now GoDaddy is out with on of its two commercials.

The commercial, typical Super Bowl silliness, touts the brand’s .CO domain and urges anyone with a “big” idea” to hurry up and register a domain name before someone else beats them to it. That way, you can drink champagne on your private jet piloted by Danica Patrick.

GoDaddy’s second commercial will feature new GoDaddy Girl Bar Rafaeli.

Kaley Cuoco Makes Dreams Come True in Toyota Super Bowl Teaser

kaley_cuoco_toyota_sb_13.png

Earlier this month we reported Toyota had signed a deal with Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco to appear in the brand’s Super Bowl commercial. The commercial itself will feature a photo chosen from an Instagram photo competition held between January 4 and January 12.

This week, Toyota released a teaser that has 27-year-old Cuoco sashaying down the street sprinkling purple fairy dust and granting people their wishes.

Cuoco can also be seen playing William Shatner’s daughter in a recent Priceline commercial

Volkswagen Jetta: Butcher

Since the impulse buy is familiar to most shoppers, communicating the brand’s message was easy. Executing the creative idea, however, was much trickier. Key to the spot’s believability was finding a location where two cars – at roughly 3,000 pounds apiece – could be hung from the wall or ceiling. Since Volkswagen Canada’s spots avoid using computer graphics as a way to reinforce Volkswagen’s authentic style, a very large space was needed. The stables of a downtown Toronto historical castle, Casa Loma, were eventually discovered and booked for the shoot. The stables provided a quaint space with high ceilings and authentic style details, like the subway-tiled walls so common in traditional food markets, which were a perfect backdrop for the concept of the shoot.

Sex, Lies, Video…And Really Awesome Awards in Las Vegas

las_vegas_from_tao.jpg

Last week we were in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit. It’s the premiere conference focusing on affiliate marketing. If you’re not familiar with affiliate marketing, you should be. Read this to learn more.

If you have been following us on Flickr, we always try to bring you photos of all the event’s happenings. Affiliate Summit is the kick off event of the year for our annual conference travels and a time for reflections and looking at the good and the bad of the year before. It’s also a great time to catch a cold from the 5,000 attendees and the tens of thousands who were in the city the week prior for CES.

Anyway, we’d like to share some news. Adrants contributor Murray Newlands was honored at the Affiliate Ball with a AFFY award for Outstanding Achievements. The AFFYS have grown is stature over the past several years and have become one of the recognized industry awards to win for individuals. Organizer Darren Blatt said “This (award) is a refection of Murray’s hard work in interviewing industry experts and getting them to share their knowledge and incites. We want to honor people who make a major contribution to our industry.”

So it’s not CareerBuilder deciding not to advertise in the Super Bowl but it is news for us.

Jornais impressos são comparados a dinossauros em Paper Age

Desde a época da faculdade, eu ouço aquela velha história de que os jornais impressos irão desaparecer, dando lugar a internet em definitivo. E lá se vão 15 anos. Se vão acabar ou não, é uma discussão para outro post. Mas se for para acabar, espero que seja de uma maneira tão bonita e bem-feita como a animação Paper Age, do designer alemão Ken Ottmann. Aqui, os dinossauros são feitos de papel jornal e o meteoro apontado como causa da dizimação dos seres pré-históricos é um tablet.

Em seu site, Ottmann explica que a animação 3D foi criada a partir de um estudo de cinema 4D e After Effects. Uma curiosidade também apontada no blog do designer é que o tablet está aberto em uma página do Google com os resultados para a Leistungsschutzrecht, a lei alemã de direitos autorais que exige que os dispositivos de busca e agregadores paguem taxas de licenciamento às publicações para utilizar os trechos de texto. Mais pano pra manga?

Expereal App: analisando seus sentimentos ao longo do tempo

Rastretar e visualizar dados sobre sua vida com aplicativos para smartphone, seja para controlar atividades físicas ou analisar a produtividade do dia, já é mais do que comum.

Mas e quanto à atividade mental, ao “eu” interior, aos sentimentos contidos nos altos e baixos da vida? Antes, essa função só era preenchida pelo diário pessoal.

Fugindo de dados facilmente quantificáveis e partindo para o abstrato, com o aplicativo Expereal, dá para observar suas mudanças de humor ao longo do tempo e até lembrar de experiências através dos sentimentos que registrou.

Funciona assim: o usuário dá uma nota de 1 a 10 para aquele momento que quer registrar. Junto, é possível adicionar tags, descrições, nomes, fotos e localização, para que o registro seja o mais próximo possível da verdadeira experiência. O aplicativo cria gráficos para a visualização do seu humor ao longo do tempo, além de compará-los com os de outros usuários.

expereal-1

Com logo criado por Ricardo Santos e design inspirado no trabalho de Reid Miles, famoso por suas capas de álbuns do Miles Davis, o aplicativo traz uma experiência visual simples e intuitiva.

O criador do Expereal, Jonathan Cohen, em entrevista para Quantified Self, conta que construiu o aplicativo para servir como complemento emocional às tantas ferramentas de controle e análise de dados (quantified self tools) disponíveis por aí como Fitbit e Nike Fuelband. Sua principal inspiração foi o livro “Pensar, Depressa e Devagar”, de Daniel Kahneman, que explora curiosidades cognitivas como, por exemplo, que as pessoas tendem a lembrar o conteúdo emocional apenas de como algo terminou, em vez de como nos sentimentos enquanto algo, de fato, estava acontecendo.

Será que mantendo uma rígida análise de nós mesmos podemos nos entender com mais clareza e evoluirmos como pessoa e em qualidade de vida?

Sentimentos não são como calorias, quantificáveis em dados numericamente lineares, com margens negativas ou positivas, e resultados ideais. Mas, como explica Cohen no vídeo acima, o aplicativo está aqui não para causar uma consciência neurótica de nós mesmos, mas sim para nos ajudar a refletir.

Expereal está disponível de graça para iPhone, iPod e iPad aqui.
