Google promove Nexus com mais um comercial sobre pais e bebês

Se o Google já se repetia em seu último comercial, “Brand New Baby”, o que dizer de mais uma vez o mesmo tema na “nova” criação para o Nexus?

Ou as equipes de marketing dos diferentes departamentos não se conversam, ou a empresa deseja mesmo forçar o conceito da tecnologia em favor das conexões humanas. Relembre “Jess Time” e “New Dad”.

No comercial para o Nexus 10, um casal que espera pelo primeiro filho se informa e diverte através do gadget, contando com uma ajuda até para escolher o nome do bebê.

A criação é da agência Mullen.

3: The WiFi-Ad

When the Swedish mobile operator 3 wanted to promote their “Pocket WiFi”, a portable WiFi router, we used an unexpected media channel – WiFi. Today, when almost everyone uses portable devices, a lot of people are also looking for free internet access. We decided to help them at Stockholm Central Station. While waiting for departures and delayed connections a lot of people are using their smartphones, tablets and computers. This is what we did: First, we set up a WiFi hotspot and made it public. Then we named it ”Looking for WiFi?”. When people connected to the network they were redirected to a web page where the local 3 Store asked if it was not about time getting your own WiFi. The message included product information and directions to the 3 Store. Not only did The WiFi-Ad access a free media. The message reached the target audience just as they were looking for WiFi. Only steps away from the store offering the solution.
