Heineken: Ignite

Heineken Ignite: Heineken’s first interactive beer bottle. Heineken embraces the start-up culture of experimentation because it knows that invention never sleeps. The brand understands that the best ‘user experiences’ tap into existing consumer behaviors and push technology into the background. The intent of the Heineken Ignite project was to develop an idea that would create a memorable Heineken experience unlocking the power and possibilities of mobile innovation and technology. Heineken believes that mobile innovation could offer a much more rewarding experience than just an app and embraced the challenge to think about how the product could be leveraged as an interface to the brand experience. A prototype of Heineken Ignite will be revealed on 9 April at Milan Design Week as part of Heineken’s Lounge of the Future concept. Heineken takes its promise to “open your world” even further with the Heineken Ignite project, enhancing the organic way in which the product is used based on social interaction between beer drinkers. This innovative approach lets people be a part of the party in a whole new way and opens up possibilities in social situations.

Volkswagen New Beetle: Automatic skip ad

Volkswagen announces the New Beetle in a video that clicks “skip ad” for you. To announce the New Beetle, AlmapBBDO created a YouTube action showing the benefits of the DSG Tiptronic transmission. In a differentiated way, the film uses the pre-roll format, commercials that are displayed before the video is watched. In the intervention, in the end of the 5 seconds of mandatory waiting time, the video clicks the “skip ad” button. The lettering explains: “New Beetle with DSG Tiptronic transmission. You don’t shift gears. Neither does the commercial”.

The Key to Engaging Today’s Video Audiences: Respect Their Time


Twenty-five years ago, George Stalk of the Boston Consulting Group introduced the concept of “time-based competition,” calling attention to the success of companies that had made timely responsiveness to consumers a major priority. “Give customers what they want when they want it,” was the mantra.

A quarter century later, it’s still a relevant concept, and, in a world where viewers have more options and the competition for engagement is the fiercest it’s ever been, advertisers can adapt it to great advantage. Multi-tasking is through the roof, in a given day, Nielsen estimates, 40% of all smartphone and tablet owners use these devices while watching traditional TV. One in three households now owns at least one TV set connected to the Internet. Thanks to DVRs, Nielsen estimates, nearly 65 million adults aged 18-49 — and 51 million TV households — can record TV programs and watch them on their own schedule.

The brands that respect the value of the viewer’s time — and use it to their advantage — will succeed. They will be partnering with publishers and distributors to reimagine the relationship between the content, the viewer, the device and the environment, to deliver creative that will be effective in each situation and platform.

Sorted Books: o que dizem os títulos

“Sempre observo as qualidades físicas do livro. O tamanho carrega temperamento e tom de voz, assim como as letras do título. O texto grande e bold pode ser exuberante, urgente; já uma tipografia menor comunica uma voz insegura, tímida” – Nina Katchadourian, em seu site

Desde 1993, a artista Nina Katchadourian tem feito das livrarias a casa do seu projeto Sorted Books. Seu objetivo: vasculhar por livros e os organizar em uma pilha para que os títulos formem sentenças irreverentes, cheias de humor e inteligência.

O projeto continua até hoje, e já tomou como casa diferentes lugares ao redor do mundo, de coleções particulares à livrarias e bibliotecas. O processo é sempre o mesmo: se debruçar em prateleiras de livros, pegar títulos específicos e os organizar em grupos, de forma que os títulos formem sequências lidas de cima para baixo ou da direita para a esquerda.

O resultado final é registrado em fotografias. Atualmente, são mais de 130 fotos, algumas delas separadas em séries de temas específicos.

Além das frases serem inteligentes comentários sociais que nos tira sorrisos, cada pedaço de narrativa criado permite que as pessoas criem histórias ao redor, capturando em poucas palavras situações que extrapolam o contexto.

Sorted Books pode ser visto de muitas formas: uma série de fotografias ou esculturas, uma instalação itinerante e até uma coleção de microcontos, poemas ou piadas. Mas, em todas as suas formas, é um ato de leitura.

Ler não apenas as palavras, mas o que cada livro pode dizer, em questão de aparência, de contexto, de título, ou de qualquer outra história que a ser tirada dali.
