Interactive Heineken Beer Bottle Does Everything but Drink Itself

Heineken is trying to tap into club culture with an interactive bottle design that uses micro sensors and wireless technology to interact with drinkers. The LED lights react when people toast each other and sip from the bottle, and they can be synchronized to music as well. It's like drinking out of a Simon game! This bottle is comparable to those Japanese video-game urinals—a cool idea, but it's going to encourage some pretty weird behavior. Via PSFK.

    

Braincast 59 – Quentin Tarantino

Apelidado de “diretor DJ”, Quentin Jerome Tarantino é um dos poucos criativos cujo nome já denota um gênero de filme. Alçado ao status de mito pop em meados da década de 1990, sua história é geralmente narrada como o “fã que chegou lá”, após construir sua cultura cinematográfica através de um trabalho como atendente de videolocadora.

Esse conto certamente é exagerado, para se encaixar melhor numa mitologia popular, mas Tarantino é sem dúvida um mestre da associação de ideias, explorando gêneros e referências do cinema, quadrinhos, música e TV como ninguém.

No Braincast 59, mais um especial, Carlos Merigo, Saulo Mileti, Guga Mafra e Alexandre Maron conversam sobre a influência do diretor nas mais variadas áreas das indústrias criativas, sua surpreendente filmografia, e como ele revolucionou a indústria do cinema independente.

E claro, não custa lembrar, tem SPOILERS de todos os filmes. Cuidado.

Amazon’s Ad Platform Being Shaped by Utility and Speed


Amazon has been quietly building out its ad platform for the last six years — and it’s finding utility and speed key to getting consumers to act. At Ad Age’s Digital Conference, Lisa Utzschneider, VP-global advertising sales at Amazon, shed some light on the retail giant’s efforts.

A “new normal” has evolved, where customers expect relevant experiences across devices. The expectation is that the consumer can buy whatever she needs whenever she wants to on any device. Consumers expect to go from wanting to purchasing in 30 seconds or less, Ms. Utzschneider said.

That expectation is shaping Amazon’s ad platform. It is embedding ratings and reviews, coupons and click-to-buy functionality in ads. Consumers who view those ads are 20% to 30% more likely to take action than the average customer who reviews e-commerce ads. Likewise, multi-screen campaigns, when compared to campaigns that have run on one screen, are performing 18% better.

Pegadinha da LG coloca mulheres espiando um banheiro masculino

Depois da pegadinha com fundo falso em elevador, a LG novamente surpreende consumidores (ou seriam mijadores?) desavisados.

Em um banheiro masculino, o que pareciam inocentes telas de publicidade na frente dos mictórios, transforma-se em voyeurismo com mulheres lânguidas que simulam estar vendo tudo. Sensores ainda indicam que se os homens conseguiram ou não fazer aquilo que intenciovam ao entrar no toilette.

O vídeo faz parte da campanha “So Real It’s Scary” da marca, que, se transmite pouco o conceito pretendido, funciona bem como viral. E que comecem as discussões sobre a veracidade da ação.

A criação é da Goviral/AOL.

7 Reasons Your Brand’s Website Should Incorporate Responsive Design

7_reasons_responsive_design.png

Creating a web strategy to deal with the rise of mobile devices boils down to three primary options: Developing a native app, designing a separate mobile site, or recalibrating your primary website with responsive design.

Using insight from industry experts and in-depth research data, this eBook from Bridgeline Digital, “7 Reasons to Consider Responsive Design for Your Company’s Next Generation Website,” explores the advantages of using responsive design to take your web presence into the mobile era. Responsive design is a fancy term to describe a site layout that works on all devices seamlessly. You create the site once and the layout adapts to and renders properly on different screen sizes. An extremely important consideration given the dramatic increase in usage of mobile devices to access the web.

Download the whitepaper now and make sure your website is appropriately designed for mobile devices.

Twitter Said to Seek Deals With Viacom, NBC to Feature TV


Twitter is close to reaching partnerships with TV networks that would bring more high-quality video content and advertising to the social site, according to people familiar with the matter.

The San Francisco-based company has held talks with Viacom about hosting TV clips on its site and selling ads alongside them, said two of the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions were private. Twitter has also discussed a content partnership with Comcast’s NBC Universal, said two of the people.

Twitter, which began in 2006 as a service for 140-character status updates, is racing to add video content that will get users to spend more time on the site and watch ads. Building on its existing partnerships with Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN, Weather Channel and Turner Broadcasting System, Twitter is seeking to add more entertainment and news video, two people familiar with the plan said. NBC, which also owns the USA Network, and Viacom, which owns MTV and Nickelodeon, would make attractive partners given the popularity of their content.

Don’t Use Social to Generate Sales; Make Selling Social


Some say we can’t value social-marketing efforts directly. Others claim that if we can’t attribute a return on investment, we shouldn’t be doing it. But maybe we’re all missing the point. Maybe the problem is not whether social value can be measured in dollars. Perhaps the issue is that we can’t measure in dollars objectives that weren’t intended to be profitable in the first place.

Most CEOs and CMOs have a clearly defined objective to make money for their organization. Yet most social-marketing programs are still designed to create engagement, gain followers or generate Facebook likes. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that there’s a disconnect there. Getting to an ROI figure from most social efforts doesn’t take better analysis tools — it simply takes the inclusion of objectives that are centered on generating profit.

Customer loyalty, advocacy, engagement, interest and awareness are all important in the marketing funnel, but the assumption that they supersede the “baser” activity of selling is pure hubris. If customers don’t also desire “buying” relationships with us, then we have no business being in business.
