Smart Twist: The Simplest Test Drive Ever

video case: http://youtu.be/dzCtkr6v5vs

Smart by Mercedes is a perfect car for a big city with huge parking problems. In Moscow, it takes an average of 19 minutes a day for a driver to find a parking place. Yet people still try to squeeze their mid-to-large cars into limited places. Our objective was to show reluctant consumers that the Smart is an best car for parking in the big city. The task was to drive the audience’s interest in Smart by demonstrating its amazing parking abilities. The results were to be measured by hotline calls and test drive applications. We involved a city-wide chain of corporate self-service cafeterias called Cafetera. There are 18 Cafeteras in Moscow’s biggest business centers (total daily audience 10 000 people), a bulls-eye hit into the target audience: upper middle class white collars. The lines in Cafeteras during lunch hours are as terrible as the parking situation around them. We noticed that just a simple 900 turn of a tray will increase the number of trays on the counter by 50%. And this is exactly how it feels to park a Smart. A simple sticker on a tray turned it into the simplest test drive ever – the effect of Smart parking is visible immediately, on the counter.

Total people reached by the message: approx. 9000 Hotline calls increase vs. planned: 186% Smart Test Drive online applications coming from Smart Twist vs. classic media ads: 26:1 ratio Total people applying for a test drive: 85 – 250% increase vs. the monthly average Conversion rate 70% – people applying for a Test Drive vs QR code readings Cafetera lines efficiency increase during the promo: 38%

Dodge Charger, o carro de “Defiance”

“Defiance” é a série que é um jogo, e o jogo que é uma série do SyFy Channel. Um drama que se passa em 2046 na cidade de mesmo nome, onde a humanidade tem que lidar com a invasão de sete raças alienígenas no nosso planeta.

Dentro disso tudo, está a marca Dodge. O modelo Charger – com algumas modificações – aparece em diversos episódios, dirigido pelo protagonista Josua Nolan. É o carro que sobreviveu ao apocalipse para contar história. E além desse product placement, a montadora aproveitou o tema em um comercial.

Em 30 segundos, vemos um Dodge Charger – iniciando nos dias atuais – enfrentando diversas batalhas até 33 anos no futuro. Tudo embalado pela música “Freedom” de Anthony Hamilton e Elayna Boynton, que você conhece da trilha de “Django Livre”.

A brincadeira com o fim do mundo não é novidade no segmento. No Super Bowl de 2012, o Chevy Silverado já liderou a resistência humana.

A criação é da Wieden + Kennedy de Portland.

Hospital A.C.Camargo Cancer Center: Superformula

The first step in the fight against cancer is believing in the cure. But chemotherapy treatment is difficult, especially for a child. To help them believe, JWT worked with the A.C.Camargo Cancer Center and another client of the agency, Warner Bros., to create an idea capable of changing their negative perception of the treatment:

Transform the chemotherapy into a “Superformula.”

To this end, covers for intravenous bags were constructed based on characters from the Justice League, creating, for the first time, a child-friendly version of the treatment.Co-developed with doctors, the covers are easy to sterilize and handle and meet all hospital hygiene standards. To give these covers a more powerful meaning, the agency started to produce a special series of cartoons and comic books in which the superheroes go through experiences similar to those of kids with cancer, and recover their strength, thanks to this “Superformula.”

An experience that went far beyond the covers by also providing a new look to the entire Children’s Ward: the game room was turned into the Hall of Justice, corridors and doors were decorated in the same theme, and the exterior acquired an exclusive entrance for these little heroes.

An idea which, since it has been up and running, is helping the children in their own struggle against one of the real world’s greatest villains.

Not All Dollar Shave Club Rip Offs Are Funny

While this Pure Storage video follows Dollar Shave Club fairly closely, it’s really two minutes of waiting for something that’s actually funny to happen. Sadly, it never really happens. Which doesn’t necessarily make it bad. It’s just not as good as it could be. Capiche?

Suicide Prevention Effort Makes Interesting Use of ‘Skip Ad’ Function

suicid_prevention_publicis_brussels.png

Publicis Brussels has created an ad for the Belgian suicide prevention line, Centre du Prevention de Suicide, that makes creative use of the pre-roll skip ad feature. The work aims to recruit good listeners for the prevention line.

Those who don’t listen to the woman in the ad and hit “skip ad” are shown a scene that results in suicide. Those who don’t click “skip ad” and listen to the woman’s story get thanked by the woman and are shown the recruitment message.

t’s an interesting approach both for the use of the “skip ad” feature and for its commentary on today’s world where everyone is in a rush and doesn’t care about the well being of others.

Of course, we can’t really conclude that people who don’t skip the ad will be good prevention line listeners or that people who do skip the ad won’t be but we do like the analogy Publicis used.

Alerj Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro: Google Maps – End of the Road

We created an unprecedented intervention using the search facility of Google Maps on the leisure website of the largest newspaper in Rio. Whenever people would look for bars, nightclubs or restaurants, their route would be abruptly interrupted by traffic accident icons. Trees, street post and fire hydrants would appear in the middle of the route leading people to a public awareness message.
