O primeiro curta-metragem feito com Vine

É a primeira vez que o Vine é usado desta forma, com uma mecânica bastante simples e coerente, incentivando a criatividade dos usuários para um objetivo em comum.

Já vimos vários concursos e ações de marcas com objetivo de usar o Vine App de forma criativa. Mas desta vez, o Airbnb quer levar o Vine para outro nível e criar o primeiro curta-metragem filmado com o aplicativo.

Em parceria com a agência Muller, a empresa lançou o “Hollywood and Vines“, uma campanha pedindo aos usuários que contribuíssem com um vídeo de até 6 segundos via Vine, seguindo as instruções postadas.

Participantes precisam escolher uma das cenas a serem criadas, filmá-las com o aplicativo e compartilhar no Twitter usando a hashtag #airbnbhv. Os melhores Vines serão editados, construindo um curta-metragem a ser exibido no Sundance Channel. Os vencedores também ganham $100 de créditos a serem gastos em serviços Airbnb.

Instruções para o usuário filmar cada cena

O conceito que temos de “filme” em nossas mentes está mudando.

A ideia de construir um filme através da participação dos fãs não é uma ideia nova. A ação, por exemplo, teve como inspiração o filme Life In A Day, do Riddle Scott, e outros como o The Johnny Cash Project.

Novas tecnologias e dispositivos como o smartphone fazem do filme um meio mais dinâmico, podendo ser acessado através de múltiplas “janelas”, carregando diferentes informações em um único frame. Esses caminhos podem levar para diferentes narrativas, e o filme se torna um exercício pessoal, descentralizado e participativo.

Uma ação para engajar uma plateia ocupada e multitarefa, que tem poder, sabedoria e quer participar.

Nesta ação, o filme já começa em seu processo de produção. Podemos ver futuras cenas e até partes que ficaram de fora em primeira mão, apenas acessando a hashtag do concurso.

Talvez essa possa ser uma das respostas à como engajar uma plateia ocupada e multitarefa que por vezes parece não assistir a nada, mas está ali e é extremamente observadora. Uma multidão que tem poder, sabedoria e quer participar.

Our Night apresenta linha 2014 da Harley-Davidson

Comemorando 110 anos de atividades, a Harley-Davidson resolveu investir em algumas mudanças na sua linha touring 2014, chamada de Projeto Rushmore. As novidades chegam por todos os lados: novo motor, design e tecnologia que inclui um sistema multimídia com rádio, GPS e bluetooth com tela touchscreen e até reconhecimento de voz. Para divulgar o lançamento, a VSA Partners criou Our Night um filme que à primeira vista é bastante simples, mas tem uma história interessante por trás.

Sob o tema United by Independents, a VSA resolveu contar com pessoas que realmente amam a marca para criar um filme que mostrasse seu espírito, que apesar de estar dando um grande passo rumo a modernidade, continua valorizando suas raízes. Isso se traduz, por exemplo, nos motociclistas que aparecem no filme, todos eles verdadeiros “riders”. Aliás, fãs e funcionários da marca aparecem em uma montagem no final, em fotos captadas em redes sociais.

Mas um dos grandes destaques de Our Night, que retrata um passeio noturno prestes a ser interrompido é claro, por um chefe, é a trilha sonora. Diversas bandas foram convidadas para mostrar sua interpretação de Come Together, dos Beatles, mas quem acabou levando foi a irlandesa The Strypes, que mandou muito bem neste cover.

Campbell Mithun, GSD&M Launch #LoveThatChicken Social Media Promo for Popeyes — Prepare for Bad Singing

Campbell Mithun, digital AOR for Popeyes, has just launched the online portion of the #LoveThatChicken campaign to promote the chain’s “Love that Chicken Month” promotion that includes a 2-piece chicken and biscuit for $2.99 offer. The #LoveThatChicken campaign (GSD&M is traditional AOR and handled the intro video above) invites users to upload video of themselves singing the “Love that chicken from Popeyes” jingle with the tag #LoveThatChicken and post the URL to the Popeyes site for a chance to win $1,000. Visitors to the site can pick and choose uploaded videos to play at the same time, ostensibly to create a chorus of “perfect harmony” — although we’re not sure the Popeyes fans live up to that description.

Winners will be chosen from each social video channel — Vine, Instagram and YouTube. In addition to the $1,000 first prize, second place will receive a Bluetooth speaker or a Popeyes T-shirt and third place will receive a $25 gift card. It’s a clever social media campaign, even if it’s not so easy on the ears.

Why Marketers Should Care About The Quantified Self


The Quantified Self movement represents the increasingly popular digitization of our physical lives. The QS movement has exploded as a result of the adoption of devices that track calorie intake, physical activity, heart rate and other key metrics that can be used to determine fitness, mood and other personal analytics.

Some of the most well-known devices that enable self-quantification — otherwise known as “lifelogging” — include Nike+ SportWatch GPS and FuelBand, Jawbone’s Up Band and FitBit One. Donning these data-generating appendages is often referred to as “wearable computing.”

Todd Cullen, global chief data officer at Ogilvy & Mather on QS for Marketing:

California Court Battle Today May Set Up Supreme Contest Over Aereo


Broadcasters stymied by court losses in New York are turning to judges in California and Massachusetts in their campaign to shut down the Aereo online streaming TV service, potentially creating a patchwork of rulings that would need to be resolved by the Supreme Court.

Aereo, which relays broadcast TV to subscribers over the internet, is continuing to expand its service to more U.S. cities even as CBS Corp., Comcast’s NBC, Walt Disney Co.’s ABC and Twentieth Century Fox’s Fox pursue copyright litigation that may wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

A federal court in Los Angeles granted Fox’s motion to close a similar service originally called Aereokiller, and lawyers are set to argue over that decision today before the U.S. Court of Appeals in Pasadena, Calif. If judges uphold Fox’s victory, that would create a split on essentially the same technology between federal appeals courts in California and New York, which could propel the question to the nation’s highest court.

Winters also takes us on a visual tour of the shuttle as a marvel of technology–from the crew spaces with their complex instrumentation, to the massive engines that propelled the shuttle, to the enormous vehicle assembly building where the shuttles were prepared for flight continue
