4 Newbie VR Mistakes to Avoid


Very few marketers know how to use VR and 360 content. It’s all experimental at this stage and can easily go wrong — in a stomach-lurching way — but this is the story of every revolutionary format. Early adopters pave the way, making tons of mistakes so that the rest of us don’t have to. We’ve certainly learned a lot since launching the first stock 360 footage last year, chiefly that you cannot treat virtual reality like any other medium.

VR creates a powerful connection with viewers that can supercharge a brand’s emotional resonance. Facebook, YouTube and Google Chrome all now support this content category — driving up demand 814%. But how can advertisers foray into virtual reality without burning up production budgets on rookie mistakes?

Let’s start by discussing what not to do. These are the biggest blunders that newbies make when attempting to bring VR and 360 video into their portfolio.

What a Chatbot Can Teach You — and Unilever — About Hair


THE INSIGHT

Launched by late hairstylist and entrepreneur Jheri Redding in 1979, Nexxus could use some updating in a category where new-product churn is accelerating. Nexxus, now owned by Unilever, has declined in recent years despite a 2005 expansion from salons to mass retail that brought more distribution, but arguably less professional cachet. Nexxus sells for more than twice per ounce what many mass brands cost, while hundreds of new salon and mass hair products hit the market each year, intensifying competition. And none of that has actually improved how people feel about their hair. “We know the vast majority of women are dissatisfied with their hair, and it’s getting worse,” said Global Brand Director Jessica Grigoriou. “In one study, only 11% of women were satisfied with their hair. And couple that with the hair-care category, which is complex and can be really difficult to navigate and shop.”

The 8th of March, International Women’s Day, is an occasion to mark the importance of women across the world. It also is the advertiser’s opportunity to create, engage and be of relevance to women. Hosts of brands ranging from women’s apparel, FMCG to generic use make their voices heard.

Ola Cabs, India’s largest transport aggregator, isn’t one to be left behind. Always ones to have a unique and relatable point of view on subjects, the brand features a present-day take on Women’s Day. With a video featuring stand-up comic and actor Sumukhi Suresh, Ola urges women to watch out for all the expected tropes the media will be full of.

The video is a heartfelt ode to all things one can expect on the occasion of International Women’s Day. Right from patronising text messages and the customary bouquet from HR, to hashtags of all sorts, Sumukhi delivers a passionate monologue, concluding it with the message ‘Respect every day’.

Conceived and produced in partnership with creative agency Happy mcgarrybowen, now a Dentsu Aegis Network agency, the video has clocked in over 600,000 views on the brand’s Facebook page, gathering strong social media sentiment in its favour.
