A few months ago, an egg blew up on Instagram. It completely took over. Yes, it’s come to this: an egg. All those marketing budgets. All those data points and costly influencers pouting vacantly into the middle distance, and an egg beat them all. Even Kylie Jenner. What gives? Well, because, people. People, it turns…

Google Will Let Users Automatically Delete Their Location and Activity Data

“Privacy” has been the buzzword of the digital advertising industry in recent years, with the sector’s largest data hoarders having to bow to the increasingly audible privacy lobby (to a certain extent).

Alpha Inversiones: Reusable Billboard


Outdoor
Alpha Inversiones

After a wave of plastic waste hit the coasts of the Dominican capital in mid-2018, a lot of people, companies and brands have tried to find a solution so that it does not happen again.

The laws that regulate the use and handling of these materials take time to be put into effect because Dominican consumer habits and daily purchases still depend on these materials.

Alpha Inversiones, a brokerage firm that understands that investments can change the future of a person or a country, decided to apply its philosophy by converting its outdoor advertising into more than 1,000 reusable bags. The bags display the message, “This Bag was Once a Billboard” and now circulate in some retail outlets.

At the same time, it requested by means of its social networks that its followers tag other brands prompting them to donate their billboards and thus continue to make bags to establish a new culture with habits of recycling and reuse.

Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá: Music is felt at the airport


Media
Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá

The Bogotá Music Market (BOmm) is one of the most important music programs and festivals in Latin America which takes place in Bogotá; to welcome visitors arriving at El Dorado International Airport, we took 16 digital shelters on the outside (8 per floor) to create a show where we turned them into interpreters of music through lights and animations.
DAY:
Based on the most important musical genres of Colombia and their most representative instruments, we composed 8 songs by means of software and specialized complements. They became the first musical orchestra of digital shelters with animations and audio rhythmic illustrations, that vibrated to demonstrate our visitors that music is not only heard, it’s felt!
NIGHT:
At night we wanted the digital shelters to transmit the feeling of the music, for this we developed a LED-light show through a sequence of colors and animations, creating a “choreography” and a unique visual harmony, which even without sound, made the visitors discover the power of music by awakening their senses and transmitting emotions.
