Nike China cria tênis ao vivo em outdoor gigante

Com o objetivo de demostrar a natureza única da tecnologia usada para desenvolver o Nike Free Flyknit e também causar comoção em seu lançamento, a Nike China apostou em uma mídia externa, porém usando o outdoor de forma inusitada.

Em parceria com a Wieden+Kennedy, as equipes montaram um espetáculo público para quem passasse pela Nanjingdonglu (Nanjing East Road) em Xangai, uma das vias mais movimentadas da cidade.

Três trabalhadores vestidos com uniformes da marca subiram em frente ao outdoor pendurados em estruturas de apoio e, durante o dia todo, foram colando tiras de tecidos que, juntas, deram vida ao tênis.

A fachada da loja da Nike na avenida serviu como apoio para o enorme outdoor desenvolvido. Em trocadilho com live painting, a ação foi apelidada de live weaving, enfatizando o Nike Free Flyknit e sua qualidades de “vestir como uma meia”.

Art Everywhere troca anúncios por obras de arte em outdoors da Inglaterra

Durante duas semanas, obras de artes tomaram conta de 22 mil outdoors por cidades do Reino Unido, lugares antes reservados para propaganda. A ideia por trás do projeto Art Everywhere foi trazer 57 das pinturas inglesas mais famosas dos museus para as ruas, ocupando grandes espaços de mídia externa como em ruas movimentadas, pontos de ônibus, trens e metrôs. Resultado: a maior exposição de arte do mundo.

A relação dos habitantes com a arte e com a própria cidade mudou. Não há tempo e somos onipresentes. Será que as pessoas que passaram por estes pontos notaram a diferença?

Com a liderança de Sir Peter Blake – famoso por criar a capa do álbum Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band dos Beatles – a iniciativa uniu grandes parceiros e colaboradores como o Tate Modern, o Art Fund, diversas agências de publicidade britânicas, e também empresas como Clearchannel e JC Decaux.

Para abrir o projeto, Blake revelou seu próprio trabalho datado da década de 80, The Meeting or Have a Nice Day Mr Hockney, em um enorme outdoor em Westfield London Shopping Centre.

As demais peças foram selecionadas pelo público, a partir da coleção da galeria nacional de arte britânica. Dentre elas, estão pintores do século 19 como Turner e Whistler, do século 20 como John Singer Sargent e até trabalhos do contemporâneo Damien Hirst. Uma das artes mais votadas foi a The Lady of Shalott, de 1888, por John William Waterhouse.

Para aqueles que não encontram tempo para os museus ou ainda consideram as galerias de arte intimidadoras, essa é a chance.

Ocupando espaços normalmente reservados para publicidade, a competição com os diversos anúncios – de “última geração”, passando por gráficos em movimento, 3D e interação – que rodeiam a obra de arte, podem até fazer com que ela passe despercebida por muitos.

Para amantes de arte ou pessoas mais observadoras, a ideia é de puro prazer. Já para os apressados cidadãos da cidade grande – que se não estão encarando o trânsito, não desgrudam os olhos do celular – além de facilitar o acesso e o contato com a arte, o projeto oferece um tempo de contemplação em meio ao caos diário.

Coke Social Robot Shares Hot, Half-Dressed Israelis With Homebound Teens

coke_social_robot.png

To make sure every teen in Israel was able to experience its annual Coca-Cola Summer Love festival, the brand, with help from Israeli agency gTeam, created the Coke Social Robot. Controlled by users at home, the robot helped those who couldn’t make it to the event join the fun.

The robot carried microphones and cameras and could be navigated around the festival. Those on the remote end of the robot could hang out with their friends, check out what was going on at the festival and, of course, enjoy all the eye candy.

Check out the case video below.

Honda Tries to Keep the Wheels Turning on Drive-In Theaters

Cool news out of Honda camp: The American branch of the Japanese automaker is attempting to revive the dying drive-in theater industry with Project Drive-In, an awareness campaign that will provide five drive-in theaters with new digital projectors. Currently, about half of the 368 drive-ins still operating in America may be forced to close in the next few years unless they switch to digital projects to support the technology used for most new releases. New digital projectors cost between $75k-$100k, which as you may be able to guess, isn’t chump change for theaters that mostly exist in Middle America.

Honda, teaming with its longtime ally RPA, launched the super-duper social flood on the usual networks and has anchored it all to projectdrivein.com for users who want to donate, spread the word, vote on theaters to save, etc. And even if the good press will ultimately fail to save the obsolete drive-in theater industry, kudos to Honda for jumping in with both feet anyway.

Coke Brings Personalization to Israel’s Billboards

coke_billboard_israel.jpg

Expanding upon Coke’s personalization campaign, Israel’s Gefen Team created interactive billboards which invited people to enter their names using a Coca Cola-branded smartphone app.

The location-based app was able to identify the consumers as they approached the billboard and transmitted their names automatically to the billboards. Using geo-fence technology, whenever a consumer approached the billboard, they received a message notifying them that their name was on the billboard.

The app ranked #1 in Israel’s app store on the first day of the campaign and maintained that position throughout the campaign period with a total of 100,000 downloads.

Check out the case study video below.

Coca-Cola Makes Personalized Billboards with Geofence Technology

After their global campaign in which people could buy personalized Coke bottles and cans, Coca-Cola Israel and Tel Aviv-based Gefen Team built a campaign around personalized billboards. Users downloaded a special app, then entered their name. Using geofence technology, the billboard would sense the user’s nearness and display their name. Each user would receive a message notifying them their name was splashed for the street to see.

Coca Cola used Israel’s “main billboards,” meaning users would see their names in lights more than once. And no matter how finite, people love fame: during the campaign period, the app reached 100k downloads and ranked #1 in Israel’s app store.

It seems like an elementary gimmick, but it’s got new-technology legs and exciting potential. Maybe the next brand to use these billboards will display a full message, making commuters’ life that much more fun.

Creature Channels Nostradamus for Capitol Hill Block Party

Seattle shop Creature really loves their window space. We’ve covered some of their pane projects before, like the motion-sensor-triggered mirror installed in April. There’s also the pop-up window shop from last winter. And now recently, as part of Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party that ran from July 26-28, Creature used their window space to chute out creative fortunes to festival-goers and set up cameras, so they could see who had what fortune and then make that fortune come true.

Creative Director Pam Fujimoto blogged about the whole experience and described the project as “pure Creature,” which aside from being lyrically fun, also sounds like the name of a bad 80s rock band. Makes you wonder what impure Creature would look like. A sample fortune was: “Someone will tell you you look like a younger Tony Danza.” Others involved $2 bills and Mike & Ike’s. The fortunes themselves aren’t that important, but the execution from staffers who spent their weekend on the venture is not only good free publicity, but just a cool bit to cover on a rainy Thursday.
