DigitasLBi SF Launches Taco Bell Breakfast Menu
Posted in: UncategorizedTaco Bell and DigitasLBi San Francisco (their digital AOR) are launching their new breakfast menu (the proper response: “Gross”) with a different kind of social campaign.
DigitasLBi and Taco Bell are sending out 1,000 burner phones across the country as part of a teaser campaign for Taco Bell’s largest menu expansion in their 50 year history this Thursday with the introduction of the new breakfast menu, offering people the opportunity to make a terrible decision on their way to work. The phones serve as “a direct line to Taco Bell Breakfast and a chance to win epic swag by challenging fans to create social content.” Preloaded text messages on the phones offer usersinstructions on how to activate the phones and accept the terms and conditions.
Then, throughout the week, “phones will be called and texted at various times throughout the day, prompting participants to complete missions” using the hashtag #wakeuplivemas, for a chance to win prizes (like a waffle taco hoodie). Tumblr will act as the hub for all the created content, while winners will be notified via their phone and Twitter. Mobile marketing firm Hipcricket was responsible for powering the voice and text messages on the phone. The idea is to create a “retro guerilla social network that generates excitement to create compelling social chatter and content.” We’ll give DigitasLBi and Taco Bell this: the breakfast menu launch is certainly unusual. You can follow along with this campaign on Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter, and if you feel like being sick by lunch, head to Taco Bell for breakfast this Thursday.

Oh god, is he pouring maple syrup on….eeew

Desigualdade entre gêneros começa dentro de casa
Posted in: UncategorizedA igualdade de direitos entre gêneros é uma luta constante para muitas mulheres, mas que costuma ganhar maior destaque – e por isso mesmo chamar mais atenção – durante o mês de março, quando se estendem as celebrações em torno do Dia Internacional da Mulher. Geralmente, o foco maior está no ambiente profissional, como mostra a campanha realizada pela Kommunal, mas muitas vezes nos esquecemos que o problema começa dentro de casa, com a divisão desigual das tarefas domésticas.
Para entender bem como isso funciona na prática, ou seja, como a combinação dessa divisão desigual das tarefas domésticas mais o trabalho remunerado sobrecarregam a mulher em seu dia a dia, criando uma tensão permanente, o Instituto Patrícia Galvão disponibilizou duas ferramentas online.
A primeira delas, é um infográfico interativo que apresenta os dados da pesquisa “Trabalho Remunerado e Trabalho Doméstico – Uma Tensão Permanente”, realizada em parceria com o Data Popular e SOS Corpo, dentro do Projeto Mais Direitos e Mais Poder, apoiado pela ONU Mulheres. O estudo destaca a percepção feminina de como a presença cada vez maior da mulher no mercado profissional – trabalhando tantas horas quanto os homens – não se refletiu em uma divisão mais justa das tarefas domésticas, nem na criação de políticas públicas igualitárias.
E independentemente se você é homem ou mulher, pode experimentar a outra ferramenta do projeto, o teste “Quanto Você Realmente Trabalha?”, para descobrir qual é real participação de cada pessoa de sua casa na divisão das tarefas do dia a dia, como limpeza e compras, entre outras. O resultado pode surpreender você.
A partir do conteúdo do infográfico e no teste, o Instituto Patrícia Galvão quer incentivar as pessoas a refletirem sobre os papéis que desempenham neste cenário. As pessoas podem compartilhar suas opiniões e sugestões em redes sociais utilizando a hashtag #igualdadeemcasa.

Treatings, um Tinder para buscar conselhos sobre carreira e negócios
Posted in: UncategorizedUma das principais dicas da maioria dos grandes executivos do mercado é buscar conselhos profissionais com colegas ou mentores. Só que nem sempre isso é fácil – depende da disponibilidade das pessoas, da sua área de trabalho e do quão afim elas estão de palpitar nas suas iniciativas e dilemas de carreira.
Visando facilitar essa conversa e criar pontes entre pessoas com interesses mútuos, surgiu a Treatings, uma startup nova-iorquina que é uma espécie de Tinder para negócios. O intuito básico é conectar na vida real pessoas que estejam trabalhando ou empreendendo em ramos similares.
O funcionamento é razoavelmente simples: você conecta a sua conta do Treatings com o LinkedIn, de onde o serviço puxa o seu currículo e principais habilidades, e depois pode marcar assuntos que te interessem e cafeterias ao redor que sejam as suas favoritas. A partir de então, o usuário pode tanto ativamente procurar profissionais específicos – quem sabe um desenvolvedor, ou um especialista em determinada área para avaliar a viabilidade da sua iniciativa – quanto aguardar que o sistema aponte outros profissionais que possam ser seus colaboradores, incentivadores ou ‘palpiteiros oficiais’.
O Treatings é como um Tinder para negócios: se houver interesse recíproco, o sistema coloca as pessoas em contato e sugere que tomem um café juntas.
O Treatings também usa um pouco da ideia de funcionamento de aplicativos de paquera online como o Tinder, permitindo marcar pessoas com quem você se interessaria em bater um papo e tomar um café. se houver interesse recíproco, o sistema coloca as pessoas em contato para agendar o encontro.
Por enquanto o Treatings tem cerca de 3 mil usuários cadastrados, a grande maioria deles dentro dos EUA. Tanto que ao tentar acessar o serviço, fui avisada de que não existem brasileiros (ou paulistas, ou joseenses) o suficiente para que o sistema possa me recomendar pessoas com interesses mútuos. No entanto, de acordo com que o Treatings for ganhando mais adeptos, a situação deve mudar.
Uma curiosidade é que a empresa, que foi fundada em 2012 por dois jovens profissionais do setor financeiro, funciona dentro da biblioteca da New York University. Ao invés de alugar um espaço caríssimo em Manhattan, Paul Osetinsky e Hayden Williams se tornaram ‘amigos da biblioteca’ e pagam uma taxa anual para poder utilizar o Wi-Fi, as máquinas de xerox e as salas de reunião do local.
Quem sabe o Treatings pode ser uma boa pra quem já cansou a orelha dos amigos importunando sobre suas ideias que futuramente renderão milhões de dólares, ou quem está em busca de mentoria, mas não sabe onde buscar. Além disso, é uma ótima forma de trocar conselhos por cafezinhos. Porque como já diz o ditado popular, conselhos bons nunca saem de graça.

Shelby.tv centraliza os vídeos das suas redes sociais para você assistir no melhor momento
Posted in: UncategorizedSabe quando você está naqueles 5 minutos do café e acha um vídeo bacana, mas que tem 10 minutos de duração? Ou então quando está apenas afastando o tédio passeando pelo Facebook no celular e seu amigo compartilha uma esquete, só que você não quer dar essa abusada no plano de dados? Isso acontece com todo mundo, e o Shelby.tv quer te ajudar com essa.
Ao invés de simplesmente se obrigar a dar um like para ver o vídeo mais tarde, ou estender o breve cafezinho para um longo momento de procrastinação, dá para simplesmente conectar o Shelby com as suas redes sociais e assistir os vídeos que seus amigos curtiram e compartilharam em um outro momento, quando você tiver mais tempo (e banda larga) disponível.
A empresa aposta que o número de visualizações de um vídeo, ou a data do lançamento dele, não é tão importante quanto a recomendação feita pelos amigos. “Se uma pessoa que é influente para você acha que uma conferência do TED de três anos atrás é bacana, quem se importa se já tem três anos que o vídeo foi lançado?”, defende Reece Pacheco, CEO do Shelby.tv.
Além dos vídeos recomendados pelas pessoas das suas redes, uma equipe de curadores do Shelby também costuma selecionar as tendências e virais do momento, para que você não fique por fora de alguma novidade.
O Shelby.tv é gratuito e pode ser acessado via web e também através de um app para iOS, que usa gestos para controlar a sequência de vídeos a serem tocados.

MRY Launches ‘JägerBonds’ App for Jägermeister
Posted in: UncategorizedSpeaking of MRY today, the agency has teamed up with Jägermeister to create the new app, “JägerBonds.”
The new app “transforms images and videos from multiple users’ social media posts into a video highlight reel of a group’s night out with Jägermeister” — kind of a cool idea, and one that should appeal to the young folks who comprise Jägermeister’s target demographic. Since the app is free, and easy to use, it could catch on with the right crowd. It’s a good example of a social campaign that offers people a service tied to the brand rather than just trying to sell them something.
“When the average Jägermeister consumer goes out, they typically have a drink in one hand and a mobile phone in the other,” says Heather Kozera, director of digital marketing for Sidney Frank Importing Company, Inc. “The JägerBonds app puts Jägermeister in both hands of the consumer, creating a useful and meaningful connection between a great night out and this iconic brand.”
The JägerBonds app is available to download for free at the iTunes and Google Play stores. Users simply connect the app to their social media accounts and invite friends to join along with coded “Bonds.” Then, when everyone posts to social media during their night out, JägerBonds compiles the posts and pairs them with music to document the event.
MRY, which was named the brand’s digital agency of record last October, managed all promotions, in addition to designing and developing the app. Supporting executions include “online and mobile engagements, as well as Out of Home elements in close to a dozen target markets.” MRY described the campaign’s strategy as being “to evolve the way Millennials think of Jägermeister by making the brand name synonymous with ‘uncommonly great nights.’” Check out the video above to see the app in action.

UnHate News reúne as notícias que gostaríamos de ler
Posted in: UncategorizedIniciativa realizada pela UNHATE Foundation – o braço de responsabilidade social da Benetton – em parceria com o Departamento de Informação Pública da Organização das Nações Unidas, o UnHate News tem uma proposta muito bacana: oferecer uma plataforma onde os usuários possam criar as manchetes que gostariam de ler, transformando as tradicionais notícias relacionadas à casos de intolerância e injustiça em mensagens positivas e de esperança.
A ideia é incentivar jovens do mundo inteiro, entre 18 e 30 anos, a mostrar seus pontos de vista sobre assuntos que consideram relevantes, transformando-os no tipo de notícias que gostariam de ler, ver e ouvir. Os interessados têm até o próximo dia 31 para enviar seu conteúdo, que será votado pela comunidade por meio do botão “curtir” do Facebook. A partir de abril, um júri irá avaliar os 100 conteúdos mais votados, selecionando 10 deles para associá-los a projetos sociais da UNHATE Foundation e do DIP da ONU.
À primeira vista, parece bastante utópico, mas a iniciativa é baseada no raciocínio de que, para se construir um mundo melhor, antes de mais nada é preciso imaginá-lo e descrevê-lo.
De qualquer maneira, vale dar uma olhada no material enviado ao site, alguns bastante divertidos, como o a selfie do presidente russo na Parada Gay. Mesmo algumas “notícias” estando muito longe da realidade, como o acesso à água limpa nos cantos mais remotos do mundo, ainda assim é um sopro de esperança.

BETC Paris, B-Reel Create ‘Names Not Numbers’ for Médecins du Monde
Posted in: UncategorizedEach year, 300,000 women die from pregnancy-related complications or unsafe abortions. To bring this statistic to life, production company B-Reel conceived and created “Names Not Numbers” for ad agency BETC Paris and Médecins du Monde (Doctors of the World), “a new experiential installation and digital experience” giving names to the women in the faceless statistic.
On International Women’s Day, March 8th, on a public street in Paris’ 3rd distict, B-Reel and BETC Paris unveiled their “Machine of Death” — “an artfully constructed and coldly methodical device that, each minute, cursively prints the given name of an actual woman who has died in childbirth or during an unsafe abortion.” After the name is printed, onlookers have 60 seconds to claim the card before it is dropped into a bin and lost forever. The cards include details on methods to help put an end to this tragedy on their flip side, and recipients are urged to sign the card and send it to local politicians or UN Secretary Ban Ki-Moon.
“This machine is a factory of death,” says Florence Bellisson, creative director at BETC, in a statement. “We are forced to confront this tragedy, live. It’s difficult to imagine that even today a woman’s right to choose what happens with her own body is not universal. This machine will become a weapon of salvation if every name it produces lands on the desk of someone who holds the key to change.”
The harrowing “Names Not Numbers” experience was captured in a digital short film (featured above), shot by B-Reel “at Stockholm’s Independent Studios and on location in Paris on March 8th.” Visitors to the “Names Not Numbers” website are given a minute following the film’s conclusion to retrieve, sign and send out their card through social media, in a digital recreation of the original experience. Claim your card now, and stick around for credits after the jump. continued…

Posted in: UncategorizedCritical Mass Questions LEAF Owners for Nissan
Posted in: UncategorizedCritical Mass has launched a new digital campaign for Nissan, called “Real Owners. Real Questions.” which celebrates the milestone of 100,000 LEAF electric vehicle sales, making it the best-selling electric vehicle ever.
For the campaign, Critical Mass calls on the LEAF community to share their experiences and stories with “custom and crowd-sourced videos, images and text responses” to answer common questions about Nissan’s electric vehicle. Critical Mass’ newly launched website for the brand displays questions like “Why did you choose to drive an electric car?” and “How far can you go on a single charge?” with a variety of answers from actual Nissan LEAF owners available at the click of a mouse (up to 31 answers per question at the moment). If visitors don’t find the question they’re looking for, they can ask Nissan in a livechat or a LEAF owner on Facebook. The revamped website features over 500 quotes, 200 images and video footage. In addition to crowdsourcing video footage, the site also showcases stories of LEAF drivers, like “Neal Wagner, who is shown using a journey to catch a sunrise on Maui’s Haleakala Volcano to charge his LEAF.” The site should clear up a lot of questions that might make people reluctant to make the leap to electric, all while celebrating the LEAF’s 100,000 owner milestone. Critical Mass, Nissan’s digital AOR, has handled digital work for LEAF starting with their award-winning campaign launching the brand back in 2010.

Twitter comemora seus 8 anos com um túnel do tempo para o seu primeiro tweet
Posted in: UncategorizedDesde o seu lançamento, em 2006, o Twitter mudou muito. Foram alterações visuais e até operacionais, com a chegada da @ para referenciar pessoas, a #hashtag para organizar assuntos e o RT, que hoje é um botãozinho automático que faz a retuitada por você.
E para comemorar seus 8 anos, o Twitter convida os tuiteiros a passearem por um túnel do tempo e conferirem qual foi o seu primeiro tuíte. Dá para conferir também qual foi a primeira interação feita por personalidades, publicações e amigos – basta digitar a @ deles no campo e, caso o perfil seja público, a tuitada aparece logo abaixo, permitindo que você até mesmo retuíte a mensagem.
Isso explica essa avalanche de #FirstTweet que você deve ter visto na sua timeline.
O divertido é ver que ninguém sabia muito o quê fazer com a sua primeira interação.
Era uma infinidade de gente avisando que está testando a ferramenta, contando algo do dia a dia ou simplesmente confessando que não sabe sobre o que falar. Outra coisa interessante é conferir a data da primeira tuitada, que provavelmente indica a data do cadastro também.
Um dos mais famosos primeiros tuítes é o feito por Jack Dorsey, um dos fundadores do Twitter.

Leo Burnett Creates Talking Bench for NCAA
Posted in: UncategorizedLeo Burnett and was produced company Prettybird/director Billy Rainey served as creative and production (in addition to media) for the NCAA’s new campaign promoting the importance of education to young athletes, called “2.3 or Take a Knee.”
The campaign introduces the new, stricter NCAA GPA requirements student athletes must meet in order to qualify for Division-I sports, “ensuring their brains are getting the workout they need” (or just driving up the cost of a term paper). To spread the word, and teach high school athletes about the importance of education, LB and Prettybird created a talking bench. 75 high school athletes were caught on eight hidden cameras receiving some tough love lectures from the talking bench, and some of their reactions are pretty funny. That their coaches don’t seem to have been in on the gag only adds to the humor. Whether the prank will translate to the teens taking away a lesson on the importance of academics, however, remains to be seen. See the talking bench in action for yourself in the 2:28 video above, and check out @talkingbench for the Twitter campaign.

Dollar Shave Club CEO Live-Streams Colonoscopy
Posted in: UncategorizedDollar Shave Club CEO Michael Dubin has a family history of colon cancer. So when his doctor recommended a colonoscopy, he decided he wanted to live-stream the procedure to help raise awareness about the importance of early screening.
It’s, well, not exactly riveting viewing, but that’s not the point. Mike has partnered with Colon Cancer Alliance, who have doctors standing by to answer any questions you might have about the procedure. You can tweet your questions with the hashtag #DSColon, and follow along for informative posts on colon cancer and the procedure. The stunt, by the way, is timed to coincide with Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death, so this is really an important cause. Hopefully Mike can raise awareness and get some guys to schedule an early screening. If you’d like to learn more about colon cancer and how getting a colonoscopy can help lead to an early diagnosis, head on over to the Colon Cancer Alliance website.

Wunderman Brazil Raises White Flag for São Paulo Soccer Federation
Posted in: UncategorizedWunderman Brazil has a new campaign for the São Paulo Soccer Federation, entitled, “Linesman for Peace,” which calls for peace amongst fans during the São Paulo State Championship.
The Campeonato Paulista, or Paulistão, is one of Brazil’s largest soccer tournaments, with fierce rivals like Corinthians, Palmeiras, Santos and São Paulo vying for the championship. This can cause soccer loving Brazilians fans’ extreme passion for the sport to escalate into violence in the stands (as it does in many soccer-loving countries around the world). So Wunderman Brazil had the São Paulo Soccer Federation (FPF) linesman’s yellow and red flags replaced with white flags to deliver a very simple but important message: “There is no offside for peace,” or “Please don’t try to kill each other.”
“Whenever the linesmen get involved in the game, either because someone is offside, a throw in, or a corner kick, etc., in any of the 158 games of the championship, the fans will remember that for peace there is no offside,” says Marco Polo Del Nero, FPF president.
Wunderman Brazil created a website complete with web film (featured above), as well as handling social media for FPF “to stimulate the fans’ engagement in the cause by posting messages on the signs and banners at the games.”
“There is no greater universal peace symbol than a white flag. And it will draw the fans’ attention because it’s the first time that linesmen have given up their customary yellow and red flags,” adds Paulo Sanna, creative VP at Wunderman.
Wunderman Brazil has found a clever way to reach fans who otherwise may be too riled up to listen to reason, and a novel way to deliver a very important message. It may be kind of sad that it needs to be said in the first place, but hopefully it will reach the right people and keep things peaceful during Campeonato Paulista. Stick around for credits after the jump. continued…

Proven Methods And Techniques To Build A Significant Fan Base At Facebook
Posted in: UncategorizedFacebook has turned out to be one of the most important methods for marketing and social marketing. There are well over half a billion registered users, and one half of them are active each day. With figures like that it is no surprise that businesses all over the world have become attracted to the network. Plenty of possibilities for reputation exist on Facebook but that does not imply that getting the results you want is easy to do. It is crucial that you carry out your campaigns effectively and that they consist of standard advertising and marketing approaches. In the following paragraphs we will talk about a number of the methods that have in fact worked for people within the Facebook system.
Facebook certainly has a hefty level of competition but that can be counteracted by the traffic levels your business will get. Do what you can to keep your Facebook page from being boring or average. You have to also take steps not to scare the people whom visit it. However you must stand-out and be completely unique within the bounds of exactly what your market will accept. Never use anything that is regular when it comes to your site design. The fact is, there is quite a cottage sector that has shown up for design work. This implies that it is worth your money and time to have something custom-made for you.
One important thing that Facebook does very well is to help you show different pages to several people. This makes it, usually for the first time, simple to find people who are already still interested in you. A simple change in settings will assist you to move people from different pages. Give your first-time visitors a chance to fan your page, and then you will see something different the very next time. It is very important for you to understand all of the materials and tools that you have at your disposal. When you do that, you will have more flexibility and power in your various campaigns.
Often it is easy to forget that the idea of Facebook is the social aspect of the network. This occurs a lot for internet marketers who are trying to accomplish a lot of assorted things during the day. This is sometimes a disastrous mistake to make if you use a social media portal. The point is that you have to show your fans that you will be there for them regularly. Not just that however it’s very important to show them that you would like to have social sorts of interactions with them. That means routine interaction as well as give to get with communications. The actual reason that you’ve got those fans is because they like you and/or your content.
React and act the way you, preferably, would do in actual life. This means that you need to acknowledge them, show your thanks and communicate gratitude to them when doing so is proper. You will be so surprised at how much people love to be recognized and valued. People are more prone to do business with you when they actually like you. You want to prove to your audience that you are genuine and not a robot (such bots are not the objective of Facebook).
Ways You Can Quickly Set-Up A Facebook Marketing Plan
Posted in: UncategorizedThe Facebook users is expanding at a steady rate and represents an incredibly large number of people. The numbers of real markets present at Facebook is also similarly staggering and is very thrilling for web businesses. Facebook is basically open for business all around the clock and each single day of the year. Now that promotion has been there for a while, people have grown comfortable to seeing them. All you need to do is put all that together, and you will see the reason it is so great for internet marketers. So that is some things about the ads, but needless to say that is not all that is offered at Facebook for marketing. There are truly huge opportunities concerning simple business networking that you can be engaged with.
Fan pages have been raging for well over a year, but we have the impression that not every marketer is choosing to make use of it. We’re contemplating about what may be done with business fan pages. If you have multiple sites in different markets, then naturally the smart thing is to build a fan page on its own account. You really do not want to expose all your businesses on one account. Fan pages are instruments for relationship marketing along with business marketing. In a very real manner you are branding your self with your fan page. That is exactly why relationship marketing really has to be provided its due when you are making use of fan pages.
As you work with your fan page, then skip right over the hoopla and other points that turn people off. It does appear to us that very many are no longer interested to see hype, and you can most likely do better without it. When you look at it, hype is not a required part of marketing. Unless of course you are an established name, then you could have a hard time building friendships based on hypey techniques. You will get much farther with people if you are just normal and not some super marketing man or woman with a lot of hypey material. Offer solid and useful information on your fan page and actively engage the people who take the time to visit. You can build something truly solid with that method. After that, hopefully they will tell others about you, and that is when things can get really very exciting.
Do something special for your fans as often as doable. Keep in mind this is all about them, and that is what excellent relationship marketing is all about from the standpoint of a marketer. It really is not very hard at all to locate discount sites with coupons you can inform your fans about. How about producing things like a faithful customer, or fan, card; even though it is digital it doesn’t matter. How about locating great Facebook apps you can tell them about. You could do fun things like run contests and have cool awards such as a special discount for something really nice. You want to develop a neighborhood feeling and get people to end up engaged. Be lively on your fan page and inspire people to return by merely giving them a good reason to do so.
HUSH Designs Web Experience for Aerin Fragrances
Posted in: UncategorizedBrooklyn-based design agency HUSH, who recently created the ambitious “Beauty of Night” for Estée Lauder, crafted an interactive web experience for lifestyle brand Aerin’s expansion into fragrances.
The website invites users to explore videos of the fragrances and the way each of the fragrances was sparked from Aerin Lauder‘s memories and experiences. The longest of these, at 1:30, is the above introduction to the fragrance line, explaining the importance of fragrances in Aerin’s life and exploring the evocative nature of scent and its ability to transport people in time and space. It’s a well-produced vignette that introduces both the line’s philosophy and the individual fragrances, even if it’s pretty much what you’d expect for a fragrance line. Other videos on the site briefly examine the individual fragrances and their ingredients.
More out of the ordinary is that site users can create their own packaging or monograms, using images of berries, flowers, and other fragrance ingredients, and share them on social media for a chance to win $3,500 worth of Aerin products.
“We took a simple and elegant approach to exploring the world of fragrance. It can be a science-heavy subject, but driven by artistry and craft – in the same way that wine and food are both art and science,” explains HUSH creative partner David Schwarz. “We were interested in the artistic, emotional story behind these creations and gave consumers the opportunity to engage on multiple levels.” Stay tuned for credits after the jump.

TED oferecerá conteúdos exclusivos para o aplicativo Paper, do Facebook
Posted in: UncategorizedEsqueça a história de interface amigável. Nesta semana, o app Paper será uma central de conteúdo exclusivo, ao menos na seção ‘Ideias’. Resultado de uma parceria entre o Facebook e o TED, conhecido por destacar ideias que valem a pena serem compartilhadas, o aplicativo exibirá durante toda esta semana postagens, fotos e apresentações vindas diretamente da edição deste ano da conferência, que acontece em Vancouver, no Canadá.
Um incentivo e tanto para acessar o Paper, que apesar do visual bacaninha, não andou retendo muitos usuários. Essa é a primeira iniciativa do Facebook para trazer conteúdos de terceiros para dentro do app, e caso a experiência seja bem sucedida, é provável que novas parcerias sejam feitas no futuro. “Durante toda esta semana, vamos permitir que as pessoas possam experimentar o que acontece no TED, mesmo que elas não estejam lá”, argumenta Michael Reckhow, gerente de produto do aplicativo.
A programação especial do TED na seção ‘Ideas’ do Paper vai até o dia 21.
