Beauty Queens Intrigue — Offstage

MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Offstage, it's been a big year for beauty queens, with two — Carrie Prejean and Roxana Saberi — showing differing levels of poise, grace and congeniality under the glare of the public eye. But despite Prejean's tabloid turn and Saberi's case being covered on the front of more respected papers, there weren't any more eyes turned towards last night's "Miss Universe Pageant" on NBC, which according to Nielsen fast-affiliate ratings delivered the same rating and share — 2.0/6 — in the ad-centric adult 18-49 demographic as last year.

Mentos | Kama Sutra do Beijo

kamasutra.jpg

Enquanto a grande maioria das marcas tentam ignorar totalmente as mídias analógicas, algumas se apropriam de formatos e conceitos retro-inovadores para conseguir se destacar. A Mentos, por exemplo, fez uma brincadeira bem interessante. Está vendendo fitas VHS que contém uma vídeo-aula de um tal de “Kama Sutra do Beijo“.

Mas o uso de um produto análogo termina por aqui. A campanha, que serve para promover o novo Mentos Kiss, é toda baseada na internet, onde um hotsite fornece o vídeo completo em forma de enquete interativa. Dá para saber o quanto você já conhece, ou melhor, experimentou dos mais variados tipos de beijo, sugeridos pelo manual deles.

Os vídeos também podem ser vistos em uma página no Youtube. E você ainda pode adquirir este VHS pelo valor de R$3,50, aqui.
