Outdoor interativo para vender imóveis

mobdoor.jpg

Chamar a atenção de potenciais consumidores na visualmente poluída Times Square, em Nova Iorque, não é uma tarefa fácil. Uma das saídas é a utilização da interatividade como meio de entreter o público e assegurar a aproximação dos transeuntes. E é exatamente isso que a imobiliária Coldweell Banker está fazendo: Eles instalaram um outdoor interativo na avenida, que reage aos SMS(s) enviados pelas pessoas.

Basta enviar uma mensagem para um número pré-definido com a palavra “homes” e o código postal correspondente à área em que se pretende adquirir um imóvel, que em poucos minutos o painel exibe as casas e/ou os apartamentos disponíveis naquela região desejada. Assista aqui um vídeo que retrata a mecânica do outdoor interativo da Coldweell:

A novidade serve principalmente para facilitar a vida de quem está em busca de uma nova residência, tendo em vista que outras informações e uma lista mais extensa de propriedades são enviadas ao aparelho da pessoa que se interessou pela ferramenta interativa. Um passo à frente dado pela Coldweell Banker!

Summer Series Set Bronze Standard at Best


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — For the past few summers, NBC, Fox and ABC have tried to bill "America's Got Talent," "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Wipeout" as hot summer hits. And while all three are quite successful summer series, none looks like it would be overly successful in the fall or spring, up against first-run fare.

A secret anti-hangover remedy invented by KGB

The task was to launch a new anti-hangover pill with a very limited marketing budget in a very competitive Polish market. The agency decided to shock, provoke and create buzz about the new medicine which was called SpecTab.  A fictional story was created to provide the new brand with an engaging background. SpecTab was presented as a re-discovered drug of KGB, the Soviet secret police agency.  One day pedestrians in Warsaw were surprised with  a new statue being placed in the central square – a statue of Nikolay Wasiliewicz Onovalov, a Russian scientist, doctor and inventor of SpecTab.

This event created the word-of-mouth and resulted in massive media coverage. At the same time short black & white videos were placed on YouTube which depicted the experiments which Russians performed to prove the effectiveness of SpecTab.

A Wondrous Orb of Light, Warmth and Unconditional Love — Not!



Like many of you, I've had a big problem with the mainstream media's coverage of the defining story of the past two weeks. The cruel speculation, the invasive badgering of family members and friends, the unseemly fascination with autopsies and coffins and interments: Why, I ask you, can't or won't the media stop dwelling on the tragic deaths of those seven U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan? Fortunately, one brave soul refuses to go along with the herd.
