NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Joanne Bradford, the newly minted chief revenue officer for Demand Media, seems to be drawn to seemingly insurmountable challenges.

What a Toddler Can Tell You About the Future of Media


At the ripe old age of 18 months, my son Carson is already a veteran iPhone and, now, iPad user. Having watched him control his exploration of media for nearly six months, I'm now convinced that there is no future for passive video consumption on any device — at least not once marketers become interested in him.

Nenhuma notícia nova nas séries de TV

Ou todas as séries de TV acontecem no mesmo dia – ainda que se passem na década de 1970 – ou alguém está querendo economizar na produção. E o melhor: são de emissoras diferentes.

Não consegui reconhecer todos os programas, mas isso pouco importa nessa imagem esclarecedora.

Kaiak: Scented Banner

Challenge
“Kaiak” is the best-selling men’s fragrance in Brazil. Working-class men are its target market. It is sold door-to-door exclusively. The client wanted to make an online campaign to announce that the product had changed — but not much more than that. We couldn’t show the new fragrance on the internet … Unless we could find a way to put the scent on the banner! And that is what we did!

Solution
First we made an agreement with more than 15 Internet cafés, which are used mostly by young working men who do not have computers in their homes. Then we created a plug-in that inserted the banner on the Internet cafés’ internet start page. The banner read “The best selling men’s fragrance in the country just changed. Want to try it? Click this banner. It’s scented.” After the click the banner went out of the computer screen at the same time a custom hardware developed by us, ejected a paper version of the banner with the scent sample.

Results
The scented banner had a click-through rate of 17.2% — That is 43 times higher than the global average. 10,000 scented banners were distributed in just one weekend.
