Branded Services

Apostar em serviços é outra grande tendência do mercado.

Aliás, o Trendwatching deste mês é intitulado: “Brand Butlers, why serving is the new selling“. Vale conferir!

E, nessa onda, as redes sociais desenvolvidas pela própria marca, também são consideradas eficazes para transparecer o relacionamento com os consumidores, pois quebram barreiras e estabelecem uma comunicação muito mais despretensiosa.

Nas últimas semanas, foi criado pela Ínsula, agência de ativação, promoção e marketing direto e digital, uma rede social para que apaixonados por automóveis possam acessar conteúdos exclusivos, serviços, aplicativos e ferramentas para fomentar a relação e a troca de informações entre si.

Assinado pela Bradesco Auto/RE Companhia de Seguros, a rede social também concede uma promo: Quem se cadastrar até o dia 28 de abril, concorre a um Renault Sandero Stepway zero quilômetro.

Outro diferencial é a novidade que permite ao proprietário calcular qual o tipo de combustível sai mais em conta no momento de abastecer. Para isso basta o usuário inserir no sistema algumas informações sobre o desempenho do seu carro.

Os usuários também encontram um Localizador de Oficinas referenciadas Bradesco Auto, uma Revista online com conteúdo inédito sobre o universo automotivo e o Auto Shopping que traz ofertas de acessórios exclusivas para os usuários do portal (www.seuauto.com.br).

Is This the Golden Age for Small Agencies?

Smart large enterprises are waking up to the reality that great work comes in all sizes of ad agencies. And they are structuring themselves in a way that they can tap a large agency for a specific scope of work, and a handful of smaller shops for a specialty scope.

Protótipo da Renault no The Sims 3

renaultsims.jpg

A Renault criou uma curiosa parceria com a Electronic Arts para promover o seu carro-conceito Twizy Z.E. no novo The Sims 3. O carrinho, que esteve presente no último Salão de Frankfurt, em setembro passado, pode ser baixado gratuitamente.

O Twizy vem com um pacote (Electric Vehicle Pack), que inclui também outros itens ligados à sustentabilidade, como painéis solares e cata-ventos, para captar energia eólica. O uso dos itens irá repercutir positivamente na vida virtual dos jogadores, que economizarão em contas.

Para tornar o público eco-consciente desde cedo, nada melhor do que utilizar os ambientes onde se encontram crianças e jovens, para comunicar, mesmo que sutilmente, sobre a importância dos novos hábitos.

Why It’s Time to Hit the Reset Button on Trust


We need a new conversation on "trust." Radical new models are unfolding before our eyes — from social commerce to one-click mobile ratings and reviews to trust-incubating "Service 2.0." The pace of change and disruptions begs a new dialogue and a new wave of thinking about we nurture trust and the credibility our conversations, platforms and models.

E-Commerce no Facebook?

easyjetplanner.jpg

Por que não? Ou melhor: Por que não pensaram nisso antes, hein?!

Se as mídias sociais agregam valor por aproximar a marca de pessoas ávidas em consumir e se relacionar com o que lhes interessa, fica claro que estes meios podem beneficiar ainda mais quando começam a oferecer novos tipos de serviços, como é o caso do e-commerce.

Não me lembro de ver alguém se aproveitar de uma estratégia de e-commerce dentro do Facebook, antes de ler sobre este novo projeto online da EasyJet.

A companhia aérea low cost lançou o Holiday Planner, um aplicativo que permite aos fãs planejar as férias com seus amigos, definindo nome, destino, duração e muitas outras opções para organizar e “personalizar” a viagem.

easyjetfb.jpg

Mas o mais interessante mesmo fica por conta da inclusão de uma ferramenta de e-commerce. Ou seja, o usuário será capaz de reservar vôos diretamente do aplicativo, sem precisar entrar no site da EasyJet.

Se podemos incluir qualquer tipo de informação e conteúdo em uma rede social, pra que vão servir os tradicionais sites corporativos?
