Harley-Davidson aposta no Chatroulette

Não é nenhuma novidade que as ferramentas da websocial tem garantido a atenção de muitas marcas pelo mundo a fora. São praticamente infinitos os argumentos do porquê anunciar em meios interativos e mídias sociais, que nem daria para listar neste post.

O sucesso de um anúncio, campanha ou ação, dentro de um ambiente social, não necessariamente digital, pode alcançar bons resultados graças ao nível de simplicidade e o satisfatório alinhamento do seu conceito.

Não é porque é “Big” que a idéia não pode ser simples.

Vejam o bom exemplo desta ação da Harley-Davidson no Chatroulette.

Harley-Davidson no Chatroulette

Harley Chatroulette

Eu encaro isso como “a primeira ideia”, mas que ganha destaque por utilizar a ferramenta do hype na internet.

A Harley-Davidson utilizou o Chatroulette para uma mensagem simples: a webcam mostrava uma placa dizendo: “Desculpe, estou na estrada”. Ou seja, um cara que não pode perder tempo com as “bobagens online”.

Pelo custo, praticamente zero, vale a pena. A criação é da agência alemã Sassenbach.

A Sombra do Cristo

Mais um seguidor do dogma KISS (keep it simple, stupid). Ação bacana, simples e, por isso mesmo, sensacional feita no Aeroporto De Carrasco em Montevidéo pela TAM.

Fighting the Status Quo in the Hispanic Matrix


By acknowledging that a large and growing swath of younger Latinos are consuming media in both English and Spanish we are not giving way to "assimilation to the general market" as some in the community would be quick to say. The reality is that today, one can be 100% Latino and 100% American at the same time. And that our identities are much more complex than how we are defined by simple demographics or language usage.
