JetBlue Tails, um novo projeto colaborativo

jetbluecontest.jpg

Ao que parece, o “colaborativismo” é uma das palavras-chave da Jet Blue.

Há uns dois anos, a companhia aérea chegou assombrando todos os players brasileiros da categoria, lançando uma campanha capciosa que pedia a colaboração dos internautas para escolherem o nome regional da JetBlue. O nome Azul Linhas Aéreas foi selecionado após o concurso de 30 dias no qual 157.528 pessoas votaram através da internet.

Não precisou de muito tempo para a JetBlue norte-americana também apostar na opinião dos consumidores e dos internautas participativos.

A companhia aérea, que está celebrando seu 10º aniversário, criou um concurso para a concepção da nova cauda de uma de suas aeronaves. Cinco desenhos finalistas, criados por membros da tribulação da JetBlue, podem ser vistos e votados por qualquer internauta, pelo site (www.jetbluetails.com).

O resultado sairá em 11 de fevereiro, o dia exato da comemoração dos 10 anos da empresa.

Happy Holidays From Adages


This funny video combines the high-concept of Dove's "Evolution" work with the super-trashy concept of this winter's best TV show, MTV's "Jersey Shore." It's almost like a holiday card of bad taste and hilarity.
