Martin Scorsese dirige comercial para Chanel

Chanel Martin Scorsese

Na semana passada, a Gucci estreou seu comercial de perfume dirigido por Frank Miller. Tem aquele estilo todo e… OK. É isso.

A Chanel fez bem menos barulho com seu filme, também de perfume, dirigido por Martin Scorsese, e este está algumas escalas acima do rococó de Miller. Eu sei que é injusto comparar, mas são dois trabalhos de grife voltados para o mesmo segmento.

De qualquer forma, a primeira pergunta deve ser: de quem veio a ideia? Do diretor? De uma agência (que não é citada na ficha técnica)? O filme da Chanel tem um ideiazinha, da Gucci é só a estética.

Na trilha, “She Said Yeah” dos Rolling Stones.

Honda coloca CR-Z em Car Town, novo game social do Facebook

Facebook Honda Car Town

Utilizando um novo game social do Facebook, o Car Town, a Honda está promovendo seu modelo CR-Z com outdoor virtual e conteúdo especial para os jogadores.

Desenvolvido pela Cie Games, Car Town traz a mesma receita de jogabilidade dos populares social games da atualidade: o micro-manuseio e gerenciamento, mas aqui ao invés de fazenda ou algo que o valha, você personaliza e compra carros para a sua garagem virtual.

A parceria da Honda com Car Town vai durar dois meses, e além do outdoor clicável logo início da sessão do jogo, oferece também uma área patrocinada, em que os jogadores podem assistir conteúdo da marca e comprar um Honda CR-Z para a sua própria garagem virtual.

Além disso, a promoção da Honda interfere na jogabilidade, já que o CR-Z é o único veículo do game que permite cumprir certos desafios e ganhar pontos.

Car Town, lançado há menos de um mês, já conta com 3.5 milhões de usuários.
