McDonalds: Free Coffee Pole, Bus shelter

mcdonalds-free-coffee-bus-shelter1

As part of a national campaign promoting McDonald’s restaurants, a downtown Vancouver lamppost became part of an out-of-home (OOH) optical illusion, appearing to pour coffee into a giant cup on the sidewalk.
At the time, McDonald’s was giving away free small cups of its brew for a two-week period, in an effort to attract new breakfast customers. Ad firm Cossette’s Vancouver office developed the concept for a lamppost near 6th Avenue and Cambie Street. The post was wrapped in brown vinyl to resemble poured coffee, while an oversized carafe was attached to the end.
Elsewhere in the city, a transit shelter was turned into an ‘hourglass,’ with an ever-diminishing number of coffee beans reminding customers of the promotion’s short-term nature.

Microsoft e Harmonix leiloam edição Beatles do Xbox 360 por 17 mil dólares

Rock Band Beatles ebay auction

Se você é um beatlemaníaco com dinheiro sobrando, talvez se interesse pelo leilão que a Microsoft e a Hamonix estão fazendo no eBay. Uma edição especial e limitada do Xbox 360, customizada com a arte do “The Beatles: Rock Band”, começou a ser leiloada por US$ 780. Nada muito absurdo, certo? Apesar de um Xbox padrão custar na faixa de US$ 199 a US$ 249.

Acontece que menos de dois dias depois de iniciados os lances, o console especial já está valendo US$ 17.100. Serão apenas 50 unidades disponíveis, numeradas, e essa do eBay é a número 1. O leilão termina na próxima quinta-feira, dia 17.

A ação, criada em busca de mais mídia espontânea para o lançamento do game “The Beatles: Rock Band”, também tem tom beneficente. A renda será revertida para a ONG Médicos Sem Fronteiras.

Conversando com o Zannin aqui na Brain#9 Corp., beatlemaníaco fanático (redundância, eu sei), ele disse que por 17 mil dólares só se fosse pra jogar videogame junto com o Paul McCartney, e ainda ganhar dele.
