Volkswagen Polo: Polowers

The Volkswagen Polo is one of the most desired car models for young people. In order to foster engagement amongst the digital native target, DDB developed a strategy in social networks aimed to convert the brand in the first topic of conversation on Twitter for a day. The focus of the action was the creation of the hashtag #Polowers, to give a name the followers of the VW Polo in the network. And the reason for the meeting was the celebration of the 1st Polowers Race on Twitter. In terms of results, the campaign generated more than 150,000 tweets 8 hours after launching, at a rate of 5 tweets per second. And it did so on more than 10% of Twitter´s total audience in Spain, in addition to leading the Top 10 trending topics. Also, the game generated a vast amount of visits to Polo´s product section on www.volkswagen.es, reaching a record of its history.

nossa.pt: Cash for Gold

Eurobest, the most important European advertising festival, is over. This year’s edition took place in Lisbon, and Nossa created this guerilla action outside the festival’s door, as a way to generate awareness and promote the website, considered one of the world’s most inspiring agency websites. Within this context of crisis, of which advertising agencies are also victims, Nossa decided to support those who didn’t submit any work.

The poster says: If you haven’t submitted anything to Eurobest, don’t let this small detail screw up the festival. Take advantage of the crisis and buy a statuette. After all, nobody is gonna know how you got it. Stick this flyer in your t-shirt and good luck.

Flyers were handled and encouraged people to stick the message to their clothes.

Santec Video Security: The Check-in Thief

santec

A lot of people use social media to tell their friends and followers where they are. The risk of that: If you tell the people where you are, you also tell them where you are not: at your home. Therefore thieves have a good chance to know when to break in. So we have created for Santec Security Systems a thief called Igor Pavic,who obviously checked where celebrities are right now and then he pretended to rob their home. All he left was a nice little thank-you message on the fan-facebooksite of the celebrity and a link to his own microsite, where he posted a picture of himself in front of the celebrities home. In this microsite we also made clear, that with Santec Security Cameras your home would have been safe, even when you are not there.

The goal was to show the advantages of Santec Security Systems in a surprising and entertaining way. The strategy was to show, how risky new media such as Facebook or Twitter can be, and that Santec Security Systems are always the best solution for the households.

AECC (Spanish Association against Cancer): Legal Text

road ipad

“Texts like this go unnoticed every day. They are there, but you do not see them. They are present, but you ignore them. They can be of vital importance; however, you do not give them the attention they deserve. Breast cancer can also go unnoticed if you do not pay close enough attention. Unnoticed, a tiny lump can develop, grow and result in breast cancer. So in the fight against this cancer, preventive action must be taken through self-examination and, especially, periodic checkups to take care of any problems promptly and effectively. On 19 October, International Breast Cancer Day, go pink and help us in the fight to end this cancer that today affects so many people. Just enter www.aecc.es, call 900 100 036 or put this text as the signature in all your emails. Together we can join forces to fight breast cancer harder than ever.
Before closing this email think of all we can achieve with your help. Fighting breast cancer is everyone’s business.”

As a self-promotional campaign, the agency has decided to donate the legal text portion of all our emails to the Spanish Association against Cancer to help fight breast cancer.

Instagram, enfim, lança interface web para os perfis de usuários

Desde que o Instagram foi criado, uma das maiores requisições dos usuários era uma interface web. Até hoje, os perfis e imagens eram “presos” ao aplicativo, acessíveis apenas com serviços de terceiros. É verdade que cada foto tem seu permalink, mas o próprio site do Instagram não centralizava os posts.

Há poucos minutos, a popular rede social fotográfica revelou os perfis na web, contendo biografia, avatar, e um painel com as imagens compartilhadas pelo usuário através do app. É possível também seguir, comentar e dar like em fotos, além de editar o perfil diretamente no site.

A publicação de fotos continuará exclusiva via aplicativo mobile

A nova função será liberada aos poucos nos próximos dias. Se o seu perfil ainda não estiver no novo formato, confira alguns exemplos listados pelo próprio Instagram: @nike, @cucinadigitale, @mycookingdiary e @palomaparrot.

Se o seu perfil for privado, ele também terá esse novo layout, mas as fotos não serão exibidas publicamente. E o Instagram reforça: Não será possível fazer upload de imagens via web, apenas através do aplicativo.

IKEA: Catalogue Launch Campaign

The IKEA catalogue is not just any other catalogue. Launched every year and distributed to almost every home in the world, it is one book that doesn’t need any introduction. When IKEA tasked Leo Burnett with launching their 2013 IKEA catalogue in Singapore and Malaysia, the problem was simple. How do you make people excited for something they know they get every year anyway? Our solution: Building anticipation to the arrival of the catalogue in the mailbox via a uniquely IKEA countdown.

Microsoft Hotmail: Spammers’ Aid

Our mission was to communicate the message that Hotmail now stops 97% of all spam to Swedish tech-influencers. Instead of just boosting out the message we decided to take a somewhat different approach. As the Hotmail spam filter now is so effective it can actually put spammers out of business we decided to try and help them get legal jobs and launched Spammers’ Aid. The campaign consisted of a website and an online video invitation for spammers to an “open house” seminar at Microsoft’s Swedish head offices. At the seminar we had representatives, from Microsoft and a recruiter from the IT-sector, talk about ways for spammers to use their programming and online marketing skills to do something good instead of more spamming. No spammers showed up but the seminar was broadcasted live online where 27 people followed it, anonymously, and Sweden’s largest IT- blog reported live from the event. The product manager for Hotmail in Sweden was interviewed by both national and international media and the core message impact was at 73 % within the target group.
