Acho que desde 2004 ou 2005, não sei bem ao certo, as empresas de internet começaram a valorizar a máxima importância do usuário como ativo colaborador, criador e gerador de idéias e conteúdos para construir a história da rede. Pouco tempo depois, outras empresas – agora não mais de internet – também passaram a valorizar o usuário, consumidor da ‘geração (internet) content‘.
Anos se passaram e, ao invés de diluir, as marcas continuam incentivando e levantando a bandeira de seus consumidores (ou usuários) mais engajados. A última campanha do Yahoo! é assim. Foram mais de 100 milhões de dólares gastos na nova campanha institucional do Y!, o que pode não parecer tão estrondoso, para uma empresa de essência 100% online, esta quantia é pra lá de elevada. Dentre as ações de marketing: mídia impressa, exterior, internet e televisão. Há tempos não via uma campanha de internet tão sólida numa televisão.
Ok, a campanha ainda não chegou por aqui, mas dá pra sentir um gostinho dela assistindo o comercial de televisão que já começou a ser veiculado nos Estados Unidos. A criação da Ogilvy & Mather enfatiza o poder do Y!ou: “Há um novo governante do universo digital: você”. Vale o play!
O talento musical do Black Eyed Peas já chamou a atenção de Barack Obama, Oprah e T-Mobile. Quem agora também se simpatizou com o grupo musical é a Virgin, holding do multimilionário e ambicioso empresário americano, Richard Branson. Através da companhia aérea V Australia, o plano é bater dois recordes: o maior concerto ao vivo já realizado num avião e a gravação de uma música a cerca de 10 mil metros de altura. O bilhete para o evento só estará disponível no eBay. Isso quer dizer que, ganha ingresso para o evento aéreo aquele que oferecer a quantia mais alta. Por enquanto, a quantia mais elevada foi de U$1.025,00. A renda do leilão virtual será revertida a favor da Telethon Institute for Child Health Research, informou o Wefind.
O que a Virgin e o Black Eyed Peas vão ganhar? Muita visibilidade, mídia espontânea e, quem sabe, um lugarzinho no Guinnes Book. Tá de bom tamanho, não é mesmo?!
