Ikea Space Maker

ikeaspacemaker.jpg

O que acontece com uma marca que não cria uma comunidade virtual para os seus fãs? Das duas uma: ou eles próprios (fãs) irão desenvolver algo sozinhos, ou a marca vai perder gradativamente a presença entre seus consumidores, principalmente os mais jovens (ávidos por consumir e se relacionar através de ferramentas online e colaborativas).

A Ikea, por exemplo, apesar de não ignorar este tipo de “movimento social”, foi surpreendida quando descobriu que haviam desenvolvido o blog/comunidade IkeaFans, sem ao menos eles (Ikea) aprovarem ou moderarem alguma coisa. No final da história, a empresa se tornou mais do que uma simples parceira da comunidade criada pelos seus fãs. Hoje ela respeita e, inclusive, acompanha tudo aquilo que escrevem no blog (http://www.ikeafans.com). Existem outros casos semelhantes, mas não vem ao caso no momento. O que eu quero mesmo é mostrar para vocês só mais uma nova ferramenta virtual que a Ikea, mestre no quesito empatia com os novos consumidores, acabou de lançar nos States.

Estou falando do Ikea Space Maker, um projeto que busca facilitar a vida daqueles que estão voltando às aulas e precisam montar seu pequeno quarto, provavelmente porque vão morar sozinhos em alguma outra cidade ou mais próximos da universidade.

O Space Maker nada mais é do que um planejador de dormitórios online. Ele oferece uma grande quantidade de produtos, móveis e pequenos utensílios para a pessoa decorar o seu próprio dormitório. Se você apresentar o projeto para Ikea e eles gostarem, você poderá ganhar bons descontos na loja física. Uma boa idéia, não?

Are You Ready for a Flash-Free Future?


Regardless of how fast our internet connections get, it still seems that we're perpetually waiting for our digital media — websites, videos, pictures, music — to load. It's a twisted feedback loop: faster broadband begets bigger and bigger file sizes. All of which makes accessing that Flash-heavy product microsite a perpetual exercise in patience. It wasn't supposed to work out this way.

Be Brave and Bet Big


Sometimes recruiters don't care where you come from; they care where you stay too long. Whether working for two years or 20, we all get stuck in ruts. It takes effort to be brave, stretch your backbone and show that you're not afraid to take on something new, but it's crucial. Bravery is especially important for the young — if we don't have the guts to do something brazen when the slate is still clean, when will we?

Adidas Super7

Adidas Super7

A Adidas reuniu sete de seus atletas patrocinados para criar uma nova campanha. Os medalhistas e campeões olímpicos Christine Ohuruogu, Allyson Felix, Tyson Gay, Jeremy Wariner, Veronica Campbell, Haile Gebrselassie e Blanka Vlaši? formam o Super7.

A proposta é trazer os impressionantes números e recordes obtidos pelos atletas para o mundo real, com analogias do cotidiano. Um exemplo: uma bola de boliche demora, em média, 3 segundos para atingir os pinos. Veronica Campbell faz o mesmo em 2 segundos. Para ser um dos homens mais rápidos do planeta, Tyson Gay corre 100 metros, e respira apenas duas vezes.

A criação é da RIOT (180\TBWA\Critical Mass), com produção da Databass. Abaixo você assiste todos os filmes da campanha, na sequência.

And Then There’s This Article: 7 Truths About Viral Culture


There's something a little heartbreaking about the very existence of "And Then There's This: How Stories Live and Die in Viral Culture," by Bill Wasik. After all, it's a meditation on living, breathing virality that resides between the hard, dead covers of a book. For this latest installment of Dumenco's Media People — an ongoing series of conversations with media grandees — I took Bill Wasik out for tea recently in New York City, near the headquarters of Harper's Magazine, where he's a senior editor, to attempt some … interactivity with the living, breathing social-media observer and mischief maker.
