Projeção de “Watchmen” no Rio Tâmisa em Londres

A Warner Bros. e a Paramount executaram ontem a noite a última parte da campanha de divulgação de “Watchmen”, filme baseado na HQ de Alan Moore e que estréia mundialmente nesta sexta, dia 6.

No Rio Tâmisa em Londres, projetaram o Dr. Manhattan, um dos heróis da história, com mais de 30 metros de altura. Utilizando o maior projetor de água já fabricado, exibiram também o emblema do Comediante e trechos do filme.

O resultado é: uma das notícias mais comentadas hoje na internet, desde gente que se impressionou até quem diga que foi perda de tempo, já que os estúdios convocaram dias antes para uma surpresa nas margens do rio. De qualquer maneira, o barulho foi feito. Outras ações para “Watchmen” aqui no Brain#9.

Gwyneth’s Inner Musings Make Dobrow Very Afraid


My initial thought about Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop and WowOwow, brought to us by media mademoiselles such as Liz Smith, Peggy Noonan and Lesley Stahl, and was that stranger celebrity projects have been birthed on the web. So maybe Gwyneth Paltrow's bath-salt recommendations or the media gals' musings on the sociocultural implications of Michelle Obama's sleevelessness might command some attention. And they do, for different reasons.

Começou, nesta quinta feira (5 de março 2009) o 79º Salão do Automóvel de Genebra, na Suiça.

Dias antes, a Volkswagen preparou uma novidade para atrair ainda mais as pessoas interessadas em comprar o novo modelo do Polo, que será lançado neste evento.

Trata-se de um game 3D para iPhone e iPod Touch.

Este é o Volkswagen Polo Challenge, onde os jogadores podem testar a sua condução ao longo de 8 corridas e dois tipos de terreno diferentes, sendo possível jogá-lo apenas com o toque na tela.

O melhor de tudo é que a VW vai disponibilizá-lo gratuitamente na App Store, este mês, para qualquer pessoa.

Desenvolvido pela FishLabs, de Hamburgo, Alemanha, o game é a ferramenta de comunicação que mais se aproxima dos consumidores, levando em conta o sucesso que o gadget anda fazendo no velho mundo. Abaixo, o vídeo que demonstra o mecanismo do jogo:

Visa | Go

A Visa entra de vez na era do slogan “Go” com a sua nova campanha institucional, criada pela TBWA/Chiat/Day.

O filme principal, de 1 minuto, é quase que um “Wear Sunscreen” dos cartões de crédito, falando das experiências e emoções que as pessoas devem e podem viver. Obviamente, nada que um dinheirinho não pague.

Visa Go

Um dos comerciais derivados dessa peça é “Aquarium”, também convidando seus clientes a explorarem a vida. A campanha estréia a assinatura “More people go with Visa”, tudo com narração de Morgan Freeman.

Tudo bem esquemático e dentro do mesmo papo que as operadoras de cartão de crédito já trabalham há anos. A produção é da foreignfilms.
