Watchmen is the Film to Watch

Watchmen 2009Though it was not feted that much during the Academy Awards, Watchment is slowly proving to one and all that it is the movie worth watching. Watchmen doesn’t open until Friday, but Fandango is already seeing strong advance ticket sales for the film, comprising 61% of all sales on Fandango, the nation’s leading moviegoer destination.

Advance tickets for director Zack Snyder’s Watchmen are far outpacing advance tickets sold for Snyder’s previous movie, 300, at the same point in that film’s sales cycle. Dozens of midnight Thursday night showtimes for the film are sold out on Fandango, from Albany, Georgia to Dublin, California.

As a bonus, moviegoers purchasing tickets for Watchmen or Watchmen: The IMAX Experience on Fandango will receive a free download of bonus content on iTunes, including the first chapter of Watchmen Motion Comics plus a sneak peek of Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter.

Go Orange for Animals

o_aspca-speak-4Join in the commemoration on the prevention of cruelty to animals with their new moniker, Go Orange for Animals. This April, the ASPCA(R) (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(R)) will once again commemorate Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month – an extremely important month for animals.

From its beginnings three years ago as a small grassroots adoption event in New York City, the ASPCA’s April celebrations have mushroomed into a nationwide celebration of the human-animal bond and the organization’s victories on behalf of animals.

The ASPCA will officially kick off the month on April 7 when iconic buildings and landmarks across the country such as the Empire State Building, Sears Tower and Niagara Falls will support the ASPCA’s life-saving work as they light up in its signature color and “Go Orange for Animals.”

Manequins da Old Navy ganham vida

oldnavy.jpg

Mulheres jovens e cheias de atitude estão na mira da nova campanha criada pela Crispin Porter + Bogusky para a Old Navy, uma das maiores lojas de departamento da América no Norte (EUA e Canadá).

Observando de primeira, a gente acaba achando ela meio “bizarra”. Sobre tanto, a campanha “The Supermodelquins” é um passo a frente no mundo do “marketing alternativo“.

Seu contexto é mostrar que os manequins das lojas Old Navy são, na verdade, celebridades dispostas a expor suas peças e acessórios. Tal ludicidade acaba gerando uma ligação emocional com as espectadoras.

O 1º vídeo que foi lançado pela campanha, fala um pouco da vida de cada um dos principais manequins. Reparem que cada um deles tem uma história de vida diferente.

Utilizando, basicamente, a internet e outras ferramentas virtuais para efetivar seus canais de comunicação, as “meninas” podem acompanhar o desenrolar da campanha através de um canal no Youtube, criado especialmente para ocasião.

O site oficial reporta as principais ofertas, seguindo a linha conceitual da campanha. É estendido por uma revista digital (semanal), em formato PDF, que trás as fotos de manequins com os últimos lançamentos e promos da Old Navy.

The Supermodelquins” é tão audaciosa, que consegue chegar ao ponto de se “auto-viralizar” por tamanha chance que tem de ser uma campanha que choque e surpreenda todas as consumidoras e entusiastas dos Estados Unidos. E olha que não são poucas :P
