Mc Donald’s digital billboards: Catch a “product” with your mobile phone & redeem the picture for a free sundae/coffee/pie! Very innovative and definitely interactive, but I’m wondering: won’t people just use the same photograph over and over again at different branches then?
At the Facebook F8 conference yesterday, Levi’s announced the introduction of a new way to shop. Everything is explained in the video, click Levis.com to start social shopping! I can’t seem to find it on the EU Levi’s site, so I’m guessing so far it’s only available on the USA site. Absolutely brilliant and definitely forward thinking, Levi’s is definitely pioneering a new trend- I’d bet my last dollar e-tailers all over are going to be hot in the heels.
I’m personally a fan of Macy’s new “Fashion Directors” campaign. This Spring, Macy’s sent its top designers to perform style interventions across America. My favourite of the collection features Martha Stewart is giving a make over to a fraternity. Fun fact on the side: Sear’s is none too amused with Martha Stewart, having stood by her through her jail term and continuing to sell her apparently flimsy product range. Other big names in the Macy’s campaign include money mogul Donald Trump and fashion consultant Clinton Kelly, both TV stars in their own rights. Personally, the videos still seem a bit scripted, but overall I think it’s cute & fun & pulled rather well.
I was shopping at Carnaby Street one day when the window display at Diesel caught my eye. I took a photo of it, and then forgot all about it till I saw it again at Covent Garden, got really intrigued and came home to google it.
“Like balloons we are filled with hopes and dreams. But over time a single sentence creeps into our lives. Don’t be stupid. It’s the crusher of possibility. It’s the world’s greatest deflator. The world is full od smart people. Doing all kinds of smart things. That’s Smart.
Well, we’re with stupid. Stupid is the relentless pursuit of a regret free life. Smart may have the brains, but stupid has the balls. The smart might recognize things for how they are. The stupid see things for how they could be. Smart critiques. Stupid creates. The fact is if we didnt have stupid thoughts wed have no interesting thoughts at all. Smart may have the plan, but stupid has the stories. Smart may have the authority but stupid has one hell of a hangover. Its not smart to take risks, its stupid. To be stupid is to be brave. The stupid isnt afraid to fail. The stupid know there are worse things than failure, like not even trying. Smart had one good idea, and that idea was stupid. You can’t outsmart stupid. So don’t even try. Remember only stupid can be truly brilliant.”
It’s absolutely witty and inspired! Diesel recognizes that consumers today want and need so more, not just an advertisement telling them what they want or what to buy. This goes against the norms and offers something fresh. Along with the myriad of beautifully designed print ads, Diesel rolled out this campaign with a competition looking for 100 creative individuals with “stupid” acts to be featured in a campaign music video. My favourite campaign in a long time, and if I were you I’d click HERE to see more. BE STUPID!!!!
Burger King emphasizes “your burger your way” by personalizing whopper wrappers with your face on the spot. Conceptualized by Ogilvy Brazil. Watch the video to see more. I think it’s kind of cute and pretty innovative, but it’s definitely only got the short-run appeal.
