OH GREAT - THE ECONOMIST

Maanantai 10.11.08 kello 18:00

The current "The Economist" spoof cover running through the blogosphere shows how simple and effective viral communication can be. Although it is not the real cover it describes precisely what happened in the last year, where the finance crises has proved international stock markets to be global online casinos. It might be that this spoof cover will be seen much more often than the real cover, and actually it doesn't matter if it was done by a private person or marketers. Let go - brands are shaped and build as well by consumers nowadays.

EFFIE TIME

Maanantai 10.11.08 kello 17:59

Some words about the Finnish Effie competition 2008. Positive was that we were on the shortlist and won an Effie with our client BMW. Thanks for that, Jury and BMW customers. However, judging the quality of the works at Effie is quite difficult for an outsider, as the cases are very complex. Interesting as well that some agencies in Finland favor the creative competitions and other agencies are focusing on the results. No need to open the discussion about sense and nonsense of the one or another competition at this point. They all belong to the business. So let's see how the award season continues with upcoming adprofit, and let's hope for a good Eurobest in Stockholm.

Amerikan Plup!

Maanantai 10.11.08 kello 17:58

Plup ploppasi mutta kuinka käy ison veden takana? Amerikkalaisetkin ovat ymmärtäneet veden olevan terveellistä ja hyvää. Mutta voiko vesipullosta tulla muodikas, mukana kannettava esine IPodin tyyliin. Jenkkimeininki menee tietysti överiksi, vesipullosta tulee ”personal hydration vessel”. Itse taidan juoda kraanasta jatkossakin.

Tärinää tärykalvoille

Maanantai 10.11.08 kello 17:55

Nyt pärähti niin vahva ideakateus ettei pitkään aikaan. Mitä jos tien reunuksen tärinäraidat soittaisivat biisin sen paikkoja hampaista irrottavan jyrinän sijaan? Sehän kuulosta kivalta ja mikä hienointa näin myös tehtiin Honda Civicin nimissä. Sopii aika upeasti Hondan Power of Dreams –konseptiin.

Tosin tarinaan liittyy surullinen loppu. Asukkaat valittivat ja musa asfaltoitiin kuoliaaksi. Typerykset.

Uncharted Advertising Possibilities in Finland

Maanantai 10.11.08 kello 10:43

A King should always be on the lookout for new territories to conquer and leverage.

Hence, we turn our gaze into the very Eastern and Western parts of the globe to notice this wonderful piece of ambient media. An already common sight especially in Japan's subways is the use of multiple line up of billboards, which combined to moving speed and train carriage's windows, creates the illusion of moving image. The use of Subway tunnel billboards has also begun to spread into Western hemisphere, noticeably taking over the tunnels of major US cities. However though, an advertising form yet to be seen in Finland, where we would have great opportunities of leveraging those long, dull and dark metro tunnels for a more noticeable and surprising form of marketing and travel entertainment.

Ingenious indeed to combine outdoor elements, optical illusion and speed to manipulate your surroundings into a creative solution for surprising opportunities of future marketing. Very Blade Runner-ish though!
