Nude in a scarf!!!

London was full of naked people with a blue scarfs last days:



This is the funny guerrilla activity made for the launch of the brand new Peugeot’s 308 CC {coupe cabriolet}

If you go here, you find in the header this text: "It is time to lose your inhibitions and lose the scarf. Try the Airwave Neck Heating System in Peugeot's brand spanking new 308 cc. It is the only thing you need to wear this season - and every other season!"

Very cool!

Usually in this kind of competition you can win a limited edition Cd, a t-shirt, at least a free pass for one big concert of the band, but in this case you can win an original Damien Hirst's artwork worth £125.000.

The contest is very well done and funny, so If you are interested click here.

Neglected Children are made to feel invisible

There are some ambient marketing campaigns that are masterpieces. This one is one of them:



It is made by Australian Childhood Foundation for their campaign Stop Child Abuse Now



As you can see the bill poster has only a simple sentence on and hides a mannequin child.

If the mannequin is removed there is the text “Thank you for seeing me” below.




This is art.

Say thank you to JWT Melbourne for this idea :)

Jägermeister + Triumph = poster interaction


When I see this kind of marketing activities I am always happy.

In fact Bark, an agency from Copenhagen, used a traditional media in a new mode.
In this way the message is viewed not only by the people in that street but also by people on the web.

Great idea!

The RampenFest


No doubts: this is a strange way to promote a car!

BMW, probably tired by viral videos, have made a mockumentary about the Rampenfest, a small festival in a small German village.

Great idea (even if it could seem a very-long-viral-video)

Having fun with YouTube



When we came to the office today Anna was already making jokes as it is today the first of April.

A view minutes later we found out that we were not the only one making jokes.

YouTube is also in a funny mood.

The lay-out of one of their website pages is completely upside-down. For tips to improve this new viewing experience, take a look here.

The post of sighs

Oliviero Toscani is a genius... no sorry, he was a genius.
His last work is "Il cielo dei sospiri" (The sky of sighs).

Look: he build a big billboard around the Bridge of Sighs in Venice.



The effect is, of course, a lot of chatting on blogs and newspapers (so one point to Toscani) but according to me this is a wrong way to create buzz. So I don't quote the brand.
