A short history of marketing

“A short history of marketing”, a little video done by Michael Reissinger for Scholz & Friends

A day in the life of a vagina

Lactacyd makes products for intimate care and I don’t know for sure but I think that this video should be going viral in the next few days:

The final copy reads: “Your vagina is vulnerable, Lactacyd helps protect” (as i translated from Google Translate, but if you speak Dutch and it doesn’t say that please let me know to update!) via ViaComIT

Whopper Sacrifice

Is a free Whopper worth as to remove ten of your friends from Facebook? That is the new dilemma raised by Burger King called Whopper Sacrifice (thanks Ne and sorry Pit, i needed somebody just to test )

(Update / January 14th: The app, “shutdown” by Facebook)

Know the signs

Done by Unit9 and Ruby and based on the fact that some people turn into embarrassing characters when they drink too much, Heineken launched this experience site called “Know the signs” last December to recommend a moderate use of alcohol during Christmas.

Humanitarian Lions?

Hey! happy new year everybody! Not about interactive itself but i found this interesting: Do you think that there should be a category awarding the best practices to make this world a better place? Then maybe you’re interested in supporting this initiative called Humanitarian.

Jag Jeans

Mattt sent me this link a couple of weeks ago in which Jag Jeans creates a short but nice experience to promote their new denim line. Choose your favorite model and take pics while he/she wears the clothing (as in Sexy Subaru site). After that choose your better shots and make an album to resend a jeans catalog to your friends under the appearance of a photobook done by a famous photographer (you)… clever, i like it!

Screensavers Race

Last October, Intel Brazil created probably one of the the most original screensavers ever, take this video as an example of what is it about:

Then, you were sent to this site where you had available making one of your own for your office. Although the site doesn’t seem to be available anymore (or at least i can’t access) i found some buzz about this searching at Technorati or Gizmodo.

YouTube Doubler

Last summer my friends Pit and Efrain sent me a link describing a strange experiment from the group Pop Levi using videos from YouTube for their single “Semi Babe”.

You had to open both videos (each one of them featuring members of the group, one playing keyboards, the other one playing guitar and singing) in different browser windows and then resizing these to make both videos appear as one.

A nice Christmas card

I think when working in an agency everyone of us has faced that simple question that reads “what will we do for Christmas?”. Although the main solution in the latest times has been uploading your face to customize some kind of animation i feel a bit tired of it, as only a few pieces have really succeeded (the famous Elf Yourself as one of the main examples)

So a few days ago i heard about this nice campaign called “Christmas lights”developed by Scholz&Volkmer for Coke in Germany, in which you can use a mashup of Google Maps to zoom in until you find your friends’ houses.

Party time

If you enjoyed Barack Obama winning US elections or simply you enjoyed George W. Bush leaving being the President of the United States then you’ll maybe like this site created by the people at Shackleton called “Bush ByeBye Party”.

Simple and funny, it consists on what to do to celebrate this special farewell: an earth map to add your party, downloadable goodies for the parties (some of them hilarious, as for instance, Obama masks), a safe kit for the day after and some other stuff. It has been set 67 farewell parties so far, if you think you want to do it too don’t miss this site, it’s worth a while
