Stop Lex Luthor

on November 22, 2006 by Martina Comments

In the US, they’re getting ready for Superman’s return on DVD, as you can tell from the Daily Planet website and from Lex Luthor’s page on Myspace. Apparently, Lex Luthor is set to come back with a massive take-over… he has declared that on November 28th, he will assume total control of the Web. The menace is real and definitely scary, but you can do something to stop his evil plan: find 12 tags around the Web, you will save the world and win $1,000,000. I’m not sure of the exact mechanism of the contests, but it looks like websites around the world are currently featuring some Lex Luthor content. Find them, and get the chance to win the big prize!

Richness and interactivity, these are the keywords to describe the online effort by Warner Bros, which has also decided to put some mobile content just too be cool (it’s not much, just wallpapers to download and SMS alerts). Warner Bros tries to keep advantage of an “enjoy & share” concept, giving young visitors the possibility to send to friends any piece of content on the site. In particular, as explained on ClickZ Electric Artists has created www.friendshipquiz.net, where users can create a quiz and send it to their friends in order to win prizes such as an iPod Shuffle. If you visit this site (the official one), you might also notice the Levi’s product placement in the homepage picture.

A shootout for Samsung

on April 8, 2005 by Martina Comments

Samsung is running a basketball advergame called the Shootout to engage users and give away Tv sets. If you’re interested, be sure to play today, since the contest will finish tonight. Since March 15th ads have been running, among the others, on The New York Times and Business Week. As usual, I cannot play because I can’t fill in a valid US Zip code
