The game takes drivers to some of the world’s most famous landmarks such as Mount Rushmore, the Pyramids or the Great Wall of China. The challenge is not only to drive through as fast as you can, but also to take pictures of the landmark you’re visiting during the driving stage.

A soup, a snowboard and a mobile phone

Virtu Mobile and Campbell Soup have launched “Soup at Hand 3D Snowboarding”, a mobile game which apparently should help the food brand getting in touch with young adults. In the press release it is explained that this is a demographic group that does not typically make buying decisions based on traditional media like newspapers, TV and radio. This is surely true. I don’t know if this kind of promotion is going to work for Campbell, but it’s good to see a well-known brand investing in mobile marketing. It is a step in the right direction. Next, we want to see integration of the mobile effort with other communication channels. It’s the surround sound marketing I always love to hear of. To download the Soup At Hand 3D Snowboarding game or for more information about the game, visit www.sah-mobile.com.
