The Piano Stairs

Make something fun, make a game of it and more people will do it. No surprises there then. What is a surprise is that this video and The Fun Theory (the site is in Swedish) is done by Volkswagen

Definitely non-typical car marketing, but I love it. The sense of whimsey surrounding the [...]

Prototype Experience

I’ve finally caught up with the Prototype Experience, a promo for a new console game that has been exciting so many marketers on the blogs. It looks like a great game, one I’ll end up buying (and as usual playing really, really, badly) so it worked for me as a enticement to purchase. [...]

Looking for Maria

Here’s yet another ‘flashmob dancing’ video, this time from the Centraal Station in Antwerp, in what looks like an ad for a TV show to find a Maria (I’m guessing for the stage musical, similar to what happened in the UK).

Yes, it’s another one, they’re becoming unoriginal, but for some reason, I still like them, [...]

Samsung Football

I received an email from Samsung the other day. Apparently, having bought a TV from them is enough for them to think I like football as well, so they’ve sent me some news about their site Samsung Football and a competition to play at Stamford Bridge against ‘football legends’.

Cadbury’s Fairtrade Webcast

Cadbury announced today that all of their coca beans would be Fairtrade certified, a result of the work done by the Cadbury Cocoa Partnership in Ghana. And to help promote this, they ran a live webcast at Cadburylive to answer your questions.

A very simple site, with just the video and a form to add your [...]
