Saw this on digitalbuzzblog.com the other day and thought that I had to blog about this. Great use of mobile and the almost now ubiquitous banner ad. AlmapBBDO in Brazil have however managed to breathe live into this medium. Type in your mobile number on the site and within seconds your receive flight details and your phone becomes a remote control for the on screen aeroplane. The advert finishes by reminding customers that flying is easier when you check-in via your mobile phone.
This is a nice idea.

Puma Life Scoreboard
Real time score charts that you can personalise. Good to see Mac is outdoing its lesser rival 
I could see this spreading virally splashed across Facebook no doubt. Nice branded content for Puma.
Happy New Year!
Sorry for the lack of posts throughout December, I was being festive and all that jazz.
Anyway…probably one of the most random things I have been blogged about, but still it made me chuckle.
Google 241543903 then hit image search.
You will find this…
Upon further inspection the first image is this…
Genius, utter genius. I am certainly going to start my own cryptic search entry! Apparently the founder is unknown, well so 241543903.com says, yes it even has its own website!
Fun little microsite by Channel 4. Select different words and create your own unique sentence that is delivered by random celebs. Might even make it onto TV, fingers crossed.
Here’s my effort: http://twist.channel4.com/videos/video/4ce44755ae839
As you may or may not know, November marks the time to grow a moustache (Movember). Movember is an annual charity event held that raises funds and awareness for men’s health, in particular testicular and prostate cancer. So to promote this oh-mo.co.uk has been created.
Add a moustache to your favourite website.

Ever wondered where your waste goes when you flush your toilet. Now you can find out this the Flushtracker from Domestos.
Simply type in your postcode and time your toilet was flush and the site tracks the current location using real time data in Google Maps.
Comissioned to raise awareness of National Toilet Day, the site tracks exact position, speed and distance travelled as it navigates the length of Britain’s sewage system.
The point is to amaze you with the huge sewage systems that take care of our sanitation, and thus hit home the message that 2.6 billion people have no such system, meaning their waste goes nowhere causing disease.

So the much anticipated second series of Misfits is soon to be gracing our screens, and what better way to highlight this than little a quirky viral campaign. Nothing groundbreaking but a fun video to share with your friends.
Help the M&M’s gang locate Red in the City of Toronto inside Google Street. To help with the search, the M&M’s characters will seed clues to Red’s whereabouts on various social media channels, including Facebook, where the brand has just launched a new M&M’s Canada fan page, I bet they have a few more fans now?

This is a couple of years old now but thought it was worthy of a post. This even pre-dates the Expendables takeover…could even be the first (feel free to correct me).
Nice promotion for the Warioland Shake It game…very apt.
