DIAGEO SMART WHISKEY BOTTLES FOR FATHER’S DAY

 

Products can get a lot more personal when the Internet of Things makes them smart. Diageo whisky decided to position itself as the drink to celebrate fatherhood by connecting 100,000 bottles to the internet so they could be used to send a personalised, one-to-one digital video message to fathers with the help of QR codes. The givers (of the Whisky) were able to personalise the message with their own content. By doing so it calls upon the giver to create what is, in effect, the advertising message to augment the product, making this an example of participative (and, at scale, crowdsourced) creative.

AMAZON – TIDE : PRODUCTS THAT ORDER MORE OF THEMSELVES

Connected products don’t just have to be tools for marketing; they can also be used for sales! Amazon’s dash buttons connect to your home wi-fi and link to the Amazon app. They can be pressed whenever you are running low on a given product- i.e Tide detergent, and the product the button corresponds to will turn up on your door in a couple of days. Talk about a customer loyalty program! This way your customers aren’t in a supermarket looking at 100 different brands of detergent which do similar things and make similar promises, instead they're in their house looking at the almost empty bottle of detergent and thinking they could do with a bit more, so they just press the button and they're done. It also makes the purchase process so frictionless that it literally is at the touch of a button.

PHONE IT IN FROM BEDPOWER SLEEP FOR SAMSUNG / CHEIL AUSTRIA

Would you be more likely to do something philanthropic if you could sleep through it? For some Samsung consumers, that's a big yes. The brand tapped Cheil Austria to create Power Sleep, an app that donates smartphones' CPUs and processing power to people who really need it—like scientists calculating data for cancer or Alzheimer's research.The app works like an alarm clock. By setting an alarm when they go to sleep, consumers agree to donate their phones' power while they're idle. The effort garnered 250,000 downloads and donated over 1 terabyte of data, which totals 20,800 nights of sleep donated. Plus, more than 60 percent of the users who downloaded the app are still donating their CPUs each night.

They gave away these lettuces for free to people who were curious enough to walk upto the billboard.

HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR ATTENTION-TWEETING SONAR FOR STEINLAGERWorld record holders in free diving aren't exactly

household names. That proved no obstacle to Steinlager Pure beer, which publicized the latest attempt at beating a world free dive record by fellow New Zealander William Trubridge—who was shooting for a no-fins depth of 102 meters across the globe in the Bahamas.Pairing a souped-up sonar fish finder to detect Trubridge's progress with prewritten tweets describing that progress, tweets were sent to digital billboards across the country. Trubridge achieved his goal and so did Steinlager, as the dive became the biggest sporting event in New Zealand in 2014, with a larger TV audience than the World Cup final.

ARNO TURBO SILENCE FAN: MAXIMUM WIND POWER

• In the summertime, temperatures in Brazil reach 42 degrees Celsius. Consumption of fans increase by 70 percent. The challenge was how to make Arno fans stand out in the point-of-sale? By use of the products main benefit: the power.

• This is a wonderful campaign by Publicis in Brazil in which the company placed an automobile on it’s side right in front of the fan. This campaign got people on the street to stop and question why the car was tipped over. The culprit? The Arno fan.

SENSODYNE

• When launching new Sensodyne Complete Protection, GSK wanted to demonstrate how its Novamin technology can help sensitive teeth, as well as encouraging people to think more about sensitivity and its impact on their lives.

• ‘The Great Sensitivity Test’ was setup near London’s Tower Bridge consisting of three different zones.

• Zone one allowed people to have a sensitivity check with a dentist, win prizes, obtain free samples and see a demo of the product. Zone two was basically a giant tooth that gave people a decent vantage point for a photo.

• And in zone three Sensodyne attempted to host the world’s largest ever oral hygiene lesson, as a dental expert told a crowd of 232 people how to correctly look after their teeth.

TRIBORD - THE WORST DRINK IN THE WORLD

Tribord, a company that specializes in watersports equipment, decided to launch its new floatation jacket by creating a guerrilla marketing campaign for a fake drink called WAVE. Unsuspecting passerby on the harbor soon discovered that WAVE was actually seawater in a can - and they got a jarring reminder of the sensation of drowning. This way, Tribord was able to remind everyone of the necessity of water safety and raise awareness for their product.

NIVEA - NIVEA DOLL Like Tribord, Nivea, which makes sunscreen, decided to raise general awareness of an important safety concern while generating exposure for their product in the process. Nivea created a doll that would turn red in the sun without sunscreen and distributed the doll to children enjoying a day at the beach. The doll helped kids understand why wearing sunscreen is important for your health, and Nivea established itself as a brand that is engaged in helping people stay healthy.

SMART E-BALL

Electric cars are not really all that attractive. Their tech is quite nascent, they have very less power and accelerate oh-so-slowly! To prove all of these conceptions wrong, promoters of the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive set up an activation on the streets to showcase the car's surprisingly powerful acceleration.They created a live digital version of the classic game of Pong and mapped two Smart cars to drive back and forth to act as the paddles.

PEDIGREE HELP PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME AND DOGS

• Unfortunately some parts of Russian society reject people with down syndrome, which makes it difficult for people with down syndrome to find work. In Russia, there are some 2,500 babies with Down’s syndrome born every year and a mere 20 years ago, 95 percent of Russian families would give up babies born with Down’s syndrome.

• Pedigree wanted to change that perception and help spread awareness and prove that people with down syndrome are capable of working. They created the pUp syndrome campaign to put children with down syndrome to work and help out shelter animals

LIFE SAVING DOT

• While supplements in the form of pills are available, women weren’t getting or taking them. So, how do you help these women get the required dosage of iodine? When talking to doctors, Grey discovered that the problem could be solved by absorption through skin—this was their eureka moment.

• The solution was the Life Saving Dot – an idea that transformed bindis (already worn by every Indian woman as a traditional symbol of beauty) into iodine patches. Every woman requires between 150 – 220 micrograms of iodine daily. These bindis dispensed that amount to the wearer daily.

• The bindis were initially distributed at Neelvasant’s already existing network of medical camps, reaching 30,000 women. The next stage will see them produced and rolled out on a larger scale.

MOTHERS WALK INTO A ROOM FULL OF THANK YOU NOTES ONLY TO RECEIVE AN AMAZING SURPRISE

Pandora Jewelry asked several mothers and daughters to partake in a special experiment in which the daughter would write a thoughtful letter of appreciation for the mother to find. Each letter had its own unique style and each note was placed on the wall for a mother to identify. To see if the mother chose the right letter, they were told to play the iPad video below the note. If they chose correctly, they were rewarded with a very loving message from their daughter.

PURDEY’S MAKES PEOPLE’S DREAMS COME TRUE

PROMEDICA HEALTHCARE – HEALTHY LIVING• How does a healthcare brand, in this case a

health system, ensure its future brand relevancy?• By standing out in ways that really matter to

consumers (differentiation), by delivering a “branded” and delighting customer experience (experience offering), by tapping into emotions and creating an instinctive attraction that goes beyond rational needs (emotional pull) and by constantly moving and evolving to surprise and delight its audiences (dynamism). In other words, doing what Toledo Ohio-based ProMedica healthcare network is going.

• When you do a search for the organization, you’ll find its mission front and center:

• ProMedica recently opened a full-service grocery store in a renovated building that had been vacant for more than two decades.  It provides healthful and affordable food choices in a formerly designated food desert

• They also plan to offer health screenings and education, cooking and nutrition classes, job training and financial literacy to area residents.

RECYCLING FOR REWARDTHINK MACHINE FOR VWRussia isn't a country known for its environmental tendencies, so batteries tend to get thrown in the garbage rather than recycled.Volkswagen devised the Think Machine, a vending machine placed in several high-trafficked areas of Moscow that accepted only batteries of differing sizes and returned goods from local retailers. Where a normal Moscow recycling facility collects 1,000 batteries, the Think Machines took in 8,000. After generating social buzz in the Russian press, other retailers are looking to install the machines. And VW may roll them out in other European dealerships.

FACEBOOK’S FIRST VR FILM “HERE AND NOW”• For its first big experimental VR film, Facebook saw an

opportunity to make film that's both heightened yet familiar, ambitious yet ordinary, something quietly grand about everyday life. This fits the Facebook brand perfectly, this is, after all, a giant company that enables the smallest, most ordinary moments of human interaction.

• The resulting three-and-a-half-minute film, which just rolled out Tuesday, is called "Here and Now." It was made by The Factory, Facebook's in-house creative studio, and was shot on—and in some ways serves as advertising for—the Facebook Surround 360 camera, which was introduced last month at F8.

• As a story and a piece of craft, it fulfills its high-low mission by showing ordinary moments in a grand space—eight vignettes of people engaging with friends and family in the main concourse at New York's Grand Central Terminal.

A VIRTUAL PROTEST AGAINST THE BANNING OF PROTESTS• Deeply concerned over restrictions passed in Spain's

Congress over the right to assemble publicly and protest, known in Spain as "The Gag Law," almost 100 rights organizations banded together to form NoSomosDelito (WeAreNotCrime).

• The aim: informing citizens about the meaning of these reforms, which the groups believe restrict fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and assembly in the name of "citizens' security"—and to pressure the Spanish government to ease the reforms.

• The tactic: holographic images were stitched together from uploaded protests captured on a website that put people in the streets in a virtual manner. The virtual protests were then projected onto a screen in front of Spanish Parliament on April 10, generating worldwide news coverage.

BRAND ACTIVATION APPROACH STEPSBefore thinking about the technology to be used or brain storming about something out of the box, one should find the answer to the questions below to gain a sense of direction:• Why activation? What is the end result to be achieved?• What action you want your consumers to take. Articulate your goals. (They

must be quantifiable. )

Page 69: Best of Brand Engagements using latest in Tech

HOW TO BUILD MEANINGFUL TWO-WAY ACTIVATION? Here are five steps to get started:1. Isolate the real problem you’re trying to solve, rather than leading with the “supposed” solution2. Identify what drives (or not) customers' attitudes, passions and behaviours3. Unearth all of your brands ambitions and possibilities4. Brainstorm possibilities at the sweet spot of #2 and #3 to deliver maximum customer value and competitive advantage5. Advance ideas that move customers forward, who in turn drive business forward

BRAND ENGAGEMENTS SHOULD• Help distinguish the brand in a crowded marketplace.• Fit with the core values of the brand.• Create assets that offer long term benefits to the organization.• Create genuine emotional engagement with communities through things

that they would love to interact with or things that they genuinely care about or are passionate about.

• Ultimately, make it easier for consumers to believe in the brand.
