The Tweet Writer

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

The Tweet Writer is a campaign that was created by our colleagues at JWT Melbourne for The Melbourne Writers Festival. It analyzes your tweets and publishes “your book” based on your tweets which you can then share with friends to raise awareness for the Festival. It’s simple and clever.

Looking forward to more from Dan King and his team from down under!

Keep Walking, Everyone Is

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Thought it a little ironic that BBH who has done so much wonderful work for Levis over the years have recently been replaced.

One of my favorite recent pieces of BBH work is their much awarded “The Man Who Walked Around the World” film.  Click here

And here is Levis latest.  Not from BBH.  “Guy Walks Across America”.

 

The stop motion technique is interesting, but at least to me, not much else is. But what the hell do I know, in one week 800,000 people watched it.

 

Me, I’ll rather they walked around the world though and asked BBH to help them.

Smoker? Smober Up!

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

JJ and its Nicorette brand in Canada has launched a series of web-episodes following the journey of eight people trying to give up smoking.

If I was a smoker, this would have an impact on me.  Am scared someone will do a non-drinking one soon.

While social media is still in its infancy, it’s getting increasingly crowded and, as a result, increasingly confusing. But it’s exciting at the same time.

For our latest report, we spoke with a globally diverse panel of 18 professionals (both inside and outside JWT) in the social media sphere. From those conversations, we developed 12 actionable recommendations for brands, with case studies to help illustrate these ideas.

Iggy Pop, Cannes and the King of Product Demos

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Yes, the man rocked the Cannes Lions on Monday…in his underwear (I kid you not). New Zealand based Special Group took home a well deserved Direct Grand Prix for it’s Orcon Broadband Campaign.

Background: Despite offering faster broadband and better service, Orcon was still largely unknown.
Objective: To raise awareness of Orcon’s superior offering.
Strategy: Why say it when you can show it?
Execution: A “mass product demonstration” featuring Mr Iggy Pop.
Results: Off the wall. 200 auditions viewed over 100,000 times, 3,500 new Facebook friends in two weeks, NZ$650,000 of unpaid media coverage before the TV spot even aired and a 30% sales increase on the previous year.

What they did? They organised a world first event, a chance for 9 Kiwis to re-record Iggy’s “The Passenger” with the man himself. Everything revolved around the internet: the call for auditions, the facebook activity, the “play live with Iggy” event. So, while everyone else out there was busy talking up their services, Orcon went out and used theirs, showed it, made it truly magical. Who would have thought you can record a song via the internet, with 9 of you in New Zealand, each at their own studio and one in Miami in his studio?

So, here it is..enjoy!

For the full case study go to Cannes Lions.

Congratulations to all Cannes Winners,

Lucky
