<title>Lynx Click viral</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Several <a href="http://www.clickmore.com">(inter)national campaigns</a> for the new AXE/LYNX fragrance Click came by already, but I didn’t see <a href="http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=3543&rtn=index-topten">this one</a> yet. This ‘home made’ movie shows a typical webcam girl that’s got a message for the guy she met the other night. Apparently she wasn’t the only one who met him...</p>

<p><a href="http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=3543&rtn=index-topten"><img alt="axe.jpg" src="http://openspace.adverblog.com/archives/axe.jpg" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>

<p>Very similar to tons of webcam movies that spread around the web and have a huge audience. This is what the target group is watching, so this is how you reach them. Great anticipation (from <a href="http://www.theviralfactory.com/">The Viral Factory</a>).</p>]]></description>

<title>Heineken meets Google (again)</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Heineken Netherlands once again hooks up with Google to promote their new product Tapvat (Draught Keg). This time Google Maps is integrated in the <a href="http://www.heineken.nl">Tapvat World Tour 2006 </a>campaign. Visitors are challenged to search the world for gigs from Dutch live band Voicst using satellite maps. A radio signal leads them to the right spot. </p>

<p><img alt="tapvatworldtour3.jpg" src="http://openspace.adverblog.com/archives/tapvatworldtour3.jpg" width="400" height="272" /></p>

<p>In 2005 Heineken <a href="http://www.adverblog.com/archives/002133.htm#comments">also</a> coorporated with Google for the introduction of Tapvat. In that campaign – <a href="http://www.heineken.nl/domains/heineken2/pages/chome.asp?content=12625_2_2141">Tapvat on Tour</a> - Google Image Search was integrated as a personalized postcard generator, challenging visitors to find the most original destination to take along their Tapvat.</p>

<p>Since this a campaign from my own agency <a href="http://www.qi-ideas.com">Qi</a> (I really had to share this one, sorry), I left my opinion behind. But I'm curious what you think..</p>]]></description>

<title>Mammut Mount Everest Viral</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Mary Woodbridge lives in Greenfield, UK, together with her dog Daisy. Mary is about to climb Mount Everest. <a href="http://www.mary-woodbridge.co.uk/">On her site</a>, Mary has a few video clips of the preparations she's been doing. There's a 'Tips for Mary' corner and 'Plan and Training' section. The website looks like a very basic one in html, the way websites were made long ago in forgotten decades of the previous century. You just got to see this, it's a great experience, created by <a href="http://www.sflb.ch/">Spillmann/Felser/Leo Burnett from Zurich, Switzerland.</a> </p>

<blockquote>Story: An 85-year old British Lady by the name of Mary Wooldbridge, who takes her dachshund for a daily walk, buys a Mammut-Jacket to proctect herself from the wind and weather. This Jacket is obviously so good that the elderly lady believes that she can climb Mount Everest wearing it.</blockquote><br />

<title>Be kind to smokers, they already have a short life.</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>In Belgium Snow (a division of <a href="http://www.lgf.be">LG&F</a>) launches a national campaign (TV, print, online) against smoking. The campaign is very funny and uses a different approach, depending on the medium. Also banners with different messages are created for online  media (depending on the topic of the site they are placed on). </p>

<p>It's a powerfull campaign that focusses on smokers but also on the non-smokers which can become buddies to help people stop smoking.</p>

<p>On the <a href="http://www.helpeenroker.be/">campaign website</a> you can send in tips and tricks for the people in need (smokers). :)</p>

<p>I am sure this is a campaign that will stick in peoples minds.</p>

<title>Make your virtual note real</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.takenote.com.au/" target="x">Take Note</a> is an interesting on- and offline connection from Staedtler, an international writing instruments supplier. They invite site visitors to say something, whether thoughtful or stupid - by online writing a note to friends, strangers or themselves. Staedtler will write down this message on real paper and send it on to the specified address - along with a black and red pencil. Too bad it only works for Australia, but the idea from agency <a href="http://www.hostville.com.au/" target="x">Host </a>is great. </p>]]></description>

<title>Renault: pretty annoying</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.barnes-richardson.com" target="_blank">Barnes & Richardson Belgium</a> created a <a href="http://balcon.smtp1.net/">viral campaign</a> for Renault during the annual Car Salon to promote their special offers during this period. </p>

<p>The way it works is that you can send a friend a message to let them know about the Renault special conditions. The fun factor is that your friend's name will be mentioned in the movieclip. Pretty funny but some more action would have been nice. Anyway it's a fun way to get your message spread.</p>

<title>IMvironments: New tool to engage people with messengers</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>InstantMessengers are may be youth generations’ biggest habit. They live online, and connect their friends via messengers. Replacing our brands on messenger is big challenge. Now, marketers have an innovative tool to engage people with messengers. <a href="http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/imv/">IMVironments</a> are instant messaging environments that are interactive, themed backgrounds for Yahoo! Messenger conversations that appear directly in the instant messaging window. </p>

<p><a href="http://openspace.adverblog.com/archives/imvironments.png"><img alt="imvironments.png" src="http://openspace.adverblog.com/archives/imvironments-thumb.png" width="369" height="178" border="0" /></a></p>

<p>With IMvironments brands connect people directly, reshape messenger with branded images and entertain them with branded content .They are already some brands (Mountain Dew, HP, American Express, Napster...) using Imvironments. But we think, possibilities are bigger. </p>]]></description>

<title>Need more space?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Pioneer launches a second <a href="http://www.pioneer-eur.com/needmorespace">viral campaign</a> to promote their DVD recorders with storage space up to 455 hours. Their first viral was <a href="http://www.adverblog.com/archives/002139.htm">mentioned here before</a>. It was amusing but a bit too short. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.pioneer-eur.com/needmorespace"><img alt="needmorespace.jpg" src="http://openspace.adverblog.com/archives/needmorespace.jpg" width="317" height="179" border="0" /></a></p>

<p>Also this viral is dubbed "<a href="http://www.pioneer-eur.com/needmorespace">Need more space?</a>" but the approach is different. Originally the 2 viral movies should have been released together but some problems in Belgium with one person complaining about the obese people in the clip had put a halt on spreading. </p>]]></description>

<title>The PR audience is intelligent</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>“The U.S. and the rest of the world have much to learn from the Norwegian PR-market.” <br />
Responsible for that “modest” statement is Jerry Judge, a former top manager of the PR-agency Lowe. Never underestimate your audience, like the Americans do, is Jerry Judge’s advice. <br />
Jerry Judge says that the Norwegian PR sees its audience like intelligent human beings. <br />
Maybe the Olympic gold medals to Norway have gone to their heads… </p>]]></description>

<title>The Swedes don't love boobs</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I don’t know if it was the intention, or not. The lingerie company Lindex has anyway stirred up the Sweden’s minds with its latest ad campaign. The purpose was anyway to get people (read men) to buy bras to their beloved ones as Valentine-gifts. </p>

<p><img alt="lindex.jpg" src="http://openspace.adverblog.com/archives/img/lindex.jpg" width="380" height="261" /></p>

<p>Ads outdoors and in papers and magazines have the slogan “We Love Boobs” (<a href="http://www.lindex.se">www.lindex.se</a>) A close-up of a woman in a white, pretty innocent bra was obviously too much for the Swedes and the “nakedness” has been wildly discussed in the tabloids lately. The ads have even got banned in the underground of Stockholm.  <br />
The company has got pretty much free publicity and I suppose the PR-agency behind is quite satisfied. I don’t think there’s been such a fuss about an ad since Ann Nichole Smith was the model (thin at that time) for H & M. <br />
That’s the famous Swedish Sin for you!</p>]]></description>
