Coke Zero – The Swap (Spain)

 An activation in Spain to challenge taste perceptions of Coke Zero. Research showed that nobody believed adswhich said that Coke Zero tastes as good as Coke so the agency did a stunt. They tricked cinemagoers by placing

actual Coke Zero into Coke red cups and then revealing in a Cinema ad to the audience that they had been duped.Great way of proving the taste point rather than asserting it with low credibility ads.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCvHIAcsMPg&feature=player_embedded

Old spice (US)

Great brand attitude work. Recent ‘Old Spice Man’ campaign has been a first-class example of transmedia thinking. TV ads set up the idea, TwitterFeed reinforces the idea and invites interaction from the audience to ask questions of 

the Old Spice Man which are then made into new content in quick response. The campaign becomes real-time andrewards the audience for being accomplices in the idea.

between brands and their audiences

Never let people feel that they are being ‘marketed down to’.Involve them as accomplices.

New questions for creative reviews•  Does this idea treat the audience as a ‘consumer being

marketed to’ or as an accomplice?•  Is this idea adding to the world of the audience?•  Is this idea incomplete? How will people interact?•  Is this idea honest and authentic, or is it fake?•  Does this idea create spectacular, never had before

experiences?•  Does this idea getter better as you add channels or does it just

repeat itself?
