Escape machine - Surprise
Escape Machines - Surprise from The Cool Hunter on Vimeo.
"DDB Paris created this simple, fun “Escape Machine” experience for the French travel company Voyages SNCF.
Menacing, glowing black cubes wait till someone goes close enough. Then the cube asks where the person would like to travel. Pushing the red button produces a crazy celebration, complete with gigantic walking kisses, and provides the wishers large, customized mock tickets to their destination. Watching the faces of the onlookers is just as much fun as the experience itself!"
This is awesome. Made me smile :)

Your Facebook memories.. in a book!
When I 'graduate' from facebook.. (I can't see that happening any time soon!) I want one of these. It's kinda like a Facebook year book, don't you think? Love the cheesy memory music! Reminds me of every other South Park episode where they discuss what they have learnt from the events of the day. Hahaha..

Digital Marketing workshop
WOW! I'm loving AdSchool! I got to sit in on the Digital Marketing workshop with Heather Albrecht last Friday. She was such a fantastic lecturer, the workshop was so insightful and inspiring. I came out of it feeling so energised! I couldn’t wait to get cracking on my blog again. And now I finally have some more things to add to my brain-bank. Some memorable points:
Participation Branding - "What we lose in control, we gain in brand engagement"
Matching luggage - through the line integration. Big idea = media neutral.
Viral is not a brief, it's a bonus.
It’s a commitment, not a campaign.
The three C's - Content, Community, Conversation.
Bought + Owned = Earned (media).
Facebook marketing – use to measure demographics!
FAIL FORWARD!
Prequel ads (ninemsn etc)
Before selector = 25% abandon website
with selector = 10% abandon website
Facebook plugins/social plugins - iframes
Comment/like on page without leaving site
Community Managers - not marketers/ad agency. New jobs opening up - Journalists?
Three things I'm going to do differently:
Create more online participation - ask more questions, get feedback
Try to get advertising/bought media, send to (hopefully new) website, and facebook/twitter
Get video marketing material
Get onto podcasts!
Netvibes homepage – personalised content on demand.
Social influencers – dance party video! Have to find this!

It's been a while...!!
WOW. Great to be back in the game! After so long of being away from Adland, I'm back.. At The Communications Council as the AdSchool Account Coordinator.. primarily for Sydney but also administrating Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Could things really get any better? I don’t think so.. I’m loving it! I’ve met heaps of amazing people, get to go to tons of ad events, and basically do what I love (AdSchool of course!).
Did I mention how much I loved Sydney?
Too much!
More to post soon..

Adland I love you
Okay.
Situation.
Friday lunchtime.
I gather up my first industry read (Creative) for a long few months of not having the free time or energy to put towards my undeniable love for advertising and ideas.
I head to the local Thai in West Perth to treat myself to a laksa and get reading.
First few pages, my excitement grows.
Mid way through I realise I am sitting there with eyebrows raised and mouth closed-smiling reading about the top voted advertising ideas, campaigns and agencies in Australia.
And I re-realised how much I love advertising. So much that I think it's unhealthy.
And I'm now buzzing from the excitement...
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
I need to get over east!!! And when I do... there will be no stopping me!!!!!! *evil cackle*!!!

Brandkarma
"Publicis Mojo's Australian Chief Creative Officer Craig Davis is out to help everyone make better brand choices and influence brand behavior for good”.
"My issue with Brandkarma is not what it's nobly trying to achieve, but simply this: 99.9% of consumers, the regular mums, dads and kids out there, couldn't care less about contributing to sites like Brandkarma. As usual, the committed - from genuinely interested to zealots on a mission - will dominate and sway the findings accordingly.
For instance, I reckon 90% of Australians don't have any problems with Nestle - but according to BK they obviously do."
At least someone is giving it a crack. It's a good start anyway. For a personal project it is actually a great start! Maybe if there was some incentive for any consumer to log their opinions on brands, rather than just them putting in their two cents for nothing in return other than to see what others think, too..
Definitely raised a few eyebrows on Campaign Brief!

Cute little intro video as well!

Freshmen ads
Somewhere there's a junior creative crying in a beer.
Hang the first ads you were paid to write, design, direct, produce and sell to the client right here on our wall.
As Letterman would say, "This is an exhibition, not a competition. Please, no wagering."
http://www.freshmenads.com/
Classic!!
"The year was 1987 (there, you made me say it) and the place was The Richards Group in Dallas. This was one of those junior team hand-me-down projects that was due almost overnight.
Luckily for me I was paired with a talented female writer who had a much deeper appreciation for mammographies than myself. You can tell I was heavily influenced by everything coming out of Minneapolis at the time. This actually made it into The One Show that year.
My, how times and tastes have changed. – Scott Ballew"

Ahhh Schweppervescence
The countdown to the 56th Cannes Lions Internation Advertising Festival is on, with only 3 weeks to go! Just watching a videoblog on Campaign Brief from Cannes 2008, and was reminded of this awesome ad for Schweppes! It won a Gold Lion (as it should) and was shot with ultra slow motion cameras capturing the footage at a massive 10,000 frames per second. It's so beautiful, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :D haha!
Another 2008 Cannes Gold Lion winner...
