Jeep: Twitter Profile Puzzle #jeeppuzzle
Leo Burnett, Iberia, has come up with an interesting idea for a campaign using Jeep’s twitter profile.
The basic idea is that you follow http://twitter.com/#!/jeeppuzzle then follow the instructions or look at the video above. All you need to do is make the 36 following profile picture windows in your own profile page (old twitter) look like an image that can be created by following a bunch of made up profiles by Jeep. When you have solved the puzzle all you do is reply to @jeeppuzzle and you will stand a chance to win a mystery prize.
VW: Speed Camera Lottery (Fun Theory)
Great work by DDB, Stockholm for more Fun Theory Volkswagen madness. The idea was to set up a speed camera, to take pictures of all cars passing a spot. Speeders get a fine, but at the same time some of this fine goes towards rewarding people who obeyed the law and drove at the correct speed, on a lottery principle.
The Golden Age of Advertising Infographic
Interesting new infographic of the difference between advertising in the 1960’s vs advertising in the 2000’s. It effectively shows the rise of the Attention Economy, and how advertisers are adapting to the new challenges in the digital landscape, as well as predicting where digital spends will be heading in 2014.

Vodafone: Where Are You?
There is just something about this new spot for Vodafone that I really like, maybe its the subtle use of the new Windows Phone 7, or the fact that my favourite F1 driver Lewis Hamilton appears in it. The commercial was done by the Jung von Matt Alster advertising agency for for Vodafone in Germany.
Its me on a NYC Times Square Billboard!
Thanks to a Corona Light facebook campaign that started running a few weeks ago I managed to get my face on a billboard in New York’s Times Square. The campaign works via the Corona Light facebook fan page. All users have to do is “like” the page and then upload a picture of yourself to the app on the page. At random the pictures are being displayed between November the 8th and Dec 6th. When your photo is shown a picture is automatically taken and posted to your facebook wall for all to see.
Good work by Pereira & O’Dell. (Disclaimer: The CNN news ticker has nothing to do with my photo 🙂

Exclusive Books Online: Flashmob FireSale
Exclus1ves (Exclusive Books online) is running a community campaign called FlashMob FireSale. At randomly selected times, the Exclus1ves website will be selling top items for ridiculously cheap prices – e.g. R10 for bestselling books, R20 for latest DVD’s and R50 for games. The FlashMob FireSale only lasts a short time (i.e. 2 hours), and no warning is given except some clues during each week about the content. To get alerts of when the FireSales happen, customers must follow Exclus1ves on Twitter or Facebook.
The campaign is called “FlashMob FireSale” with the strapline “Prices like they used to be”. It is running for 8 weeks, from today. Below is some of the campaign artwork each. The first fire sale was held this morning and it quickly became a trending local topic on Twitter.
