Google Chrome Features (engineered)

Possibly the weirdest promo video yet by Google, but it just might also be the coolest and most innovative! They’ve engineered real world scenes to demonstrate the key features of the Google Chrome browser. With over 250,000 views on YouTube in two days, it’s on track to top the viral video charts this week. The video reminds me of the famous Honda engineering tv ad where they created the whole ad with car parts being automated. Visit their YouTube page for more.

W+K Xmas Interactive Window Card

W+K Xmas Interactive Window from ezblaine on Vimeo.

This is the Wieden + Kennedy London interactive Christmas card from last year where they setup an interactive installation on their front doors that allowed anyone to walk up and automatically have their photo taken and superimposed onto various characters in the window. You could then go online, find yourself, create a personalised christmas card and send it on to friends! Very Cool.

iPhone App & Viral For Insurance Campaign

Dutch agency Novocortex recently launched a pretty cool viral and iPhone app game bundle called “Enless Racing” for an insurance company called Vrijverzekerd to promote their point of difference in the market of repaying the purchase price of the car in an accident. The app lets you build an endless race track with multiple iPhones, connected by blue-tooth from which you can drive the cars from phone to phone! I think this is a great little campaign bundle, you’re giving away a cool, free, branded iPhone app to anyone that wants it and combining it with a pretty catchy viral video to kick it off was a great ploy. It’s has almost 200,000 views on youtube in it’s first month.

Toyota Better Together

Toyota Australia is promoting their hybrid synergy drive engine with “Better Together”, a television commercial featuring two men who handle an office job with four hands, demonstrating the benefits of combining petrol and electric combustion technologies.

Better Together, shot in one take, is the end result of ten days of choreography training with two dancers. They were able to rehearse long enough to get the sequence correct and timed perfectly to fit into 55 seconds, just right for a 60 second commercial.
