Too many pulsations for the ad of Axe Naughty girl.. The idea is about women that can't resist the axe products on a man..

To spread the campaign on the site there is write the normal "send to a friend" but also "report a naughty girl".. do u know someone?

Second Skin, a documentary on players of synthetic worlds

noreply@blogger.com (viralavatar) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:47:00 +0000

Two years to do this documentary where a lot of things changed in the net and specially in the synthetic worlds.

Second Skin takes an intimate look at computer gamers whose lives have been transformed by the emerging genre of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs). World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Everquest allow millions of users to simultaneously interact in virtual spaces. Second Skin introduces us to couples who have fallen in love without meeting, disabled players who have found new purpose, addicts, Chinese gold-farming sweatshop workers, wealthy online entrepreneurs and legendary guild leaders - all living in a world that doesn't quite exist.

from the official website

Capturing the online lives of seven gamers, the film speaks about love, greed and depression about the alienation of these worlds. Second Skin premieres at the South By Southwest film festival in Austin, Texas this March.

My thesis it's called The viral net: Viral Marketing, Buzz and Word of Mouth. Prospective of Social Advertisement. This is the cover of my thesis:

It's a thesis based on Non conventional Marketing and Connected Marketing (from Justin Kirby and Paul Marsden). Naturally Viral Marketing is the hub of this thesis. I analized also Social Advertisement because my case study speaks about this. I created during Sept 2007 a viral video for a Social campaign called Superegali, a fundraising campaign developed by Terre des Hommes.
this is the viral video:

So, the focus of my thesis was understand if it's possibile use these non conventional strategies in a qualitative way rather only quantitative as almost all agency do!
This is the presentation:

Total registered account and Marketing activity across synthetic worlds

noreply@blogger.com (viralavatar) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:21:00 +0000

My friends of Kzero made another wonderful job. Here we are with 2 really good analysis, one about the total registered account in synthetic worlds and the othern the marketing activity of the most important brands in synthetic worlds.

Total registered account in synthetic worlds

On this analysis I think is interesting see how many worlds are developed for childrens and teens. as Neopets and Lego Universe (coming soon). Onether good view is seeing the worlds about sports as Empire of Sports and Football superstar.

from Kzero:

Methodology

Reliable references/sources (company websites, press releases etc) have been used to populate, combined with run-rate forecasts. Where no data is available, the virtual world is only represented by the launch date. This is work in progress analysis and should be treated as such. Analysis will be updated regularly. Excludes fantasy-based MMOGs.

Average age data uses K Zero estimates based on brand positioning, company statements and companies present in-world. These estimates will be changed if/when more accurate (company-supplied) data is obtained. E&OE.
The marketing activity of the most important brands in synthetic worlds.

Nice to see different brands invests money in synthetic worlds. As normal, Toyota is the most adventurous marketer..

Thanks again Kzero!

Smart viral marketing strategy for Cloverfield

noreply@blogger.com (viralavatar) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 05:28:00 +0000

Simply amazing the viral campaign for the new film produced to JJ Abrams (one of the author of Lost) and directed by Matt Reeves. Cloverfield basically speaks about a big monster who eats New York and the key of the film is a new way of The blair witch broject, with fake amatorial camera and a low budget. Just 25 million $.

To promote this movie a big viral campaign was produced with fake virals. One month ago, fake videos about tv news were appeared on internet who spoke about the distruction of a oil tanker in the middle of Atlantic Ocean. The owner of the oil tanker was the japanese Tagruato, a fake oil tanker company; as well the fault of this destruction was attributed to the environmentalist association TIDO Wave, as well fake.

The news was produced in different language:
Chuai Station "News" Reports - YouTube Channel
• English News

• German News
• Italian News

• Spanish News
• French News
• Russian News
• Japanese News
• Korean News

To increase the views and the buzz, it was also created a fake video blogger, a nice blonde girl who speaks about her and her Teddy bear and about Cloverfield too..

It s not finish. Fake commercial of a fake drink were made. Slusho.

Since five years ago this drink is a kind of brand of JJ Abrams. In some episode of Alias, Heros appears this drink. Anatother way to promote the movie and the buzzing on it.

and what about the movie videos and trailers?
Well, the officials are 15..
• TV Commercial #1 - Monster

• TV Commercial #2 - Robert
• TV Commercial #3 - Teaser
• TV Commercial #4 - We Are Not Alone
• TV Commercial #5 - Some Thing Has Arrived
• TV Commercial #6 - Who Would You Go Back For?
• TV Commercial #7 - Their Only Hope Is Each Other
• TV Commercial #8 - Experience The Event
• TV Commercial #9 - Tunnel Rats
• TV Commercial #10 - Some Thing Has Found Us (15 sec)
• TV Commercial #11 - Discover The Secret (15 sec)
• TV Commercial #12 - Who Would you Save (15 sec)
• TV Commercial #13 - Cobra Mix
• TV Commercial #14 - Breathe
• TV Commercial #15 - Extreme

just a note. The story links to BoxOfficeMojo.com who is reporting that Cloverfield has stomped the competition and was #1 on Friday:
1. CLOVERFIELD - $16,750,000
2. 27 DRESSES - $7,650,000
3. THE BUCKET LIST - $4,150,000
