Lexus NFC integration in Wired Magazine

Kristian Baek — Tue, 08 May 2012 03:19:51 +0000

Saw this a while back. I like it for the cool implementation of tech in an ad format. It won’t really be useful until more phones have NFC though. But good effort and kudos for breaking new ground to Lexus and Wired.

3 ways clean with Colgate

Kristian Baek — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:24:47 +0000

I just love 60′s commercials. Great soundtrack and a happy ending. And look at those pearlies. Simple, informative and instructive.

Magnum – I just flew over Paris

Kristian Baek — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:40:34 +0000

Just saw this pretty nice digital piece from Magnum Ice cream (Unilever). Basically it’s a pacman with a hot girl going around the world using google maps or bing to navigate. You have a bunch of product integration’s within it also. Nice.

Check it out: http://pleasurehunt2.mymagnum.com

And thanks to K2 for sharing.

TNT…Dynamite

Cool launch of TNT in Belgium. I like the mechanic of the button. I wonder how long time it took for someone to push.

Axe Anarchy

Kristian Baek — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:27:09 +0000

This is pretty cool – Social Media used to create real time comic strips, with female hotties in the lead roles and writing users into the different roles. Classic Axe in a new way.

Project Re:Brief

Kristian Baek — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:54:54 +0000

Google recently created a series around re-briefing some of the legendary ads of all time. Avis’ We try harder, Volvo’s Drive it like you hate it and Coke’s hilltop commercial. I think it’s quite interesting how you would work off the same brief today, with the same insight and end up somewhere quite differently…and the same.

In the Coke example the insight was something around uniting people. The US had just come out of the Vietnam war and Coke was, even back then, a truly global brand transcending borders and cultural differences. I’m not sure the execution is all that interesting. It seems a bit tech for the sake of tech to me. And naturally Google is all over the place. But it certainly is an interesting experiment.

They are updating the different solutions on projectrebrief.com, so drop by and see what they came up with for Avis and Alka Seltzer.

Enjoy.

The Invisible Mercedes

Kristian Baek — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:46:46 +0000

This is very well made I think. Very spectacular and easily decodable. Nice job. But how do you make a car invisible, not only to the environment, but to the human eye? Here is Mercedes first stab.

Next wave of Branded Utility has landed – Nike+ and Adidas Social football boots

Kristian Baek — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:16:35 +0000

The great Herminator just showed me this. Don’y know how I missed it. Really cool stuff from both Adidas and Nike. So Adidas are launching a football boot that will gather info on your game og practice session. As soon as you have finished playing, the boots will transmit the data wirelessly to your computer, phone or tablet. It records your speed, distance traveled and top speeds as well as monitoring everything you do at one second intervals. For more detail check out Simplyzesty.

And Nike to their Nike+ to a new level adding more sensors and more stuff you can measure.

I basketball shoes, the sport sensor uses pressure data in combination with an accelerometer to calculate your movement, that way Nike+ Sports Sensor can measure how high your vertical jump is, how fast you’re moving and how hard you’re working all in real time.

You can see more stuff on Gizmodo.

This is really cool. I’m stoked and will start playing both football and basketball immediately.
