The poster that changes your colleagues' music choice

Sunday, 29th April 2012 at 3:04pm

Music Poster DesignHave you sat in your office and cringed at your colleagues' awful taste in music? Then the "Change the Tune" poster, invented by Agency Republic will have you cheering.

The agency plays music via Spotify over their sound system and have rigged up a poster with a motion sensor that changes the song when it's hit by something. A great idea but watch out for unidentified flying objects and the Health and Safety squad.

Skype challenges impersonal social media in new ad campaign

Friday, 6th April 2012 at 9:33am

Skype advertisingSkype has launched a new ad campaign challenging the lack of humanity in social media and focussing on the theory that technology makes communication more efficient, but less personal.

In a $12 million campaign Skype looks to leverage consumer anxiety about alienation promoting that it is better to talk face to face than via text or Twitter. The campaign launched last week in transport hubs, like Heathrow Airport, with a series of ads by Pereira & O'Dell which challenge the superficiality of text-based technology like Facebook, Twitter and SMS.

Skype advertisingSkype advertisingThese are quite challenging and make you think about how social channels are changing our lives, similar to the impact that email had a few years back. We often talk in the office about how email has killed the art of conversation. How will social channels eventually change the way we communicate?

What do you think?

Mini poster sites for a mini series

Thursday, 27th October 2011 at 8:52am

7 Dwarves 1.jpgTo promote Channel 4's new series 'Seven Dwarves' twenty miniature billboards were placed in various locations around London. Complete with working lights each was a perfect scale model of a 48-sheet poster site.

The sites announced the launch of the new series however they appear to have been very popular as all 'disappeared' very quickly, but what a great idea!
