3. “Original Click” Youtube ads
Volkswagen
Here’s a really simple, but suitably smart digital media
placement from Volkswagen, attempting to warn people
not to stand for imitation Volkswagen parts. To do this,
Volkswagen bought YouTube ads across popular videos
that were imitations of great ones, and served them with
an ad saying “Don’t accept Imitations. Prefer Original
Parts” which would click through to the original version
of the video duplicate they were watching!

5. Lorem Ipsum recruitment campaign
Jung Von Matt
An innovative recruitment campaign.
How to reach creatives and art directors? Target them
using a site they frequent regularly – Lorem Ipsum,
where they cut and paste text when mocking up
creative. Over 50,000 people a day visit the site, giving
you a very tight target market.
Jung Von Matt, the creative agency in question, hid the
job ad in the Lorem Ipsum itself. The results showed
220,000 people pasting the job offer into their layouts,
with over 14,000 of them clicking through to the job
landing page.
A clever way to catch the attention of potential art
directors for JVM.

6. Charlie Sheen Reborn
Bavaria
We witness how Charlie Sheen leaves the Rehab clinic.
While driving home he notices that everybody on the
streets -even cops and pregnant women- is drinking
beer. When he arrives home, he finds out what has
happened to the world: everybody is drinking Bavaria
0.0% (alcohol free beer).
He joins the party!

7. The driving/phone experiment
Road Safety Authority Belgium
People who are on their phone whilst driving are
70% more likely to cause an accident. If you’ve
never experienced a road accident, talking on your
phone doesn’t seem to cause any harm.
So, the best way to educate people was to allow
them to experience the direct consequences of
their actions.
The Road Safety Authority in Belgium teamed up
with a popular video sharing site, to turn normal
internet videos into an interactive experience.
Through letitring.be, you can register your friends
email address and phone number, and they receive
a link to an unsuspecting car crash video. What
they don’t realise is that they’re playing the main
role as driver.
Watch and see!
