I love Uniqlo ads. Props to Droga5.
Sampling and digital
Remember when sampling meant just giving stuff away? As the Coke Zero video illustrates, you gotta get bang for your buck with your sampling. The secret formula, known up til now by only five people in the world, is digital + imagination = engagement + social sharing. Notice how integral outdoor is to the campaign. Then call Media Tonic with your campaign idea. 9388 7844.

Mixed reality is getting closer. Which is great, because augmented reality and virtual reality are very 2009.
The Magic Leap technology projects a digital light field into your eyes which magically disintermediates screens and the TV industry.
It’s a Florida startup that has raised $1.4B, you read that correctly, from investors that include Google, Alibaba, and the 40 thieves.
See you in my eyeballs.
Special needs
I love that our industry makes such a difference in how people see the world.

The image is momentary, not persistent, but boy; nice moment.
It’s crowd-funded. Here’s their somewhat formal pitch video:

Out of Home to Out-Perform
UK survey of 204 media agency and outdoor specialists… results point to the shift in Out of Home from a passive medium to a channel that is modern, exciting and sophisticated. No surprise to our regular readers.
Respondents projected Digital Out of Home (DOOH) as the highest growth potential of any medium over the next five years, ahead of mobile, VOD, and anything else that moves or doesn’t.
Separate research in Europe says Out of Home is close to knocking off TV as the most trusted media.
And in Australia, here’s oOh! showcasing DOOH at the spectacular Melbourne Emporium site:
