Webby for ASIS

Congratulations the Government. ASIS took off a Webby Award for their site ‘The Most Interesting Job Interview’, a recruitment campaign for Australia’s spy agency. [Australian spies good. Foreign spies bad.]

400,000 people have taken the simulated job interview. Click the friendly-looking spy to join the club.

New Zealand also won a Webby for best use of animation on a website. Well done ‘bro. Just keep your evil spies out of our country.

Here’s the winner for Best Media Strategy: it’s Amazon Echo’s launch into India. A pre-roll campaign that promoted their music search capability without paying a rupee to music copyright owners. Sigh.

Original

Fashion brand Balenciaga created a $2300 handbag in the style of an Ikea plastic bag. Ikea responded. Text at bottom spells out how to identify the original IKEA FRAGA bag, e.g. ‘are you able to fold it to the size of a small purse?’, and does it cost 99 cents?

Great response. Mucho social media. Win for both brands.

ShopaLive Expansion in WA

DOOH reach (Digital Out of Home) is increasing sharply in Perth and Retail ShopaLives (pictured) are playing a big role in that shift.  It’s part of oOh!’s expanding digital portfolio.

retail ad- 'it's seriously hot, this calls for a cocktail'

By June, we’ll have ShopaLives in over 30 WA Shopping Centres, up from 20 centres in January 2017 and taking our total ShopaLives to well over 170 panels.

Advertisers can now reach more shoppers with more engaging & dynamic messages.

These digital panels allow for great contextual targeting; you can program them to trigger time-sensitive, temperature-sensitive, and event-sensitive executions. “Forty degrees tomorrow – stick this in your fridge”, “City to Surf next week – read a book instead”. Maybe we’ll leave the creative to you.

Point is, unprecedented opportunities for real engagement and more touchpoints, metro and regional. New centre or ShopaLive conversions include Mirrabooka, Ellenbrook, Livingston, Stirling, Victoria Park, Cockburn, Kalamunda, Karratha, Maddington and Northgate.

This augments our new Evoke Series – high impact, large format digital banners at Lakeside Joondalup, Garden City, Karrinyup & Rockingham.

Retail advertising has become a digital wonderthing.
