Tiffany & Co (an affiliate of Gregory and Gregory) completely went to town on the Royal Wedding, live streaming it on DOOH and running a beautiful campaign on the recently renovated Piccadilly Lights.
Live streaming has become a killer app for DOOH, creating excitement or just spreading the love.
Cute.
It worked beautifully to let someone else discover the fact (or they seeded it). Lots of the follow-up conversation was about how clever @edgette22 was to work it out. Obviously some kind of genius. Anyway, 175,000 retweets and who knows how many impressions via Media Tonic?
Gr8 way to plug stock footage.
Also, during periods when you and your dinner guests are not checking your phones, it’s an excellent conversation piece. “Let’s make everyday dining fun!”
What’s impressive in this video is the line at the bottom of the screen.
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.
Good example of mining your data for story-telling potential. Music streaming service Spotify is running its first global outdoor campaign with the theme, “Thanks 2016, It’s Been Weird”.
Another billboard reads, “Dear person who played ‘Sorry’ 42 times on Valentine’s Day: WHAT DID YOU DO?”

That famous ad man David Ogilvy said a billboard should contain not more than seven words.
Oscar Powell runs a record label and is also a recording artist. He wanted to use a vocal sample on his song Insomniac from Steve Albini, a singer/songwriter, music journalist and a recording engineer of some renown. So he emailed Steve to ask permission.
Steve emailed back a rant about how much he hated Powell’s music genre but added, ‘do whatever you like’.
And in an inspired piece of promotion, Powell reproduced the whole email on a billboard.
It did not catapult Insomniac to the Billboard HOT 100. Here is the song. Draw your own conclusions.
