2. C 1. Facebook and twitter in real life I love this video! It takes facebook and twitter and puts them into the real world, acting out everything that you would do on those networks whether it’s a ‘Like’ or a ‘Follow’, it’s all included here. It’s a fun way to showcase how odd our online behaviour can seem when it’s taken out of context. This video is part a viral campaign to advertise a new opera called Two Boys, by nicomulhy, which premiers in London on 24th June and centres around how strange our online lives can be.

4. 2. Sony Picture’s DVD Amnesty Sony Pictures’s were looking for a way to encourage people to update their movie collection and buy new DVDs, a hard job in a dying market. Iris, Sydney came up with a fun solution with ‘The Great DVD Amnesty’, people could trade in their old, unwanted DVDs and get $5 cash back, thus freeing up space in their DVD collection. To get the message out there they used a classic 80′s and 90′s movie star, Jean-Claude Van Damme. The campaign ran across multiple online touche points, from playing with Jean-Claude himself on the campaign homepage, to creating a personalised video using Facebook connect to ‘report a mates collection’. Video content was also seeded throughout the campaign in order to help maintain the engagement. The campaign site also acted as the hub where people could claim their $5 Cash Back. A Facebook app also let you Van-Dammize your name. In a declining market, the campaign resulted in over 9% sales increase on forecast which smashed predictions

10. C 5. T-Mobile Angry Birds For the first time ever, watch how people use a simple smartphone to play a life-size version of the cult Angry Birds game.

T-Mobile set up this larger than life display of the game in Barcelona last month. players walk up to a booth, pick up a smartphone, and play the game while a real-life replica recreates the action. The ad is carefully scripted and incorporates computer effects, but it gives you an idea of what Angry Birds might be like in the real world. Read more
