Interactive Campaigns - some GOOD, BAD, and UGLY

Here are some case studies on some relatively recent digital campaigns I thought I'd share.  See the Good, Bad and the Ugly in action:

GOOD
Nike Take Mokum and the Nike Run House in Amsterdam - online/offline
http://bit.ly/jCGtey
GOOD because it's a beautiful local celebration of art, of city, and the love of running.



MORE GOOD, and a little BAD
Coca-Cola in Israel:  The Recycling King (using Facebook Places) - Be global, act local
http://bit.ly/keIxXh
GOOD because it's a celebration of mobilizing people for a good cause.
BAD because their 'Recycling King' crown feels like a Burger King ripoff ;-)



UGLY
Nestlé:  The Jesus KIT KAT Viral Campaign | Digital Buzz Blog
http://bit.ly/kyagM9
UGLY because (IMHO) it uses mockery as a viral tool.  Just another form of bullying really.  What?  Can't take a joke.  Sure I can Nestlé, just leave the religious zealots out of it and create candy bar cure for diabetes would ya?





Some other notables:

GOOD
Lacta Chocolate: Facebook Campaign Case Study - insight-driven idea | Digital Buzz Blog
http://bit.ly/jMRzwa
GOOD because of it's regional cultural/consumer relevance clearly resonating with Greek lovers in local markets.






UGLY but DAMN GOOD
You think riots are scary?  42 Entertainment promoting Dark Knight a couple years ago.
Alternative Reality campaign on YouTube - Why so serious? - Case study
http://bit.ly/m1UP6a
UGLY because of the makeup.  DAMN GOOD because of the brilliant (and frightening) mobilization of fandome.  Love these guys and their ARGantics.

Is the cycle of life for a company universal? Recent research from the Russian retail service sector suggests some strong commonalities. Four fundamentals of expansion "In this book we tried to find and explain characteristics, features and reasons of expansion of the service sector in Russia over the last decade. And our research was based on four fundamental points." 1. New management approaches "Firstly, over the last hundred years the world economy has gone through a revolution in the service industry. Greater significance of human factor and automation demands of companies to change management approaches since traditional management theories based on manufacturing experience which dominated in the 20th century are least appropriate for service companies. " 2. Defined stages demand different management systems "Secondly, any service company as well as any company in the world passes through defined stages of growth, progress and regression d...

Rebirth of the Digital Twin

Image
The term "digital twin" has been popping up a lot lately.  Serious deja vu .   I recall it being used years ago in engineering, manufacturing and academic circles, but not the popular press.  Not back then.   Curious .   Is there a DT rebirth going on? Apparently so... Source:  Google Trends According to NetworkWorld... A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object or system. The technology behind digital twins has expanded to include large items such as buildings, factories and even cities, and some have said people and processes can have digital twins, expanding the concept even further. The idea first arose at NASA: full-scale mockups of early space capsules, used on the ground to mirror and diagnose problems in orbit, eventually gave way to fully digital simulations. But the term really took off after Gartner named digital twins as one of its top 10 strategic technology trends for 2017 saying that within three t...
