Hellmann’s mayo recipe ideas on your till receipt based on the items you bought in the shop 

You might have already seen this but if not, it’s a nice case study or digital interacting with the ‘analogue world’

Words borrowed from Dan over at MediaCom’s ftmf.info

Three important pieces of context:
1) Over 16 years of Angry Birds playing time is clocked up every single hour; Rovio are now valued at $1bn+
2) NASA funding is under constant threat, never more so than in these straitened times
3) Samsung are desperate to confound Apple at every turn

So for the launch of Angry Birds space, they have got a NASA astronaut on the space station to demonstrate the physics principles at work in the new game – with Samsung providing the tech support in exchange for demonstrating the game on a Galaxy phone.

NASA are being paid for this by taking an undisclosed cut from sales of the new game, and keep their legitimacy intact because their role is to educate young people on physical principles.

Samsung get an association with both a powerful tech story and a powerful force in gaming (41% of Angry Birds downloads have been on the Android platform).

Angry Birds get a global launch from probably the one organisation that can talk to the whole world about space with complete authority.

Clever clever clever.

BBH Labs: Majority report - looking through the digital hype

Purchase is too often confused with adoption. People do often buy and subscribe to new technologies. They then infrequently (if ever) use them. Only 20% of the average smartphone’s capacity is ever used.  Of the 20% people willing to pay for TVs with internet connectivity, under half of them even connect it, let alone find it useful …Technology is tech-centric. There is the assumption that because something can be done, it will be popular, important and useful. However, ‘We are now able to…’ is not the same as ‘People now want to…’. Possibility is mistaken for demand”

Liking the new digital switch over campaign!

Last week MediaCom launched the first fully wrapped tube on the Central Line as part of a larger campaign to drive awareness of the impending digital switchover in London. This train will run from now until the actual switchover date and the messages on the outside and the inside of the train are there as a reminder to Londoners that the change is coming.  The bright pink seats should help to get travellers attention! The start of the campaign also saw cuddly digitAL on the tube seats which people could take with them.
