Everyone stand up. Now sit down if you aren’t using Pinterest. Ok, now sit down if you are make. Oh just you at the back there.

Google Maps Goes Analogue In New Video

To coincide with CES and highlight some of the new features that Google Maps has recently added, Google released this uniquely analogue film from new ad agency Venables Bell & Partners. The spot revolves around a huge wooden gyroscope that follows a blue marble around model streets stopping off at a restaurant and barber shop along the way. Its an interesting concept and one that feels very ‘Google’! If you are interested in finding out more about what Google Maps now has to offer then start here.

Working in advertising can sometimes have its drawbacks…like occasionally loosing all sense of reality! After all part of our job is finding the positive in every product, service or brand we work with, no matter how dubious.

It doesn’t happen enough considering all those corporate profits are a result of the little guy buying their wares.

This is what Christmas is all about. Well done Coke.

eBay Opens QR Code Powered Store Front In New York
October 27, 2011 By 1 Comment
Whats that you say? Browsing eBay online is too easy and you wished they made it more complicated and confined it to a single store in New York? Well its your lucky day because thats exactly what they’ve done with the eBay ‘Inspiration Room’ concept store. Located in New York any passer-by can stop, scan the QR code (with their mobile phone) of any item they have taken a liking to and be taken to a purchasing page with more information! Sarcasm aside, the idea does have merit, but in my opinion its real niche is for existing physical retailers to offer a more stress-free and streamlined purchase process. The opposite transition from virtual to bricks and mortar store doesn’t seem to add any value to the shopping experience.
