The Silent Song Contest

People are known to let loose and sing like crazy in their cars. So for the launch of the new Renault Clio, Belgian ad agency, Boondoggle turned this curious human behavior into a Facebook game.

A series of online videos were posted on Facebook that had various Clio drivers singing…the only catch being the sound had been removed. To participate, players had to lip read and guess the correct song as quickly as possible. The player with the most correct guesses at the end of the promotion won the Clio!

Opel Movano Banner

To promote the Opel Movano Van range, McCannLowe created a banner that is both useful and innovative. Working just like websites such as YouSendIt or WeTransfer, the banner allowed users to upload up to 2 GigaBytes of file in the rear of the van and then send it to someone across the web. The recipients would then receive an email to download the file and learn about the Opel Movano.

Simple, practical and spot-on target.

Euro RSCG Check-in

Guerilla recruitment via social channels is gaining popularity amongst leading agencies. In this recent example Euro RSCG Brussels has used Foursquare to seek out digital talent.

The team at Euro RSCG drove around Brussels everyday and checked in at all leading agencies. After they became the ‘Mayor’ of the targeted agencies, they released their recruitment messages… 🙂

Other examples of agencies using social media to attract talent are:
