Who cares?

The Swedish Armed Forces needed to recruit young people to an occupation that in many ways requires you to give up your own comfort in order to help others. To highlight this aspect ad agency DDB Stockholm created a digitally integrated event in Stockholm to see how far people were willing to go for one another.

For this unusual and gutsy social marketing experiment, a person agreed to sit in a small boxed room and give up his freedom. The whole thing was then live-streamed over the internet and nobody via any social media channel could help him. The only way to help was to physically take his place yourself.

Would you have entered that room?

Interactive “Pick N’ Play” Billboard

DDB Stockholm has created another interactive outdoor campaign for McDonald’s Sweden called Pick N’ Play. This time they bring Pong-like fun into their latest interactive outdoor effort.

Passersby’s are invited to use their mobile phones as controllers to a fun and interactive challenge where they can play for their favorite McDonald’s treat. If they last for more than 30 seconds, they score a coupon earning them free fast food at a nearby McDonald’s.

Last year they had challenged pedestrians to take pictures of McDonald’s food to get it for free.
