Advert: Are you going bald?

Rethink Canada has created this interesting piece of guerilla marketing for Panorama Hair. The company decided to stick mirrored stickers to the inner roofs of buses highlighting the effects of the recessive male gene. If you didn't think you were going bald before.. maybe now is time to a take a second look.

The Future: Social Media at 100,000 ft


Dutch airline KLM has just announced a service called "Meet and seat". Customers can now check who's on their flight before they leave and find fellow passengers on social media. The service allows you to add people on LinkedIn and Facebook and aims to encourage conversations between passengers. This leads to the age old question, can social sites tell us too much? If a stranger knows my name, place of work and where I'm going, I may not want to be in the same room as him/her. Let alone be on the same flight.
What are your thoughts?

Amazing: Real life Mario Kart

Nathanial Stehley won the Gamestop Mario Kart competition, the prize was this real life Mario Kart to cruise around town in. The vehicle was designed by the Pimp My Ride crew and looks like a great way to get from A to B. Whether this is road legal or not is another question.

Advert: Kungfu Panda

A great piece of guerilla marketing. Background: Guerrilla marketing was first introduced to the world by Jay Conrad Levinson. The technique has been used by a host of companies trying to make you stop and stare. Usually the campaigns are low budget and placed in the popular streets, shopping centres and train stations. With every mum, dad and dog having a camera phone these days the message is normally spread quickly to a host of different people on the internet.
