Okay, this is pretty amazing. AlmapBBDO produced this spot, which uses 873 Getty stills to tell a man’s life story. And I didn’t realize it before reading the YouTube comments, but the creative team slipped a few Easter eggs in there as well. I don’t know if this will improve your perception of stock photography, but the spot itself looks sure to win major awards.

(via Nike Turned a Building into a Music App at SXSW | Evolver.fm)
Nike attached FuelBands to concertgoers watching Diplo and Sleigh Bells playing at SXSW 2012. The Austin building would turn greener when the crowd got more energetic, and red when vice versa.
Great great marketing one-off.
CoffeeCompany WiFi headlines.
Holland’s largest chain of coffee shops is called CoffeCompany. They wanted to attract more students, so they installed WiFi in some of its stores near universities. The problem is, lots of students just come into the store for the WiFi but hardly look at the menu.
So CoffeeCompany decided to move the store’s menu into the WiFi menu of customers’ laptops. They periodically changed the wireless network name from the normal “CoffeeCompany” to hard-selling headlines. So as students looked for a network, they found menu lines such as “mmm….YummyMuffinsOnly1,99″
