DOGS CRUISING AROUND..."SPCA is an organisation searching for new homes for thousands of homeless dogs.

STICK AND FIND"StickNFind is a very small sticker that you can put on any of the things you donʻt want to lose anymore. For instance you can tag your keys or TV remote control with the sticker and locate them in real time via a radar on your smartphone. To make the search even easier itʻs also possbile to let the sticker buzz or light up. !Another funny use case presented in the StickNFind video is tagging your young kidʻs shoes when going to the playground. The application sends an immediate alert if your child is more than 100 meters away. So itʻs actually a nice tool for young mommies too.!Via: http://www.adverblog.com/2012/12/07/never-lose-your-keys-again/!

LEARN TO WRITE"In India over 40% of the country is illiterate. Door Step School is an NGO that aims to encourage people to learn to write. To motivate people, the best way is to let them experience how it feels when you are literate. For this reason Leo Burnett India came up with the idea to turn the symbol of illiteracy into an ink pad with different cut-outs of the Hindiʻs alphabet. Thus people were able to write their name by using their thumb as a writing tool. This experience and joy of being able to write evoked a spirit in peopleʻs mind to join the program of Door Step School.!Via: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/dm/door_step_school_ink_pad!

THE TWITTER RACE"To increase engagement of VW Polo followers in the social media space, a Spanish agency developed a digital strategy to make VW Polo the first topic of twitter conversations for a day. Therefore they invented the hashtag „Polowers“, a mixture of „Polo“ and „Followers“. To generate traffic they created a digital race. By using the hashtag in your tweet you could take the lead for the time until someone else used the hashtag. At a random time the race stopped and the current leader won the VW Polo. Within 8 hours VW Polo became the first topic of conversations on twitter. They even beat Justin Bieber and apparently thatʻs quite something!!Via: http://www.adverblog.com/2012/12/12/volkswagen-the-polowers/!

STORE 3.0 - SEAMLESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCES"Over the last years the experiences of shopping ran through significant changes. Conditioned by the birth of the internet and social media platforms, todayʻs shopping is driven by a higher social component due to all the reviews, ratings and recommendations you can find in the internet and social media. This so-called „digital word of mouth“ has proven to be stronger than classic advertising.!As a matter of fact people still search for a physical shopping experience, but with a seamless integration of online worlds. According to Deloitte analysts this seamless model is called Store 3.0 – and is the future of retail.!

I KNOW YOU!"Everyone should know that all the information from facebook, twitter and surveys are saved and that today people are similar to glass- namely transparent. Nowadays it has nothing to do with super powers to know everything about a person. This video reveals what goes on behind the scenes, drawing peopleʻs attention to the fact that their entire life can be found online. Itʻs a powerful reminder to everyone to be careful.

HOW MUCH DOES THE END OF THE WORLD COST?"Dec. 21, the Mayan Calendar´s end date have dominated the media and plenty of theories about what will really happen have scattered. But the interesting part about this phenomen is how much money people can make with the end of the world. `End of the world packages´ which includes hotel or Mayan inspired spa treatments were made for people who believe in the end of the world and also want to experience this event. But also people who didn´t believe in the apocalypse didn´t pass up a golden opportunity to celebrate a party.

BRANDS THAT WILL MAKE THEIR MARK IN 2013"In this interesting article below, John Nunziato gives a forecast on brands with a high potential to make their mark in 2013. One of his first picks is the notorious car marker Jaguar, that is about to play a big role in the luxury carmaker category this year. It is hitting the market with its iconic but also innovative design and new fuel efficient technologies. Another interesting brand to watch in 2013 is the shoe maker „Clarks Shoes“, that stands for simplicity, solid old world style and affordable pricing. Having a great celebrity fan base with stars like Robert Pattinson having their back, 2013 could really turn into a wake-up call for this quieter brand. !The whole article is found here: http://popsop.com/60128!

ANNUALLY THE SAME"Every year on the 31st of December people are asked about their intentions and changes for the next year. But has it always to be the start of the year to restart issues or unlearn bad habits? Making changes can happen all the time- if you really want to! For example: One of the most intentions for the next year is to lose weight. When the spring begins many people do the `spring cleaning.´ So why don´t brands which advertise diet products or fitness studios use this time to change peopleʻs lifes too, as opposed to focusing on the 1st of January? Maybe under the slogan: ‚Spring clean yourselfʻ. Following on from this food for thought..... ! ! !!
