Barely Concealed Narcissism

Catching Up With ‘09: My way of making up for putting these posts off…for months at a time.

ATT’s digital out of home presence at pop star Demi Lovato’s summer tour was really my first major launch at my newest gig. We gave concert goers (and online participants) the opportunity to text or email messages and pictures to screens at the show, then provided them with a “playback” viewing of all the messages at that show. Users could go online after a concert and see a virtual replay of the DOOH screen. They could then capture the screen as an image and post it to Facebook.

Turns out 12-18 year old girls love to text. Who knew?

This campaign, one of Loca’s most successful in terms of user numbers, is a great example of engaging an otherwise bored [albeit captive] audience. AT&T had hundreds of eye balls staring at their brand; and by the end of the campaign their brand was on thousands of handsets (in the form of mobile text-backs).

Had a client request for Wiffiti that I’m surprised we hadn’t seen previously (at least not that I know of). Instead of just pulling in Flickr images, the client wanted to automatically display images posted to yFrog and TwitPic from relevant tweets.

Extremely simple solution that took me a bit to track down, simply because there were no explicit use cases coming up in my searches:
