As a global group, everyday we do a lot of
things. Most of the things concern our
target users directly or indirectly. But
the thing is: Do our target audience know?
Unfortunately, most of the time, the answer is no.
So there’s a concrete example from Google!
Let the TA know first; then transform this energy into branding power! What’s more, Google has implemented nice
layers to tell a good story! A video first, plus with a nice flow of web site –
Clear and SMART!
Think we all dream
of meeting our beloved, favourite all time idols face to face. I cannot imagine
what if one day ever, I come across say Bob Dylan, Bjork, Jamie Oliver? I’ll be
fainting all over, for sure.
But what if we
could really meet the idols who were all long gone in this lifetime? We see
this hearty fancy like Midnight in Paris.
Killing me for Woody Allen this genius making
this movie to meet Gertrude
Stein, Earnest Hemingway, ScottFitzgerald, Pablo Picasso and More!
However, in this digital era, so cliché it might sound, Digital Domain
successfully brought back hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur resurrected onto the same
stage with Snoop Dogg at Coachella this year as well as Saatchi & Saatchi brought back Paul Arden, the
former creative director, at Cannes Lions in 2010.

Sacred, in awe, desecration, ethical? Will we one day meet
again Steve Job in WWD? Back to the cliché part, maybe In this digitized era, Resurrection
Stone or Mirror of Erised isn’t merely the holly treasure in J. K. Rowlling’s
novel. Not anymore.
母親節要到了,P&Q(Procter & Gamble)身為2012倫敦奧運的合作者,最近釋出了一支跟母親有關的廣告,廣告的開頭在天剛亮的清晨,母親們輕聲喚起熟睡中的孩子,準備早餐、送孩子上學、陪伴著孩子經歷每個階段的學習,而這些孩子就是在奧運中閃耀著光芒的選手,進而告訴大眾他們背後都有一位這樣偉大的母親,而這些孩子的成功正是母親最大的驕傲。最後P&Q再搭配文案「The hardest job in the world is the best job in the world. Thank you Mom.」。這個廣告的品牌操作其實很高招,它們都不說自己的品牌有多優秀、做過哪些善事,只是默默的敘述一個真實的故事,描寫母親的偉大,最後簡單的帶出P&Q推崇著這些母親的高尚情操,被感動的消費者,自動也會將這份情感轉移至品牌上,其實這樣低調的處理方式比高調的宣傳效果真的大很多,透過廣告的內容消費者已經知道P&G贊助了世界盛世「2012倫敦奧運」,而廣告傳遞出奧運選手因為有母親的支持而成功,而P&Q則是這些偉大母親的贊助商,也等於間接的告訴消費者P&Q肩負著最神聖的使命,其實最偉大的就是P&Q。P&Q的品牌宣傳真的很高明。
MOLESKINE(發音為mol-a-skeen'-a),源於法文鼴鼠皮的意思,它在二十世紀已經成為歐洲藝術家和知識份子手中的傳奇筆記本;梵谷(Vincent Van Gogh)曾經用過的7本Moleskine筆記本,目前收藏於荷蘭阿姆斯特丹的梵谷博物館,內容記載著無數手稿草圖甚至是名作的初稿。而這本流傳百年的筆記本其傳奇當然不僅如此,法國野獸派畫家馬諦斯(Henri Matisse)、現代藝術大師畢卡索(PabloPicasso)、超現實主義之父布列東(Andre Breton )等具代表性的藝術家與思想家,皆將無價的手稿、筆記、思想及生活點滴,收錄在這本小筆記本中。
若稱Moleskine為世界上最知名的筆記本品牌,其實也不為過吧!它起源於19世紀的法國,原由法國圖爾的小型家族企業製作,在當時深受藝術家與作家的青睞,但卻在1986年宣布結業並停產,讓許多愛用者扼腕不已。所幸在1997年一家米蘭出版商Modo & Modo SpA偶遇了Moleskine,決定讓它起死回生,並依照傳統手工製法保留原有的細節,如紮實耐用的油布封面、緊密的裝訂、奶油色紙張及彈性束繩,重現了 Moleskine的獨特氣質,並以「Moleskine」這個富傳奇色彩的名字延續傳說,還贏得筆記本界的LV美名。
