Food for thought: The spy who sold out
Forgiving a pretty face
Facebook to agencies: how will people share your story?
Is “The Pitch” an accurate reflection of our industry?
Here’s a nice little present from American Express in Australia. Every American Express cardholder was sent a “Talking Tag” which they could include with any of their gifts. Cleverly, the tag directs them to a site for an augmented reality experience customized (somewhat) just for them.
Using your webcam to scan the card, lips appear telling whether the gift’s recipient has been naughty or nice. Choosing from eight different voices ranging from a surly “scot” to “nanna,” they will get a gift message that’s sure to conjure a smile.
Interested in downloading your own set of tags? You can choose and print them out here.
Full disclosure, the interface is a little slow, the messages a little uninspired and the voice stereotypes a bit tired. But hey, it’s Christmas.
