Volkswagen Brazil ran a successful viral campaign for their Fox model car. They hid tickets to a music festival across the city and displayed their locations on a Google Maps microsite. The map started fully zoomed out and could only be zoomed in by users generating tweets with a campaign hashtag. This drove engagement and within 2 hours the hashtag became the top trend in Brazil, helping users locate tickets in the real world by foot.

2. C 1. Setting the record Straight For a small sum of money (well small in celeb land) people who have been misrepresented finally have the chance to set the record straight. It costs only $1,500 a year to subscribe to icorrect.com where celebs can correct the lies that have been spouted about them in the press/online etc. Pity they don’t take advertising as we could have a lot of fun here….

8. 4. Volkswagen fox: twitter zoom campaign Volkswagen Brazil recently sponsored the biggest music festival in Sao Paulo, the (sold out) Planeta Terra Festival, where they decided to promote their coolest young car, the Fox, through a mashup of Twitter, Google maps and real world prize locations. VW hid secret tickets across the entire city, and Then displayed them on a microsite using Google Maps. The catch was, the map was zoomed all the way out and the only way to zoom in was to have the community band together using the #foxatplanetaterra hash tag, and the more tweets made, the more the map would zoom in, ultimately revealing the pinpoint location of each ticket. At which point it became a foot race in the real world to find them, day and night for 4 days. In less than 2 hours, the campaign #hastag became the #1trending topic in Brazil, where it stayed for the length of the campaign.

They used paint and seeds to make a mural that would grow to promote lipton green tea. Really nice video and story and making the streets more colourful definitely ties in with their ‘positive projects’ strategy…nice soundtrack too!
