Bye bye roaming

My clients Vodafone have dun and gone something nicey…

No more silly prices for calls when you’re on holiday this summer.  Now you can blabber away like you would normally whilst lying on a beach.  Probably shouting down the phone:

‘I’m on the beach…. ….it’s rubbish’ 

 

It’s nice working on a brand that does something that’s easy to market.  Everyone likes holidays, everyone likes blabbering on their phones, therefore everyone will like blabbering on their phones on holiday: WIN.

If you ruled the world…

I’m not entirely sure what I would do if I ruled the world. Probably make David Tennent my boyfriend and have the rivers made of tea.  We at Dare with Vodafone have been busy asking facebook what they would do if they ruled the world and it seems that everyone has lots to say.  About 4000 comments in 2 days.  Some barking mad, some with dreadful spelling and shouty capitals, some heart warming, and some stomach churning.

What would you do if you ruled the world? Join the thronging masses and let Vodafone know.  The good (and doable ones) Vodafone will actually set about in making happen. Nice hey?

Where’s Live Guy?

The new campaign for Vodafone is now live.  And it’s just like Where’s Wally but with a real man and real prizes to be won instead of the private smug feeling inside you get when you spot the grinning idiot amongst the medieval bears dancing round a fireplace made of balloons.  Er right. Back to the plot.

 He is of course Live Guy and he’s racing around the country starting in Edinburgh this Monday 17th November with his trusty netbook hinting at his wearabouts via twitter, facebook; piscassa and youtube; and if that wasn’t enough a GPS tracker pings his location to a google maps doo-dar just to keep him on his toes.   What is he running from? You of course dear reader. And if you catch him (literally run up to him, grab him, and say the magic words) then you get a free netbook with built in mobile broadband from Vodafone.  Everyone likes a chase yes? Especially when there’s prizes and clues involved (and maybe a kiss if you’re lucky just like at school).

Hello Balloons

I spent most of my day faffing around with this balloon idiocy. I’m assuming everyone else in digital advertising did too because twitter was very quiet for the entire afternoon.

Apart from the almost breaking teh internest with the pesky flash it is actually marvelous. Well done POKE

Here’s my rather sad balloon. You can boost him too if you like here

You may notice that my bobbing balloon in the corner there is rather reluctant to join the race. And you should be noticing many balloons ambling across the page too. But no. Somehow I’ve been excluded. *Sad face* Never mind. I’m hoping the race just hasn’t reached me yet.

The game play itself is stupidly simple and slightly tedious. There’s no real chance of winning the big prize. Probably little chance of winning any of the other prizes actually. It is really about the ‘taking part’. But what is really brilliant about it is you can just dip in and out. A little bit of engagement; a little bit of silliness; and a whole heap of free advertising for Orange. I assume it will also sweep up a whole heap of gongs.

Nick joined in too. I loled.
