Blippar – Making QR Codes Seem Like Yesterday’s News

26 05 2011

Here I am trying to convince clients how QR Codes, this new means of marketing and advertising is the way forward; and along comes Blippar. Blippar seems to be the next big thing when it comes using mobile augmented reality for interactive marketing and advertising.

How it works – As the Blippar people put it: “The Blippar™ platform uses the latest image recognition technology to make the advert itself the trigger for the virtual content. What the content consists of… is totally brand dependent.”   …which is kind of like a QR Code, but not exactly.

This technology really does take pull advertising to the next level and will serve greatly for creative multichannel marketing campaigns. Let’s see if Blippar will be the QR Code killer after all. The best way to understand how it works and its possibilities is by checking out the video below:






Google Chrome Advertising?

Google, a fun loving company that has always relied in non-traditional marketing and PR campaigns is now doing (fun of course) TV and YouTube ads for its new web browser, Google Chrome.

Makes me wonder, why would a company that non-traditional mediums has been working well for creating a viral effect for its products is now resorting to methods that are slowly perceived as more outdated? Is it innovation, desperation or altogether trying something different?

(Either way Google, I’ll always love ya)
