Touch over the internet - Durex Fundawear

It was predicted back in 1993 in the movie "Demolition Man" (where it was also predicted with a good 20 years of advance the political career of Schwarzenegger, btw), but finally humanity caught up with its own imagination

Future!

Durex is actively working on an app and (hardware) technology that synchronizes two cellphones ("his" and "hers") with each others underwear - a touch on the screen is transmitted in real time with a stimulus to the partner's lingerie, taking the "phone sex" concept to a whole new level!

The initiative is obviously supported by the expected behind the scenes video, basic advertising and everything we may need (a dedicated channel on youtube, a deep dive on the technology used, etc).

The buzz is here already (the news got full media coverage), but what's interesting is that this kind of app may not be relegated only to a pure show off or marketing stunt from Durex, it really has the potential to at least pick the curiosity of more than one potential customer: be it because is fun, or because...it works!

As a bonus feature, the "original" virtual sex moment in pop culture, starring Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock...enjoy!

There's market for everything

By looking at the images below, one may look for a punchline or ironic payoff...but there's nothing like this awaiting at the end of the post: these are plain and simple examples of advertising for men lingerie.

Until now, a men who enjoys to wear something like this was forced to wear women lingerie, but this incredible gap in the marketplace is finally filled...

...and the communication masterminds can start working on the most direct piece of advertising ever conceived, to satisfy even the last untouched market niche. 

The "va va voom" button!

The competitive environment of the automotive segment calls for extreme measures in terms of advertising: since it's not always possible to compete on a technical\quality level, the communication mostly revolves around sending an emotional message instead of a purely rational one

A nice example of this choice taken to the extreme is the following video for Renault Clio, where the subtlety of the "emotional" message is discarded in favour of a more explicit "va-va-voom" to demonstrate...well, basically nothing other than "va-va-voom", which can be translated to "generic emotional message"

Still, the complete absence of anything resembling rational value and the whole spectacle created for the AD (being it true or not) grants it a place on the blog

One last tidbit of info: As always in this pseudo-viral videos, the choice of the exact preview frame, is NEVER casual...

...as you can see by the second video, aimed to a different audience but a similar frame!

Why using a common billboard to show up your sexy-ladies-based-product, when the male body has plenty of surfaces to do the same?

Lynx pursues brand awareness by...hiding his ADs in plain sight - it might seem a paradox, but as the video shows, a bunch of people looking at "nothing" can generat definitely more buzz than a couple of persons looking at a billboard!
