Evian Roller Babies

Here's a video ad that went viral quickly. Interestingly, Evian displays a gentle product slide at the start and then the end of the video, leaving the viewer with just a slight reminder that the entertainment is associated with a product ad. The downside of this relatively effective technique of course, is that companies need to invest heavily to develop entertaining content like this, for the consumer market.

IdeaPaint - Now Any Surface is a Whiteboard

We at Brave Boat Studios Love this - From CNN Money.com:


(CNNMoney.com) -- In 2002, a group of Babson College entrepreneurship students ran out of room on their whiteboard. They had spent hours brainstorming new business possibilities, and the sudden space crunch threatened to cramp their creativity.



Instead, it sparked a new idea: Why not make paint that turned walls into giant whiteboards? The ideas kept popping: you could paint chairs, doors, tabletops, playrooms, entire corporate offices. Any surface could be a canvas for inspiration. The company would be called IdeaPaint.
