Burt’s Bees lauched an original campaign reiventing the concept “Before & After”. Instead of two pictures juxtaposed, the brand has created a billboard covered with discount coupons so that people passing by can really discover little by little the benefits of the product “after” removing each coupon.

The ex- lover blocker App
Everyone knows how hard is to end a relationship, but also how easy could be to make a big mistake and call her again. The ex-lover block is the new application that helps you not to call your ex girlfriend. Download the application, block your ex girlfriend number and choose those friends going to protect you.
In case of relapse, if you call her again, the application blocks the call and simultaneously sends a message to your friends. It’s time for redemption but if you can’t redeem, a message will appear on to your Facebook wall saying you are a looser.

“The Unfinished” – A music expedition
Do you remember the legendary story of the 8 musicians waiting until the bitter end of the Titanic? In these days, 100 years later, the world commemorates over 1500 victims of that tragedy caused by the collision with an iceberg in the Ocean. To honor the “White Star Band”, 8 musicians from Konzerthaus Dortmund decided to take part in a special expedition. On a cruise ship, they went on stage in the North Atlantic Ocean, to finish the last song of the Titanic’s band.
“The Unfinished” is the idea developed by Jung von Matt / Neue Elbe. As 100 years ago, led by a conductor, four violinists, two cello players and a bassist. On April 15th, exactly at 02:20 o’clock, they played the last song, “Nearer My God to Thee“. Their performance was recorded live and then digitally transferred to a buoy, which played the perfect song to loop under water, as a constant reminder of the deceased Titanic band.
The journey is documented in the blog http://www.the-unfinished.de and on Facebook.
