Audi put up wild animal figures on roads at night to demonstrate the benefits of its night vision technology without requiring people to own an Audi. Ford ran an Instagram campaign called Fiestagram where people submitted photos with hashtags about Ford Fiesta features for weekly and overall prizes of a Ford Fiesta. Durex's ad showed turntables playing a song at different speeds that synchronize to showcase its condoms designed to create mutual climax, and had an associated Facebook game. Kraft had people tweet Valentine's messages with #voiceoflove to be voiced by Ted Williams in a donation campaign for charity. Purina Pro Plan's campaign at Westminster Dog Show aims to help owners unlock their dogs' greatness using breed profiles

6. 3. Durex – syncing the sexes
The campaign which is on Youtube shows two turntables playing 'Let's Get it
On' by Marvin Gaye at two different speeds, which slowly become in-sync
with each other to play the track coherently.
The ad is intended to emulate the properties of the new Durex Performax
Intense Condoms, which is described as "slowing him down and speeding
her up", designed to create a mutual climax for both partners.
The activity is being supported by a Facebook game called "How in-sync are
you?".
allowing consumers to be "in-sync" with their virtual gaming partner.
It will feature well-known tracks that consumers will need to speed up or slow
down in order to hear them correctly.
Couples will need to stay in-sync for 10 seconds to prove their "virtual
connection”.

Editor's Notes
Chrysler, like General Motors, was headed for the junk heap before the Bush and Obama administrations rode to the rescue with $12.5 billion from U.S. taxpayers. Now, both are roaring back from near death-hiring workers and posting strong profits. In January, the American auto industry put the pedal to the metal, selling cars at the fastest pace in nearly four years. (Chrysler has repaid all but $1.3 billion.)Ironically enough, Eastwood-the former Republican mayor of Carmel, Calif., opposed the bailout, telling the Los Angeles Times in 2010: “We shouldn’t be bailing out the banks and car companies. If a CEO can’t figure out how to make his company profitable, then he shouldn’t be the CEO.”
