Indeed Launches Ads In Canada

Photo Source: Strategy

There are many channels through which job seekers can find their next opportunity and Indeed’s search engine for job postings ranks at the top. It’s an easy to use and efficient resource that has helped me discover many openings.

Indeed is currently focusing on global expansion and therefore decided to produce more ads like last year’s ‘How The World Works’ video, which aired in Australia, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S. The ads were made by Mullen Lowe, and Mediacom is handling the media buy.

IKEA Grabs Life By The Catalogue

IKEA is known for creating innovative experiences for shoppers and their latest attempt is no exception. They’re jumping on the branded vending machine bandwagon (something we’ve seen brands like Essie do before) and offering a contest that’s powered by Twitter to promote the latest edition of their catalogue.

The vending machine is going on tour across Canada until the end of the month. When you tweet a PIN displayed on the vending machine, you will instantly win a prize such as a gift card, restaurant voucher or toy. One shopper tweeted a photo of the stuffed bear she received, which makes me curious to learn what else is inside the vending machine. It sounds like simple instructions for anyone with a Twitter account. The designated hashtag #GrabLifeByTheCatalogue is kind of long, but it clearly communicates the purpose of the campaign.

Domino’s Trains Customers To Be Emoji Literate

As far as I’m concerned, pizza is always a good decision. Whether it’s a late night snack or a work lunch, pizza always hits the spot. My go-to is Pizza Pizza for taste and convenience, but now that I’ve seen Domino’s latest marketing stunt, they’re definitely on my radar and deserve to be on yours too.

Dominos has targeted millennials and their families by creating emoji flashcards to enable more consumers to be emoji literate. This was such a brilliant gimmick that the flashcards were all claimed instantly. That said, I can’t comment on how many they produced. However, you can still print your own flashcards from their campaign website.

Vroom Vroom For Volkswagen

To keep things fresh and exhilarating online, Volkswagen has launched a virtual recording studio. Business Insider reports that the inspiration behind the campaign was imagination. “We now have the power of technology to enhance our imagination, and to visualize the power of our voice,” says Volkswagen of America VP of marketing Vinay Shahani.

While promoting their Golf R, Volkswagen presents users with the chance to record themselves making car noises and then pairs the recording with a video of a car outside. Each recording is only ten seconds long, but it seems anything but short when you’re filming it. I invite you to check it out and challenge yourself to make epic car sounds.

Travel With The Blue Jays

Expedia partnered with the Blue Jays to build an online hub that lets fans easily see when the Jays are playing elsewhere and book a trip to see the away games with just a few clicks. Expedia always encourages customers to book airfare and accommodations together for better deals and baseball games provide a smart opportunity for them to engage travellers.

Their latest ads, which were produced by Grip, feature the team’s cute mascot Ace. ‘Wake Up Call’ has a funny front desk attendant who shouts bird noises into the phone to wake up Ace and in ‘Passport,’ we see Ace going through security with a suitcase that only looks big enough to fit his shoes.
