3. Coupon billboards in USA

Trying to help consumers through the recession, James Ready beer and Leo Burnett in

Toronto made deals with local retailers to offer "billboard coupons." The idea was: You

could snap photos of the coupons, redeem them at the local businesses and have lots of

money left over—which you should then not spend wisely like a responsible impoverished

person but piss away on cheap beer. Presumably, if your financial situation gets

even bleaker, you could always move on to the hard liquor.

4. Cut out the middle man Fishermen in Tokyo Bay have been actively using Fuud TV, a new website built by a Japanese start-

up aiming to develop solutions supporting businesses in agriculture and the fishery

business.The site is geared towards connecting fishermen

directly with seafood buyers. The primary content is videos and photos of the morning’s catches and prices. There is an added value in that fishermen have been giving cooking and

nutritional recommendations, creating a more engaging commercial environment.

Additionally, similar to a local farmer’s market, the website enables fisherman to circumnavigate

fish brokers and the auctioneers making it cheaper for buyers. The website also enables

visitors to place orders before 9am to get fresh fish delivered to their homes within 12 hours.

Students from the Berghs School of Communication in Sweden have

launched a social experiment that is perfectly themed to attract some serious attention! They are creating a live piece of

artwork at Don’t Tell Ashton, a new website that holds the profile images of people who

re-tweeted the campaign page in scale to their twitter following, the more followers, the bigger your profile picture features in the

artwork. And according to the students, the only person who could fill the entire frame

is Ashton himself.
