You guys know I love a good vending machine, and while this one probably isn’t as cool as most of the ones we post here on Digital Buzz, it does get bonus points for being innovative for a standard machine,but also because the idea matches the message so perfectly. I think they may have gone [...]

This is a great stunt from Antarctica Beer during the 2013 Carnival in Rio, where they’ve turned typical train turnstiles into beer-can reading machines, which essentially turns any Antarctica Beer into a free train ticket to get you home after a long day/night partying!

Another cool YouTube play from Volkswagen, with this ‘Hidden Frame’ being used to promote their new side assist feature. The Ad utilises a standard YouTube feature, which is the ‘frame view’ when you mouse over the timeline… This isn’t extremely innovative, but it’s a pretty smart and fun way to get the message across. What [...]

Here’s a brilliant Ad Shell idea designed to raise awareness for Child Abuse, but also to communicate directly to the child (complete with phone number to call), without the parents or potential aggressors even knowing.
