Pepsi designs Beyoncé campaign. Pepsi has unveiled a global campaign featuring pop art style images of the one and only Beyoncé. This will appear on packs and in print advertising. I like it, and would probably buy it if this was on a big canvas! Beyoncé signed a $50million deal to be the face of Pepsi worldwide in Dec ‘12.

Coca-Cola give money away for free, and hope people use it for good.

This stunt by Coca-Cola happened a while back in Spain, December 2012.

The ATM—placed in different cities—had a simple message on its screen:

Get 100 euros (£66). Without card.

When people stopped and tapped Yes, the ATM took you through a few steps:

  • “But only if you agree to share it.” Of course, everyone tapped yes.
  • After that, the ATM asked if they needed any suggestions to share it. Many people tapped yes again.
  • The ATM gave several options, like “hire an storyteller for the kids in your neighbourhood” or “buy diapers to a pregnant woman.”
  • After that, the ATM gave the people an envelope with 100 euros in cash inside, asking them to share the experience, but with absolutely no obligation to actually share it.
  • People could just get the money and use it in any way they wanted.

However, things get better. That’s because the majority of people actually shared the money with others! In the video you can see some of the videos submitted, showing what they did. Diapers for women with kids, basketballs, tricycle, two theater tickets for an old couple, tortilla española to share with pedestrians in a cold night… and so on.

It’s a great way to bring happiness to people who didn’t expect or ask for it.

This is so amazing! Our Essex local, 101 year old Fauja Singh made it on the Chelsea Lately show about his marathon runs! He has run a number of marathons and even beat a bunch of us once (years ago) at a local sports event. We was all shocked when he ran past us, like we were turtles! Unfortunately, he will not be receiving his Guinness World Record for marathons run, as he doesn’t have a birth certificate - something common with old people from India - but holds a UK passport. C’mon guys, give the man a break!

Looking for a new job? Why don’t you apply to be the Pope.

 Yes, this is a fake job listing (I hope!). BUT… it did make me think how it’s a great way for LinkedIn to show how advertising for jobs using their website can bring in the best, targeted and experienced people, in an easier way compared to other websites which are clogged with mass amounts of job adverts.

Make sure to take note of the job requirements: infallibility, celibacy and strong problem solving skills are a must, and you’ll have to work Sundays.

It’s also quite the commitment, being the leader of the Catholic Church. You’ll really be putting your career over your personal life. But the listing does make it clear that you’ll receive dental coverage and eternity in heaven — seems like a pretty robust and reasonable benefits package.

Oh yeah and remember… make your application stand out, be creative and bold!

DoingSomething takes speed dating to new heights in London.

A great stunt took place tonight (Thursday 28th Feb) at the London Eye, whereby 250 single men, and 250 single women were randomly shoved into the themed capsules for a speed dating experience like no other.

The themes ranged from ping pong and silent disco to karaoke and cabaret.

Women’s tickets sold out early, with mens available until today still – priced at £29. After, you got to know your new friends better at the after-party which was included in the admission price, and you even got a one month subscription to DoingSomething.co.uk – which you would hopefully use to do something with your new match.

The stunt was supported by the hashtag #WheelOfDatewith many people using it as a great opportunity to check out who will be going, and what to expect. People have been using it all night to post pictures and tweets about people in the capsule, and @FancyDoingSomething? has been replying and engaging with everyone.

Here’s a little video:

The stunt was created by Frank PR.

Sometimes…

 

It can take something that affects your life, or the somebodies life around you, to appreciate your own life more. This kind of thing happened to me ages ago, but recently I’ve been reminded of it.

Now I don’t believe in god or anything, just in timing and that it can change you luck. (I would go into what I believe more but I don’t wanna bore anyone now.)

Sometimes an event can change your perspective on life. Why hold a grudge against a certain person, think wrong about someone, not befriend a person because of your first judgement etc. One day that person will disappear, whether it be by moving on and losing contact or leaving this earth completely, and you’ll be left wishing things didn’t end on such terms.

Life is all about getting to know people, and even though you might not click first time, sometimes it takes a few times to realise you have more in common with people than you think - you just didn’t give it enough time to discover it.

Live life how you want, don’t worry what people think about you, make your own decisions, talk to random people, act a ‘freak’, don’t fit in, live.

I see it as though we’re dying everyday, and its what you do from the now moment till the time your no longer present that can make it all worth it.

Cherish it and live it like there is no tomorrow, because one day there won’t be.
