George Costanza bringing Google Wallet to a phone near you – tomorrow

Google have been running a TVC featuring the famous scene from Seinfeld where George experiences a wallet fail. The good news is that Google Wallet is launching tomorrow (Tuesday September 19). The bad news (for now) is that it seems it will only be limited to Mastercard and Nexus S 4G… but things on Android tend to move fairly quickly, so expect this to expand very soon – you’ll be tapping your phone to pay for things in no time.

UN Voices – triple layer communication

This is an older campaign, but is a great example of how to design a communication framework.

Channel mix was a convergence of print, outdoor, mobile and digital.

In terms of user interaction, it works on three levels:

1. Awareness – you can see the ad in print or outdoor and get the gist of the message

2. Engagement – take a photo of the persons mouth on your mobile and you receive a phone call from them, telling you their story (all proceeds from the calls went to the relevant charity)

3. Involvement – go online to see more stories and to contribute your own – User Generated Content that contributes directly to the campaign idea
