YouTube and National Geographic are providing creative eco-minds from around the world to take part in a unique Planet Inspired competition focused on nature and win worthy prizes. The core idea of the initiative is to spread the word about the importance of eco protection among the video-hosting website visitors with the help of… their own creativity. The participants of the contest are encouraged to submit their video collages highlighting one of the four themes—Oceans, Endangered Species, Fresh Water, or Exploration—to raise awareness about the problem and call the people who will be watching the film to active action.
It seems that over a few years, we will not have to go to the cinema or even take a disc to watch a movie—everything will be online and for free. Last Friday, 27 August, YouTube launched another free movie section, this time in the UK, inviting people to watch hits of the film industry for free and without any time limitations on the web. To date, there are more than 400 full-length movies of various genres, including action, horror, comedy and animated films, with yet more to come.
YouTube pays a tribute to beauty with a launch of L’Oréal Paris sponsored channel. The new hub Destination Beauty, which was opened last week, is designed as a platform for tips from industry gurus (make-up tutorial phenom Lauren Luke, makeup artist Kandee Johnson, and Seventeen Magazine). During a period of a year the page will be constantly updated with new spots, and maybe over some time this online destination will eventually turn into one of the favourite digital spaces for both consumers (any woman 18 to 54, the target audience) and beauty professionals.
Kia Soul US is encouraging social media fans to become the next big stars on YouTube and win good money from the car manufacturer. Through its new contest «Who’s Next!», the auto brand is inviting every US resident of 18 years or older to upload their unconventional videos to the official YouTube channel of Kia or via Facebook for a chance to become the new viral-maker champion.
All the roads lead to Rome—or to YouTube, when we talk about the area of commercials. Most of the spots, created to promote big and small brands, eventually appear on YouTube and are steamed either through corporate or individual channels. To make it easier for ad developers or industry fans to browse the related content on the world’s most popular video hub, YouTube launched the official “Show & Tell” channel, which comes as the “home of the best creative marketing examples.”
Vegetarians, close your eyes. The new online project “Perfunkt” developed by the Huge studio and the Department of the 4th Dimension production company for AEG-Electrolux, which specializes in producing gas and electrical kitchen appliances, is dedicated to those who love meat,— now you can open one eye—crusty bread, and many more, including martinis and pancakes.
