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.
