whiskey your way



Just like you can crate your own wine, now the Mississippi River Distilling Company is allowing people to take it a bit further and allowing you to create your own whiskey, by choosing all the ingredients, and then custom making a full barrel of it for you. Complete with a custom-name label. 

Probably lasts a lot longer than the custom wine, too.

don't qr - er, text - and drive


QR code and interesting or effective don't always go together - but in this case, they do. Toyota created a QR code that illustrated the dangerous impacts of texting while driving: when users hold their phones up to the print ads with the QR codes to reveal the content, all they see is the road in the ad with the QR code removed. The hook: the QR codes were on objects in the road that you might otherwise miss if you text while driving, like a kid trying to fetch a ball.

buycott



The socially conscious shopper, you know the type, they won't shop at Walmart or wear shoes made out of anything other than hemp. Well now there's the perfect app for those who would like to know exactly what it is that they're buying, and which parent company it benefits. The Buycott app is newly available for iPhone and Android that allows you to scan the barcode of an item, letting you trace it back to its parent company. Though it aids the boycott of Monsanto and Koch Brothers’ companies, the app was designed to be politically neutral user base. The downside to this app? For the ultra socially conscious the app could actually make it difficult to buy items as simple as cereal and toothpaste.

persecuted by your Facebook



What if you lived in a country where you were jailed, beaten, or worse, killed for saying seemingly harmless things. It happens all over the world, but living in free countries like the good 'ole US of A, we take our liberties for granted.

To make you aware of these injustices, this powerful application, called Trial by Timeline from Amnesty International New Zealand, scans your Facebook profile and determines how many times you'd be tortured based on the things you say.

I had 161 convictions. How many did you have?

A life of love in "85 seconds"



About a year ago we shared a sweet little stop motion video of Getty stock images that told a love story. Well this is the even sweeter follow up, called 85 seconds, that follows a love story from childhood through adulthood. Again from AlmapBBDO.

hate across America



For almost a year now Monica Stephens, an assistant professor at Humboldt State, has been analyzing over 150,000 tweets for words of hate (homophobia, racism, etc.) and plotted them out on an interactive heat map of the US to see where the most hate is being spewed.

What do you think? Is the hate concentrated where you expected?

special discovery channel button

Discovery Button from Antonio Correa on Vimeo.
With so many channel options for viewers, it’s difficult to grab the attention. The Discovery Channel was one of the many getting lost in the shuffle so they tasked Publicis Brasil with breaking away from the channel pack! What better place to reach the viewers then right inside their home, better yet, directly on their TV remotes. In partnership with a major Pay TV operator in Brazil, all new customers received a remote with a special “Discovery” button that linked directly to the Discovery channel!
