junk food patches
Danone Corpus Light created a spoof ad featuring Junk Food patches to help people stick to their diet.
Step 1: Place on Patch. Step 2: drink a Danone Corpus Light. That simple.
I'll take the super-size combo sticker please. (Who wants to bet this is an actual product in say, the net 10 years?)

be a tourist in your own city
In Sweden, Västtrafik, the company who manages their public transportation system, created an app that allows people to get a virtual tour of places and sights outside the subway along their commute, using the GPS in the phone.
Ok - so this app probably wouldn't work so well on New York subways (and coming up ahead, another rat), but interesting nonetheless (maybe for walking around the city) and a good advertising opportunity for local companies too.

a bear-y good car offer
Car companies usually employ lots of gimmicks to get people to buy cars, but this takes the pic-a-nic basket.
In Sweden, Volkswagen had a special offer on their 4Motion cars, best suited for handling wintery conditions, that only ended when a hibernating bear woke up. They had a webcam on the bear so you could watch him slumbering all winter, and a 'pool' where users could guess when the offer would end for a chance to win a grand prize.
Not sure what the bear got out of the gig - a new car maybe? Or maybe just some honey.

peugeot rocks pinterest
So their client from Peugeot came to them and said, "hey my brand is cool, I want to be in social media." So instead of just creating a Facebook page, a Twitter account, and a Foursquare venue (which they did) the crew at DDB Panama decided this was a brand that needed to be on Pinterest. By creating boards for each of their cars and inviting people to pin on them then tying the Pinterest activity into Facebook and Twitter, Peugeot grew their social media presence by leaps and bounds. Depending on your point of view you will applaud the clever use of the new media that Pinterest is, or you'll will see it as the next social media network to be over-run by brands. Nevertheless, when you can create global brand awareness from a tiny country like Panama, you know you've got yourself a great case study.
