Farmville roll out promotion with Green Giant

Over the last year social gaming on sites such as Facebook has exploded, with millions of people logging on and playing every day, and millions of pounds spend on virtual transactions to enhance their game play. Well now social gaming giant Farmville (currently with 65m users, and 20m playing daily) has teamed up with Green Giant placing Farmville Cash coupon stickers (for ‘5 free farm cash’) on selected products in 4,000 supermarkets across the US.




It was reported on Mashable that in the six week pilot for the promotion, which was launched in Target Fresh Grocery and Super Target stores, there were more than 100,000 in virtual Farm Cash redeemed using the stickers which appeared on 25 different Green Giant products. The promotion was then expanded to supermarket nationwide as a result of the success of the pilot.

It is great to see how the social gaming space has seen such a fantastic increase (despite the hundreds of daily updates in my news feed), and will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Cadbury create first round YouTube player

Cadbury Australia have collaborated with YouTube to launch their Cadbury Rollpack, by creating the first circular round YouTube player. As shown in the picture below the fully playable video is everything you would normally see on the site, with the exception of being a completely different shape.

Although this is nothing more than another quirky execution for Cadbury's Glass and a Half Full Productions branding activity, I still think it's pretty cool and another good example of using YouTube in an innovative way.
