The Swedish Patent and Registrations Office wanted us to help decrease the use of illegal streaming sites by changing people’s mindset about them. Tough one, as we all love streaming films and series. Some of us love it even more when it’s free of charge. But what we probably didn’t know is that loads of these streaming sites are run by networks of organized crime. So by enjoying ‘2 ½ Men’ for free, you indirectly support the dodgy weapons and drugs biz. Not cool.

Kelly Tarlton’s SEA LIFE Aquarium and animal trainer Mark Vette taught an octopus to take photos on a Sony TX30 underwater camera in New Zealand. Rambo, a female octopus, was a quick learner too. It only took three attempts for her to understand the process, that’s faster than a dog, actually it’s faster than a human in some instances. The Octographer currently lives at Kelly Tarlton’s SEA LIFE Aquarium in Auckland, New Zealand where visitors will be able to make a $2 donation, with all proceeds going back to the SEA LIFE Conservation Fund, an organization dedicated to the protection of marine wildlife and conservation.

Spykar, one of India’s leading denim brands, wanted to excite the country's digitally-hooked youth with its Autumn Winter ’15 Collection: the indigo dyed Spykar Blue Collection. Like most youngsters, Indian youth are on the lookout for adult content, online. Incidentally, in India, porn films are called Blue Films. This inspired a nationwide prank - India's first ever blue film festival. 10 digital films with international models clad in Spykar's Blue collection were shot. The twist was - their denims were pixelated - making these videos look like adult content. These teasing videos, shared on social media, helped grab the attention of the youth of India. Ultimately, the videos were un-pixelated, revealing the stylish Blue collection. Results: Brand’s boldness-quotient and youth-connect increased | Twitter: Trended #1 | Reach: Over 40 million people | Store footfalls: 50% increase.
