With solutions for today’s challenges in traffic, energy, safety and more, IBM is striving towards a ‘Smarter Planet’. A vision that goes beyond a mere business proposition. IBM wanted to get this vision across in the Netherlands. But due to a limited communications budget IBM doesn’t use mass media. So how do you tell that IBM’s Smarter Planet vision is about working on new solutions to make our world better? We needed to communicate the message that IBM strives for a Smarter Planet in a simple and compelling way. Not by telling, but by experiencing. Building a Smarter Planet starts with challenging the status quo. Thinking in an unrestricted way about what can be improved. Like children do. They come up with surprising questions and original ideas. So to come up with smarter solutions, you have to think as free as children do. We wanted people to experience the effect of this fresh way of thinking. For this real life experiment we started asking children for smart ideas. Then we chose one of the ideas and executed it. The kid’s idea was to make street crossings safer by making the zebra crossing light up when you walk on it. We built one in the busiest street of Rotterdam and watched what happened. The unique execution with the flashing zebra crossing caught the attention of the public. In combination with the billboard explaining the kid’s idea, it made people realize anything can happen if you challenge the status quo. The billboard directed people to IBM’s Smarter Planet website to see more smart solutions that kids came up with. People reacted positively surprised. It made them realize we can make the world a bit better with smart solutions. And that’s exactly what IBM wanted to convey.

Facebook Page Link: http://www.facebook.com/plantlifebalance Facebook App Link: http://apps.facebook.com/plantlifebalance Ideaworks today launches the first phase of a five-year plan to help Australians improve their Plant/Life Balance. We’re all familiar with the idea of improving our Work/Life balance. Well, it turns out that improving our Plant/Life balance can also have beneficial effects on our health and wellbeing. Scientific studies have proved that exposure to plant life can improve our air quality, lessen our stress levels, and reduce background noise. The campaign is designed to stimulate the growth of the $6.5 billion gardening and nursery business in Australia. This first part of the five-year campaign, on behalf of the Nursery & Garden Industry Association, will see the distribution of 20,000 pot plants to office workers in capital cities across the country, calling for Australians to ‘Put A Plant On Your Desk’. Each plant will invite its new owner to join the ‘Put A Plant On Your Desk’ app, the most ambitious Facebook app in Australia to date. And those unlucky enough not to be given a plant on the day, can easily join in the fun. Over the next twelve weeks, the app users can give their plants a name, share pix, dress them up, take them out to lunch (yes!), win amazing prizes and find out lots of cool facts about their very own plant … and tips on how to look after it. And for those who don’t have already have a plant, a Plant Matcher will identify your ideal plant partner!
