It might seem like we are cola-crazed lately, but the reality is that the beverage market is just rocking out great designs and collaborations. This limited time one–off golden bottle, available at Selfridges, features a specially designed football (soccer) print to honor this popular international sporting event.
About a year ago, we wrote about the Urban PacMan taking the streets of Lyon, France. It's not surprising that that video made the rounds and new groups are popping up.
Back in April of 2009, we hypothesized that a technology company might want to use this as a promotional tactic. A year later, we're clarifying our projection: it's a perfect fit for mobile or smart phone launch.
Do you know of any BIG launches in the mobile industry? Tell them you got the idea from Trendscaping.
