If the internet is to be believed, the Japanese have a well-known predilection for certain kinds fetishistic thinking and behavior. Whether it's a penchant for knee socks or face farting (seriously), the Japanese take the definition of fetish to new levels.
So it is without surprise that a brand marketing to the Japanese would leverage a fetish or two. With its Axe Dry Hot Angle, which allows one to visit a site and get a low angle view of a few hot Japanese women, the brand has its bases covered.
During a press event, low angle cameras captured plenty of upskirt (and knee high stocking) action. A companion website allows visitors to use their webcam to do the same. We couldn't get our camera to do anything at all. Which is all well and good. We're perverted enough on our own. We don't need any help.
But AdVerve got it to work.

Australian Designer Chris Morgan, who thought Blackberry's recent "Be Bold" repositioning was hilarious, decided to take things a bit further. Morgan has created OldBerry and given it the tagline, "Be Old."
Throughout the site, he's taken Blackberry messaging and twisted it on its head telling company to "Don't Just Think. Retire" and "Wake Up Later."
Funny stuff. And, perhaps, foretelling of what is likely to actually happen to the Blackberry brand.
This looks interesting. FarFromHomepage is an Indiegogo project that aims to develop a tool that will allow people to remix anything from the web to create an interactive presentation. Viewers can choose to sit back and watch the show like a movie, or mouse over content that catches their eyes and actively browse it.

It's not sexy. Nor is it exciting. But it is Ovaltine's first foray into social media so let's go easy on them. Like a baby taking its first steps, Ovaltine decided not to bite off more than it could chew when it came up with a Facebook app that helps parents turn the adorable things their kids say into art.
Called Quotagraph, the app, created by Marcus Thomas, let's parents enter a quote and then choose a design. Yea, it's really that simple. The app will be promoted on the brand's Facebook page (obvi), banners on mom-focused sites and through promotional partnerships with mommy bloggers.
