Philips Wake-up Light: Wake up the Town
The campaign site is to be found here: http://www.wakeup.philips.com
The Wake-up Light from Philips is undergoing the ultimate test. In one of the world’s most northern places on earth, where the sun does not shine for four long winter months, lies the village of Longyearbyen in the Arctic Circle. Here, residents have each received a Wake-Up Light for thorough testing. Filmmaker Doug Pray, director of Art & Copy, is making a documentary of the experiment, plus five films of villagers. Tribal DDB Amsterdam developed the concept and created the Facebook environment and website, where you can follow the experiment, learn more about the town, and meet its residents.

Dont know how theyre gonna wake the town up, but it seems to be headed near to what tropicana did, bringing the sun to a small artic circle town. If it goes around a different direction, could turn out to be something great.

Yes, that's what I thought too.

Yeah, it has the potential to become totally amazing, I also hope they don't end up doing the same thing that Tropicana did for I hate to see "recycling" and repeated ideas. I also think they have a lot of confidence on their product, cause they are taking a big risk by announcing the documental and the experiment this way and not having it done yet, there's a lot at stake, I of course need to say that the idea itself has a very cool and powerful characteristic: interaction as a way of integration, that could end up being determinant if the product is not good enough by itself. It’s a good thing for society to follow this integration trend when making advertising, I think it’s part of our responsibility as communicators.
