We wanted to finally raise positive discussion around the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, Finland. In our advertising, we used actual critiques from discussion forums and newspapers and then added the “Make a better one yourself, then” slogan.
We then invited people to upload their own art piece to a Facebook gallery where people could vote, support, and comment on their favorites.

During one week, 29 August -- 3 September, in a specially built glass box in the waiting hall of Stockholm Central Station, passers-by can watch as clothes are hung on a washing line, only to be soiled. Log onto Ariel's Facebook page -- www.facebook.com/arielsverige -- and you can win clothes by controlling a specially programmed industrial robot loaded with ketchup, drinking chocolate and lingonberry jam in real time. With designer garments as your targets, your challenge is to hit them as they swish in front of the robot at Stockholm Central Station. It´s easy: aim, stain and win. The stained garment will be sent in the post after being washed on-site with regular Ariel Actilift

Generosity is one of the basic elements in human happiness. However, research shows that just 1 in 10 people experience generosity from others. We would like to help change that trend, by doing something more than just giving chocolate. For one day only, Anthon Berg opened "The Generous Store". It was the world's first chocolate shop where you couldn't pay with cash or card, but the promise of a generous deed to a friend or loved one. If you did not make it to the shop, visit www.facebook.com/anthonberg.dk where the generosity continues.

Well, it depends: for users who’ve stumbled upon the viral video campaign from Lionsgate, promoting their latest horror movie The Last Exorcism, what started as a pleasant chat ended very… unexpectedly. We won’t spoil it for you — check out the video below (be advised, it contains strong words and unpleasant imagery) to see the best reactions of Chatroulette users.

A tried and true piece of advice offered to many high school seniors eager to get off a college admissions waitlist is to write a formal letter to the school specifically detailing why it's the perfect fit for you—and you for it. But when Lawrence Yong, a student at Granada Hills Charter High School in Los Angeles, realized he was one of thousands of students on the University of Michigan's waitlist, he took a 21st century-style approach. Yong sent the school a YouTube link of him singing his heart out in a Michigan-flavored cover of the Jackson 5 classic "I Want You Back." The video went viral and it worked: Yong got a spot in the 2012 freshman class.

Content marketing has become a powerful way for brands to build long-term relationships with customers while still generating short-term results. As a first step, many marketers are building out new brand publishing initiatives, often with the help of a content studio staffed by editors and journalists.
Robin Good: If you are looking for great examples of Facebook marketing at work, you may want to check the Facebook Studio, an official gallery/catalog of marketing campaigns using FB. "...a place where creative agencies and marketers can deposit examples of great campaigns that leverages on the online social network to connect with audiences and have authentic conversations.
So far Facebook Studio has over 750 examples submitted and approved from around the world, and Facebook also holds the Facebook Studio Awards every year to recognize and laud the best work in the field. Agencies can create an online profile on Facebook Studio that shows off their creative digital work, along with any of the awards accorded by Facebook. These profiles go into a directory which is searchable and accessible, so you can preview the work. Creatives who have worked on those projects or campaigns can be “tagged”, so people know who’s been involved in them. Creative individuals can also build their own profiles – which is separate from their regular Facebook profile (although they can be linked) – so that they can be tied to the work they’re involved in."

Ever Googled yourself? Your prospective employers are doing the same—and checking out your tweets, status updates, and photos. Of course, you're most likely finding out about them too. So we wanted to try a new kind of job interview: The Social Interview. We asked summer internship candidates to allow us to post three questions to their Facebook wall—not for them to answer, but for their friends to answer. It gave us a more complete picture of the candidates. With thousands of answers posted, we discovered some of the most young, social media savvy minds around.

An Israeli creative agency found a way to generate buzz on Pinterest. Recently, the company launched a campaign called “Inspiration Day” which involves finding 50 influential Israeli women on Pinterest. From there, they got them to repin items and sent some of the items that they pinned as gifts. The result? According to the video, almost 100 percent of the recipients posted a photo of the prizes on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram which resulted in more than 2,000 interactions and 684,853 impressions. Quite impressive results when you realize that all this happened through a mere 50 boxes of gifts.
