LONDON, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Porsche uses Web-based Augmented Reality (WebAR) to transform their print marketing used within major magazines across the Middle East.

Dubai-based digital agency Blue Logic partners with WebAR agency Aircards to develop and launch a highly engaging Web-based Augmented Reality print activation to promote the launch of the new all-electric Porsche Taycan.

The WebAR powered print ads were featured in major magazines across the Middle-East, including publications such as Vogue Arabia, Emirates Woman, GQ Middle-East &amp; Forbes. The experience transforms a classic Porsche ad into the modern version in front of peoples eyes, live from the page using Web-based Augmented Reality technology.

The print ad displayed a QR code, inviting readers to ‘Scan To See The Future’. Readers could scan the QR code with their mobile camera and activate the experience instantly. Once activated, readers could point their phone at the advertisement to turn a classic Porsche model into the brand new Porsche Taycan, with no app required to view the experience.

QR code activations have seen an exponential rise in popularity due to the recent pandemic and ever increasing focus on contactless activations. Blue Logic and Aircards took advantage of the mainstream adoption of this activation type to enable maximum possible user engagement.

Head of Commercial Operations, Lewis Collins said’

‘It was great to work alongside the innovative team at Blue Logic to provide this Web AR activation for such an iconic brand like Porsche. This experience is another fantastic example of how Web-based Augmented Reality can be used within print media to elevate the brand message.’

Lewis continued:

‘The Taycan is Porsche’s first all-electric car – so promoting innovation with innovative technology like WebAR is very fitting! We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Blue Logic on future activations.’

You can watch a video of the experience in-action to see how it works.

The Porsche Taycan experience was developed on the 8th Wall WebAR framework. Aircards are an 8th Wall Premier Partner and are the agency behind experiences such as the Verizon Santa’s Grotto experience, and the Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold Yosemite portal.

For those unfamiliar with WebAR, the key unique feature is that no app download is required to view the Augmented Reality experience. It all simply takes place in the mobile web browser of any compatible iOS or Android device, significantly lowering the barrier to entry as compared to app-based AR experiences of the past.

‍About Aircards: Market-leading WebAR Agency; creators of some of the biggest WebAR campaigns of 2020. Their impressive work includes high-profile activations for Dell Technologies, AB InBev, Samsung, Vodafone, Verizon, Unilever (Pot Noodle) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Leaving his 14-year tenure at Revenue Management Systems – An Accelya Group Company, Moriarty comes on board to accelerate innovation, as Kambr continues to lead airlines to new levels of productivity and performance for their revenue analysts.

«I’m excited to be joining this team of seasoned and agile revenue management experts. The timing is right for a shakeup in parts of the airline industry, said Moriarty. «I’ve seen firsthand how frustrating it can be when airlines feel like they are not getting ahead of the curve, so I find Kambr’s trailblazing approach to be very refreshing and necessary.»

Moriarty will lead Kambr’s growing development team, working closely with co-founder Michael Peters, applying their product and industry acumen to deliver revenue management solutions that un-constrain revenue analysts, freeing up time so they can do more meaningful, revenue generating work at a fraction of the cost.

Global Customer Expansion

In addition to publicly announcing software deals with three airlines in the past year, Kambr has signed two other airlines soon to be announced. Chilean Sky Airline, Russian Ural Airlines and Turkish Corendon Airlines have all been impressed with both the software and the consultation provided by Kambr.

«Kambr’s team and system are much more flexible. Therefore, it was easy to make a decision because Kambr is willing to apply their expertise to fit our specific needs. We would’ve had more trouble with the other solutions,» said Olcay Türker, CTO, Corendon Airlines.

One of Kambr’s unique selling points is its product’s ability to seamlessly plug into an airline’s existing tech stack instead of uprooting entire systems.

«Kambr has a strong product vision which fits well with our strategic objectives. The integration of Amadeus real-time data has led to significant productivity gains,» said Skuratov.» In addition, we highly value the Kambr team’s expertise and support.»

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TwinSpires, the industry-leading online wagering platform for horse racing, sports, and iGaming, is proud to announce that Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre will star in the company’s new brand campaign.

As part of a multi-year ambassador agreement with the Super Bowl champion, Favre will feature as the face of TwinSpires’ new Bet Dedicated campaign, which celebrates the brand’s expansion from offering online wagering on horse racing, to also including online sports betting and casino games.

Michiganders will be the first to see the new campaign when TwinSpires launches its new online sportsbook in the Wolverine State as early as next week, pending final regulatory approval.

Along with a mix of traditional and digital media advertisements, the campaign is built around a video commercial, where Favre is challenged to a series of betting-related boot camp drills.

Produced in partnership with creative house BOC Agency and Stept Studios, the commercial pays homage to TwinSpires’ betting expertise, courtesy of its association with Churchill Downs – home of the world-famous Kentucky Derby and nearly 150 years of wagering history in the United States.

«As a campaign concept, Bet Dedicated is not only a reflection of our heritage, but also the brand promise we are making to our players,» said Sean Phinney, VP Marketing for TwinSpires. «Brett epitomizes what it means to be dedicated, and we’re thrilled to have him star in this campaign as we launch the TwinSpires online sportsbook and iGaming platform into Michigan and other states.»

«I knew this was a campaign I could get behind the moment it was introduced to me,» said Favre. «I was never the biggest or the strongest or the fastest, but throughout my career I outworked the guys that had the same dream, because I was the most dedicated.»

TwinSpires’ parent company, Churchill Downs Incorporated, recently announced that all of its BetAmerica sportsbooks would rebrand as TwinSpires in the first half of 2021. The mix of retail and online sportsbooks that will transition to the TwinSpires brand are currently available in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Mississippi, Michigan and Colorado.
