Using Facebook for promotions in an innovative way is a challenge nowadays, but this campaign for SAS shows that there are still new possibilities to be discovered. It’s quite simple, you just change your profile pic to the trip you want to win and add a a corresponding picture to your wall and you are in the draw to win a free flight. Oh, and Facebook closed it down after a few days, which is a sign of approval, I guess. By CP+B, Europe.

For the second year running DIA Future gives students the chance to do some great digital work for a real client and, if the work is better than the other submissions, pick up an award in front of the Danish ad industry at the annual Danish Internet Award in Copenhagen. This year the challenge is to do a mobile campaign for En Varm Seng (or A Warm Bed), a shelter which does what it says on the can – offer homeless people of all nationalities a warm bed and a hot meal too. A great initiative that needs all the help it can get.

Plant is once again responsible for the DIA Future campaign and getting the word out among students – and possibly causing a few sleepless nights and instant coffee overdoses along the way. But as the psychic on the campaign site will tell you, the hard work might well be the first step towards a glorious career in advertising. Simply log on to Facebook and the psychic will tell you what your future looks like (the psychic only speaks Danish).
